I run a local lifestyle brand that highlights the great small business shopping, fun things to do, events and outdoor activities in and around our communities. Today we are back at ZMAX Dragway in Concord North Carolina as they host the DeWalt NHRA Carolina Nationals. Zmax Dragway hosted the NHRA back here in May that was the 4 wide race and was so much fun. Today is the 2nd day of racing at the NHRA Camping world countdown to the Championship playoffs which will be held in Las Vegas October 29-31, 2021.
The NHRA or the National Hot Rod Association have more than 200 classes of vehicles in the NHRA competition Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock are just 3 and Class eligibility is based on various requirements and specifications. Top fuel has some of the fastest accelerating cars capping out around 7000 horsepower and are considered to be the kings of the sport, or so I’ve been told. Pro stock cars are considered to be the factory hot rods and funny cars are similar to top fuel but have carbon fiber bodies.
Some would go as far to consider ZMAX Dragways the Bellagio of Drag strips. TIckets are just 99$ for a three day pass. Even better still, Every ticket is a pit pass giving fans direct access to the race teams between rounds and to scheduled autograph sessions where they can engage with their favorite driver. This is an all day affair so be sure to come prepared with sunscreen, earplugs and walking shoes.
The top drivers as of today are Steve Torrence in 1st, Brittany Force in 2nd just 12 points behind, Billy Torrence in 3rd, 43 points down… and the rest is on your screen. These vehicles go up to 330 MPH..its amazing. make sure to look up when the next race is and come on out! I hope you enjoyed our trip to the NHRA Zmax Dragway!
This was truly fun and you can watch this video here, if you are thinking about checking it out this coming year.
