A Close call from Cecil County Dragway

Cecil County Dragway is nestled in the quaint little community of Rising Sun, Maryland and once a month they host there Saturday Night Street Car Shootout. These shootouts are packed full of excitement and some of the very best racing you will find anywhere in the country. Even enough for the Dragzine crew to bring you coverage on a monthly basis. From Outlaw 10.5 to a host of index classes they have something for everyone and with the crowd comes so exciting and nail biting footage like we have here.

Check out the Cecil County section on YellowBullet for upcoming races.

One of the greats behind the video camera in the northeast is Arnie Cohen and he has had quite a few close calls over the years as she stands in tall and takes one for the team. He has even been given the nickname “Crash Magnet” by a fellow photographer at Cecil County. In this episode of Arnie’s close calls it is the Outlaw 10.5 Camaro owned by Kenny Doak and driven by Gary Naughton. Naughton has to peddle the car at the hit of the throttle and does so several times before it makes a move towards the right wall and eventually makes contact right in front of Cohen who was videoing all along. The damage is minimal and since Kenny is the owner of K&K Advanced Door Car Technologies it will not be long before the Camaro is repaired and back in racing form. If you really like the look of the Camaro it is even for sale.

Another close call was by another Outlaw 10.5 car. The blue Corvette (whom we were unable to get a driver’s name for) started fighting for traction around the same point that Naughton did. The car made a hard left hand turn narrowly missing Tom Kasper who was on a great pass. The Corvette just scraped the left wall which made the damage much more minimal than it could have been. Look for both of these cars to return to action very soon.
