Attend a weekly test-and-tune and you’ll see tons of racers hot-lapping their cars; attempting to squeeze in as many runs as possible from that $20 entry fee. A quick check of the tire pressure, a cursory glance at the gauges, and bag of ice on the blower or intercooler and they’re golden for the next pass. Try that in Nostalgia drag racing and you’re in for a rough, rough ride. Take a virtual walk through the pits of the 2017 Good Vibrations March Meet to get a glimpse of what these diehard drag racers put themselves through to go rounds of fuel racing. Nitro Hemis torn apart after every run, lash checks, rolling in bearings, clutch changes and all manner of broken parts are the norm. This kind of racing takes a special breed, and we’re glad they’re still out there.
