Fear and Loathing on the East Coast: A Drag Racing Odyssey


It's nearing midnight and the alarm is set for 5:30 am, so this will be one of the shortest What's New updates on record. Click on the "Fear and Loathing" logo above and spend some time checking out a real drag racing roadtrip, courtesy of our good friend Phil Hutchison on the East Coast.

He started his trip at Cecil County Dragway in Maryland last weekend; stopped for a quick pitstop at home, then flew to Indianapolis yesterday for this weekend's US Nationals.

Then he shifts into high gear next week, covering the NHRA Division One race at Englishtown, New Jersey, before scooting up to Epping, New Hampshire for the IHRA North American Nationals. If he's still not out of gas, money, or his mind, he'll pick up the chase at the Keystone Nationals on the following weekend and after a weekend off (slacker!), finish up his journey at the Budds Creek, Maryland President's Cup Nationals.

The first three installments of his story are now posted, complete with the first (of many, we hope) great photos from the events. Check it out, then keep checking back for the continuing story over the next month. This should be fun.
