Default Photos - Drag Week 2013 - Gateway Raceway

My son Joe and I took the day off work to go to the Hot Rod Magazine Drag Week event at Gateway drag strip in Madison, IL. Some very cool cars including a lot of LS powered vehicles. I have loaded all my pics to Photobucket....

Here are a few teasers first....





When is the last time you saw a drag chute and wheelie bars with a trailer hitch in between them?









This cool S10 Blazer is actually a pickup with the Blazer panels hung on to make it look like a Blazer.





Pro Mod Camaro in disguise with lights and license plates.



Hot Rod Mags Finnegan reading instructions to a racer while he is working under the car.



The badest car at Drag Week.



Comes with cup holders.

The best entertainment $5 can buy! Also, the most fun I have ever had on Wednesday.

You mean this one?



I had to take a shot of it, Joe and I both love El Caminos. Wish we'd have known you were from this forum we'd have tried to meet up with you.

Here is our build thread....
