Drag Week starts in 2 weeks! I can't wait to meet some new Pontiac Drag Weekers! If you're not entered but want to see a huge collection of badass street cars from all over the world, get to one of the tracks and check it out. Sunday Sept. 8th is tech day and you will get to see all the cars. They usually have test and tune that day also so you'll get to see some cars on the track as well.

This is the fastest work week of the year for me. I put the livestream up on my phone and listen to it in the background while I go about my day. Week flies by. One of the gnarley Sweedish cars with a big block ended up on the roof today.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yesterday was at Cecil County Dragway. About 5 miles from my house. My neighbor took his son yesterday and had a great time! Good luck to all of the drivers.

That is Tyree Smith's 67 Firebird. N/A 535 with wide port E heads. 3150 race weight. He said it should be running in the 8.70's but they were having some issues with the EFI system. He did get it to go 9.12 @ 148.82 on the last day. He won the fastest Pontiac award for 2019. A badass N/A street car for sure!

Kerry, I went and have to say it was the best $20 bucks I ever spent at a track.
The Swede wrecked in front of us, could have been a lot worse.

That is a great shot of an 11 second, very stock appearing Lemans! I'd like to have gotten in on that photo shoot as well, but I was busy trying to find my way out of a questionable area of Baltimore....

I know it's not a Pontiac, but a good friend of mine won his class at Drag week. Glenn Hunter. 56 Chevy all steel, and original glass. Car weight is 3650. He won 3rd over all 1st in his class. His best pass was a 7.23 at 195. He does drive the car all over, even when not on drag week.
Drag week is on my bucket list, it is top of my list.
