Drag Weekend is a three day event where you drive your street car (race vehicle) to a different drag strip each day, race at each track, and the racer who collects the best average ET and survives the road, wins.
This event is going to be similar to Hot Rod's Drag Week, but there will be compromises due to not having private track rentals. We are open to feedback and want everyone to know we are aware that some of the parameters are different from Drag Week and other similar events.
Rules and regulations below:
Two classes will be run: Naturally Aspirated and Power Adder. Please see the September 27 details below, because there is a Muscle Car event at the last track. Your race vehicle must meet these criteria in order to race.
Limited to 25 race vehicles per class - the entry fee is $50 (cash, check or Paypal - add $1.50). Entry fee can be mailed to One Guys Garage, LLC, 8802 250th Street W, Lakeville, MN 55044. Paypal to

The total mileage for the route is 735 miles, calculated from our shop in Lakeville, MN.
You are not allowed to tow your race vehicle from track to track. You have to carry anything you will need for the weekend in or on your race vehicle or pull a trailer with your race vehicle. We are not having any size restrictions on the trailer you want to pull.
We have a support vehicles update. We are not regulating the vehicles your family or friends may be following along with. We welcome and encourage you to bring them to this event. If your race vehicle has to go onto a trailer or be towed in any manner at any time, you will be disqualified. It must run 100% of the time on its own power. Pushing by hand is accepted.
