I highly recommend if you like a variety of cars, there is always cool, unique, and fast stuff there. But get there early, lots of those cars make one pass then hit the road.

Well worth the price of admission. A lot of cool stuff rolls through and its amazing how they haul everything in a racecar.

Me and 3 other Mopar guys from Germany. We did not get starting places so we just came over to watch and to
follow the whole week. Maybe we can annoy the guys from HRDW so hard we get a pre regis for 2020.

Welcome to the USA and I hope you have a great time. The only way anyone gets an early registration is to finish in the top three in their class or win the Spirit of Drag Week Award.

So far we really enjoyed the trip! Top three? We will arrive with a Toyota RAV rental car, so sounds feasible

Yeah I thought the east coast would actually be able to fill up the event with a real 400 cars. I know Hot Rod Doesn't Care, they sold 400 spots at just under $400 in just a few minutes, now as those people drop out they are selling more spots. I wanted to do a "Mopar's of Drag Week" thread but they have yet to publish an entrants list probably due to the massive drop outs. I guess those east coasters that begged the event to come east can't back it up lol  . Two strangest entrants I have seen are a 1919 air cooled Franklin, and a Modified Tesla. There is going to be people chasing E85, and people chasing parts, and the tesla guy is going to be on the hunt for extension cords!

I was thinking for fast charge at the track. Seriously tho, what else would you need to carry? No maintenance between rounds other than top up the charge and depending on what model, 4 wheel traction. One of those set on kill could lay waste to a large portion of the field. Kevin

Yes he could do that in the pits for sure.
I think i saw where he said it had "Ludicrous Plus" which has a better battery and he might have upgraded more on top of the weight loss I saw. Probably bottom 10s?

I was able to get the whole thing listened or watched by about 9:30 last night. Rain delay made for a crappy day but they got day one done.
The Franklin went a 30.XX@45 lol
The Tesla Went 10.47@124 and arrived at the hotel for the next day on the same charge he left with.
The Miller/Bowers/Shellehammer Dart went a 9.71 on its first pass.
Low ET was set by Tom Bailey with a 6.21@228 but the Swedes in the Opal went 6.43@230 so that should be a good battle.
The one pass only rule due to the rain ruined some peoples days for sure but plenty got it done. If you ran faster than your tech speed you got an automatic 20.00 ET.

Kevin Jeff Lutz had a generator running to keep his car driving on the first leg in 2016. so I guess it would be legal.

No, I fouled up in the registration race, and ended up on the wait list. I never got the email offering me a chance to register.

Drag week has been pro tree for many years For some reason, I do not remember it that way.... I think it went pro tree in 2016, but I might be wrong. I know Matt with the camaro has worked his tail off to be on drag week I hate to see him go out, his last in attempt in 2016 or 17 ended the same way unfortunately so something with his combo isn't happy.

Freiburger was saying yesterday that so many drop out that if you just show up that they wouldn`t turn you away. Apparently they never get the 400 needed on day 1. They were actually amazed at the amount of cars that completed the first leg....

They were actually amazed at the amount of cars that completed the first leg.... It's generally a 20-25% failure rate throughout the week. Only 10 cars dropped out after Day one. Still a lot of the week to go.

First days mileage was 160 with lots of stop and go traffic. Todays was 220 I think.Hope they can reach at least 900 miles for the week.Wife and I flew in to watch the action at Cecil yesterday.Caught up with most everyone we knew except red light Ross. He was in a second gen Corvette and not his RoadRunner.Hope its not a trend.I will say the number of spectators at Cecil County rivaled the number that Great Lakes Dragway is known for.

2014 was definitely the first year for the pro tree at Drag Week.

I don't think I want to risk getting paired up with a 6 second Esconda, or some other out of control berserko!  And besides that, I love racing the coupe, and want to be competitive.  In 1929, the Duesenberg was a rocket ship. In 2019, not so much.

Bailey just went 5.998 wow!!! Now that’s more like it. With some of the fastest tracks in the United States I expected to see some crazy fast times. These are all “new best” caliber type of tracks with sub sea level conditions

Edelbrock headed 408

Lets keep our fingers crossed Billy's nephew Billy (Dale's son) is in first place in his class and has a decent lead with only one other car running in their class. Super street big block power adder. 9.883 avg to 11.378 Go Rusty Duster Billy won his class, pretty sure Dale got a podium finish in the Gremlin and Brian finished in the Barnyard Viper. I think MoparBilly is pleased.

Steve Morris and Tom Baily get it done.......The talent and the abilities of that guy is unreal. Wow! Developed his own billet engine, built it, raced it, and shattered all the records....incredible. I wonder if its true the rumor he is working on a billet water Hemi next.

Brad Bower and his rider Brett Miller went on to win Super Street Small Block Naturally Aspirated. They made two runs on Friday, one was a 9.09. Congratulations on a job very well done. Photos from Brad's Facebook post.

The 4 week drag week build.
Car was basically a shell 4 weeks before drag week.
We finished putting it together at VMP first drive was about 7 pm that night.
Brad Bowers and I put about 8 miles on it that night and made its first pass after the rain cleared.
Then we set out to drive 1000miles in the heat on drag week.
You just don’t understand drag week until you “do it”
Our buddy tory Shellhamer did a bunch of fab work on the car in one week. (Headers in 2 days 😳)
We went on to win the class (SS SB NA)
The racing Gods rewarded our hard work with not much problems for the Craziness that is DRAGWEEK 😀👍🏻
The engine was built in 2011 for engine masters challenge.
410” we gave up 20” per the rules for small block.
Has over 150 dyno pulls and 100s of passes in my car.
Has had the cam and intake changed over the years.
But engine has not been apart from 2011.
I put a new set of valve springs on for the drag week deal.
Put a street oil pan on and pump in the pan for the drive.
We had no over drive and 28” tall tire with 4.30 gear engine was run 3500-4000 rpm all week on the 1000 + mile drive.
Super happy with the engine only thing done to engine all week was an oil change and cut/check filter.
We where shifting at 8700 rpm at the track 😉
I need a few good days of sleep to think about doing this again 😀 ^^^^ THAT IS SUPER IMPRESSIVE ! ! ! CONGRATS FOR SURE, THATS A BAAAAD STREET CAR RIGHT THERE
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

They won their class this year. It was fun to watch. Thanks to John Brown, he posted links to the live feed every day. If it hadn't been raining buckets Friday in Michigan, I'd have been on the road going to the Pure Stock Drags. You guys would have had to fend for yourselves. As it was, I wasted most of my day (week?) watching the live feed myself. Even when I had to go out, (for lunch, mainly) I ran the feed back so I could see what I missed. Glad to have done it. Now, where do I go to get paid. 
July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

The only full on Pro Mod on Drag Week has head lights, they get covered up when he makes a pass on the strip, then uncovered for the driving portions. It's a really press worthy car, even if it's not your bag. There is still a decent amount of coverage of the cars that we all build and race.

Had a blast on dragweek, plan to defend the title next year. Hope to make the car faster with some changes and testing . Wasn’t holding anything back was just figuring out what the car wanted and one track MIR we didn’t have a lot of fuel so we make a conservative hit to make sure it didn’t spin. Brett’s motor didn’t like my powerglide and Shiloh’s convertor had 2000 rpm fall back. But the whole set up worked really well on the street.
