Since it seems I may NEVER make Drag Week I sit and watch all the coverage, I heard Freiburger mention that they had a weeks worth of epic tracks lined up and one of the 4 had a scheduling conflict. Anyone care to take a guess as to which tracks they were? I mean Indy is pretty top tier if you ask me.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the tracks that we ended up with. There was a scheduling conflict Sunday, so we couldn't test until evening. Maybe nothing else worked out, so they decided to go with what they had, and live with the conflict.
This year was an awesome set of tracks and a great route!Last edited by Hemi Joel; October 1, 2015, 09:24 AM.

It was! And I got to drive in 10 states, which was pretty neat. All the way to Wisconsin. Great Lakes and Cordova I'd heard about for years, it was nice to see them in person...if only for a short time. We didn't dilly dally at either track.

I forget what day it was but DF said they had four tracks lined up and one had a scheduling problem that caused them to scrap that whole route idea. Then they came up with another grouping/route idea and that also fell through due to scheduling and/or personnel. He (DF) gave the impression that this year's Drag Week route/schedule was at least plan "C".Last edited by 68scott385; October 1, 2015, 03:02 PM.

Yeah, it would. 2000 miles to get there, instead of 1500

I was just happy this year that they went a little farther north. It was so ridiculously hot at Bowling Green in 2013 that I didn't even want to be in the staging lanes. And in 2008 in Montgomery my trunk monkey almost died of heat exhaustion. The weather this year was outstanding, and I hope they keep next year's event in the milder climates. Its gotta help spectator attendance too...Last edited by jaybnve; October 2, 2015, 09:41 AM.

my health at Bowling Green that year... I must admit that I felt like I
would pass out from the heat that year.. plus I was having heart issues
that year(my by-pass had collasped and I was waiting on the surgery
to correct it)... it was just too damn hot there.... Indy was hot also..
some of you guys sure work your asses off to finish the week....
congrats to all of ya....

Montgomery 2008, that was the worst ever for this northerner. 5 hours working on the car in the middle of 10 acres of asphalt with 95 -100 degree temps, high humidity, and no shade and no breeze. I found a garden hose behind the concession stand and just stood under the stream of water until I was completely drenched. Then I felt better.
We went back to Montgomery for power tour 2011, and it was just as hot, or worse.Last edited by Hemi Joel; October 2, 2015, 10:33 AM.
