    I would agree with that. This was my first dw and I was a huge drag week fan before that, but it doesn't matter how many videos you watch it can't be communicated.

      I'm driving my copilot crazy with new ideas on dw13 plans on possible new gasser or new engine for poison gas.

        Been a couple of year's sense my DW experience but the memories are priceless. And memory are all we can take to the other side so we better have all we can get.

            I just keep talking about it too. I was just a spectator for the whole event (we flew in from Holland to tag along) but would love to participate. The memories are priceless and I can't talk enough about it.

            There may be some changes to legislation over here in Holland which could mean I'm going to have to pay road tax for all my classic cars too (around $1200 a year per vehicle, I own 4). If this gets through parliament, I am considering shipping my twin turbo Dart to the US and storing it there. That would automatically mean I have a car to run with.

              Our truck is still proudly wearing it’s DragWeek 2011 banner wrap covering both doors – this wrap is a photo copy of an actual DW banner that over 60 DragWeek participants sign in 2011. From time to time people come up to me and ask if they too can sign it – answer is always NO, followed by my verbal definition what DragWeek is and what it means to me.

              The curiosity never stops - Tuesday night I was coming back from Front Sight hand gun training in Nevada, stopped for fuel in Baker, CA and three Austrians came up to me to ask about the truck and DragWeek, they had read about DragWeek and wanted to hear more.

              Don’t know when to remove the banner and return the truck into a sleeper, that wrap is a sure way of attracting like-minded folks you will enjoy talking to…

              Love DragWeek, Love DragWeek folks, Love talking DragWeek.

                    I went to a small local mopar race this last weekend. I parked next to a friends enclosed trailer that he brought his show car out in. I parked there so I could have a safe place to put my tools(another sign this was NOT drag week). I found myself making it a point to people I talked to that it was NOT my trailer lol.

                            Judy, Chad's mom tells me to shut up every time I bring up Drag Week because they wouldn't let Chad participate.

                              Every time I wear my "If you haven't finished Hot Rod's Drag Week, then please shut up" shirt, someone shows up with a "If you went on Hot Rod's Drag Week, would you please shut up" shirt.

                              Good thing I ignore them.
