Two events, one weekend, promoter’s nightmare or race fans dream?
Drag racing’s perfect storm is descending upon the Carolinas, but this one is not of meteorological proportions.
This double-whammy is clearly of fantastical proportions.
Within two hours and less than 100 miles apart, two drag racing national events promise standing room only crowds.
Outside of Charlotte, located in the town of Concord, the NHRA will
stage its inaugural Carolinas Nationals at Bruton Smith’s new Bellagio
of drag strips, the zMax Drag Stip.
To the east, the legendary Rockingham Dragway will stage the fifth
annual running of the ADRL Dragstock event; arguably the largest of all
fast doorslammer drag racing events complete with blown outlaw and
nitrous machines as well as mountain motor Pro Stocks and a class of
motorcycles.
