Larry Dixon kept his perfect final round streak alive Monday by racing to his 10th win of the season at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil, the world’s most prestigious drag race. Ashley Force Hood, Greg Stanfield and LE Tonglet also were winners in their respective categories.
Possibly the most anticipated race of the year for many will be happening this weekend at Cecil County Dragway. The Yellow Bullet Nationals is a race from within a forum, www.yellowbullet.com – which is unofficially the largest site on the internet for heads up, doorslammer racing.
A packed house and great racing action was the result of the NMCA’s trip to Milan Dragway in Milan, MI the weekend of August 27-29, 2010. As this is the NMCA’s sixth race of seven, the points chase in each class was on the line and the end result was some fantastic racing action.

Chris Rini led the list of winners as the NMCA visited the Milan Dragway in Milan, MI, the IHRA Nitro Jam rolled into Maryland International Raceway, and the NHRA Lucas Oil Series saw a full slate of events in Kansas, Kentucky, and Maryland. Also, last weekend the San Antonio Raceway held the Ultimate Grudgefest.
Atomic Dog put on one of the biggest grudge races in Texas history along with some heads up classes. The race was put on at San Antonio Raceway on August 21 to a huge crowd of race fans. There were a couple of bracket classes, 5.80 and 7.00 index classes, a True 10.5 class and a Pro Mod class.
We’ve all been accustomed to the surroundings of Maple Grove Raceway nestled in the mountainous area of Pennsylvania. Annually there comes a show to the Grove that states the obvious; “The Rumble At The Grove” featuring the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association.
The heat was out in force for the event, but that didn’t keep the spectators or participants away. Car count was the highest we’ve seen in at the event in recent years and, at just about any point through the weekend, the drag strip staging lanes were at capacity.

Nostalgia drag racing. Those three words alone immediately conjure up mental images of metal flaked front-engine rails with polished zoomies, Moonie discs, and hopped up factory Super Stockers and lightweight altered cars. There’s nothing quite like it.
