Event Coverage Drag Week 2025....Who's Going?

I went the year before last and had a great time! Who is going this year and are you going to compete or spectate? I might as well show up again this year!!

 

Will likely try to catch at least one of the Budd’s Creek dates.

 

I'm not signed up, but I plan on showing up and racing. Off topic car though.

 

BTT

 

Too far east for me this year, have fun fellas.

 

Not me

 

Competing, driving it from Iowa. Car's a 1966 so a year too new for here.

 

getting close...

 

BTTT

 

Are you coming to race? will I see you at Numidia?

 

Wow, it starts next week already!

 

yeah, I'll be there, unrecognizable....see the off topic forum for more info.

they did away with the Hot Rod class, and there don't seem to be any Gasser class guys here on the HAMB. So I guess Drag Week has kind of made itself irrelevant to the traditional hot rodding crowd.

 

Is @mcmopar running this year? Or @Hemi Joel ?

My brothers are spectating at Budds Creek today and tomorrow, if they send any hamb friendly pics I'll post them

 

I guess I'm a traditional rodder, but I follow drag week.
Of course I like the really quick cars, but I watch them all. I still like drag racing.

 

Squirrel just went 10.98 @ 124

 

Beautiful 37 coupe

 

Really nice 33 Tudor spotted in the coverage with an OT engine.
Go Jim!

 

The orange chop top? If so it looks awesome and stick shifted too

 

I saw @squirrel first run.
Was he able to improve later on?

 

I didn't see him come back up.

Lots of breakage in the fast classes

 

Think he was one and done.

 

It's even worse here in Australia. I went through the competitor list for the Aussie version of Drag Week and out of the 280+ entrants there was only one hot rod, a SBF powered , Jag IRS kitted center door T. He is always a serious competitor at any drag, go-whoa or driving event and it's driven to and from the events. The bulk of entrants for the event were Holden or Falcons from 1960 till they stopped production.

 

Back up for more coverage....hopefully.

 

Jim ran an 11.

 

Cecil is my home track, about 20 minutes from my house. I'm going to try to get down there in the afternoon to spectate.

 

Unfortunately a black 55 chevy with the name Sinbad on the quarter just rolled near the finish line. Looked bad

 

...Oh No! Hoping for the best for the driver.
