Default Rainy day? Stuck at work? Drag Week feed

And Day 4 is upon us, and brings a shake up to the leaderboard in the Unlimited class! Larry Larson had trouble getting a clean pass in his '66 ChevyII yesterday while Jeff Lutz in his '57 BelAir laid down a 7.002 @ 212! So Lutz takes the overall lead with a 7.06 @ 212mph average while Larson slides to a 7.11 @ 198mph average, with Tom Bailey in his '69 Camaro creeping up with a 7.33 @ 189mph average [somewhere on the backroads of Arkansas in the middle of the night Tom had a rocker fail, so he's scrambling to find a replacement in time to make the call on Thursday]. If they all made the horrendous drive last night and can survive tonight's drive back to Tulsa then tomorrow will be an absolute slugfest!

Day 4 feed:

Yep! I think this years route is 1600 miles? And it's not hop on the interstate and boogie, the Hot Rod staff picks your exact route and hands you the directions as you leave each track, and it's mostly off the map backroads, with distinct landmarks you are required to get your car photographed with. The road was so rough on the first leg that one car had it's front cross member ripped out...
