HOT ROD Drag Week 2017, powered by Dodge and presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive

Because they’ve suffered through more than 900 miles of interstate, farm road, and small-town gridlock, competitors get a bit of a respite on the final day of Drag Week 2017. Unlike the normal, early days they’ve been used to, the gates at Cordova Dragway don’t open until 11:00, and racing doesn’t start until noon. That’s all well and good for weary racers, but what about everyone watching at home? It just so happens that our track photographers worked overtime during Thursday’s racing session and in addition to the gallery we posted yesterday, we’ve got even more photos of the socked in Great Lakes Dragaway and the fierce competition that followed after the fog lifted. Live coverage will resume at noon.

Dense fog greeted racers at Great Lakes Dragaway.
The staging lanes were full, the track was prepped, but we couldn’t see to mid track. Racing was delayed for an hour and a half.
Darby Otto’s 1974 Firebird was involved in an accident just three miles from the track. A ratchet strap, a floor jack, a hammer, and some duct tape were all employed to coax the bent metal back into shape.
The nitrous-powered, mountain-motored Corvette of Dave Schroeder and John Ens has been the only car to maintain an average in the six-second range at Drag Week 2017.
