The lanes were packed all day with cars from MANDRA and the Pro Stick gang along with a pile of motorcycles, youngsters just starting out, and people there to test and tune their hot rods.

A sky that was picture perfect. The staff kept things flowing smoothly all day long. On days like this, these folks more than earn their keep, out there on the hot asphalt doing what it takes for the racers to have the best experience possible. Special thanks to each and every one of them!

One of the things I enjoy is just talking to all the racers. Hearing what’s going on with their cars, the changes they’ve made, the plans they have for next year. They range from the serious racer to folks just out doing what the heroes they followed as youngsters were doing when they were growing up. Seizing that chance to experience ground-pounding racing while they still can. For these folks, getting the most out of what life has to offer includes the sights and smells of the drag strip. That adrenaline rush of freedom when the light goes green. Not to mention all the people they get to share it with. Nothing is as family friendly as drag racing, and this event, at this track, is a perfect example. The season’s not over, so get out to Beaver Springs Dragway as soon as you can to become a part of what these people feel each time down the track. Mike and Mikey McCracken both work hard to see the racers and fans get the best experience possible. Come check out what they’ve done and watch some great racing. You’ll be glad you did.
