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....

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. The LS ate a camshaft.

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.

I have a buddy that registered and headed that way only to have the trans in his car fail on the drive out.
