(Photos by David Whealon) – The 2017 PDRA East Coast Nationals were an awesome show in front of a great crowd at GALOT motorsports park in North Carolina. The event was well populated by both racers and fans alike. This race proves year after year that North Carolina is home to some of the best door slammer drag racing fans in the world. These racers know that they are at the forefront of both performance and showmanship and they do the best to give the paying spectators the best bang for their buck.
