Drag
Racing is as American as "Apple Pie" and is
recognized as one of the nation's leading motorsport
activities. The participants go from a standing
start to the end of a quarter mile with the
winner being the quickest through the finish
line electronic traps.
The IHRA (International Hot Rod Association)
and NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) will
be in the running to be the sanctioning body
for the drag racing venue at Top Gun. The IHRA
racing program will feature fifteen (15) classes
of
competition: Top Fuel Dragster, Screaming Eagle
Nitro Harley Motorcycles, Pro Modified, Funny
Car, Pro Stock, Super Eliminator, Top Sportsman,
Top Dragster, Modified, Quick Rod, Super Rod,
Hot Rod, Super Stock, Stock, and E.T. Bracket.
On the social Side, IHRA and
NHRA are a melting pot of family activity,
as pit areas are transformed into small
communities during race weekend. The family
spirit is alive at both organizations with
racer picnics, fellowship and church service,
all part of the racing experience.
