Midwest Drags

Bryan Anders nitrous fed 427 pilots one of the shortest wheel based cars within the Drag-N-Drive Community. The 1977 Chevette (with matching trailer). Besides competing for the giveaway car in 2021, Anders raced with us in 2019. Anytime you can finish a Drag-N-Drive, it's impressive. Doing so with a weekly average of 8.938 is more so. Especially because Midwest Drags is the DND that requires two (2) time slips per day across four days. Class Champions are crowned with the lowest ET of Eight slips.

In 2021 Tony McFall out of Ohio finished the week strong, 3rd place in Modified NA. Long time bracket racers, NHRA 10.90 and 6.50 index, the Midwest Drags was McFall's first swing at Drag-N-Drive. To survive the week, McFall reduced his launch RPM from 4,500 to 3K however, the powerglide and 410:1 still spun the motor to 7800 on the big end. The E85 SB only ran out of fuel one time due to the 4 mpg and other than a single 4 link hyme, the old bracket car proved it can live on the streets.

In July of 2023, The Midwest Drags began our 'East Coast Invasion' and local, Hobart Trent raced with us for the his first time. The Hot Rod class is not an easy one, all cars are required to be 1949 or older and don't sport the modern driving comforts of newer cars. At the time, Trent thrashed to make his build driveable and a full interior was a comfort he willing to live without. Two hits per day and 850 miles later, Trent rolled into Virginia Motorsports Park on Friday, finishing the week.
