Default Hot Rod "Drag Week"

Not for sure how many other guys here follow the annual "Drag Week" event, but HotRod.com is doing a live feed...and it's *exceptional*...crystal clear picture, and you can read the clocks and understand the announcer perfectly.

https://www.youtube.com/user/HotRodMa.../l/LxGrWJXOt2Y

One of our very own, sYc member Dru Diesner has the old W2W Nova (pictured below) in this event...should be good for 8s @ 150 or so I reckon. This event is on my bucket list...



Here's the itinerary:

Moday, Sept. 12
Day 1 Racing: 9am to noon Heartland Park, Topeka
Drive 198 miles to Great Bend.

Tuesday, Sept. 13
Day 2 Racing: 9am to noon SRCA Dragstrip, Great Bend, KS
Drive 337 miles to Amarillo.

Wednesday, Sept. 14
Day 3 Racing: 9am to noon Amarillo Dragway, Amarillo, TX
Drive 381 miles to Tulsa.

Thursday, Sept. 15
Day 4 Racing: 9am to noon Tulsa Raceway Park, Tulsa, OK
Drive 212 miles to Topeka.

Friday, Sept. 16
Day 5 Finals: 3pm to end Heartland Park, Topeka

According to 1320.go and their live streaming (http://www.1320go.com/heartland/getSeries.php), Dru just ran a 9.94 @ 136.75, his first pass of the day. Here's the splits, for those interested...

.057 R/T
1.482 60'
4.127 330'
6.356 1/8
109.530 MPH
8.298 1000'
9.944 1/4
136.75 MPH

Nice &quot;O&quot; light for the first pass of the day! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Live Timing: http://www.1320go.com/amarillo/timeslipsonline.php

Looks like Amarillo has a GREAT internet connection, so the feed is rocking...which is nice because yesterday's feed sucked.

[btw: drew is car # 84]
