(Photos by Robert Paxton) – There are few events in the country with the cool factor that the Kontinentals Day of the Drags event has. This race is a gathering of cool, weird, old timey, and fun hot rods at a historic little drag strip in Texas where they match race, square off, and generally fool around, all while having a spectacular time. The event is not about low elapsed time or being the best engineered, it is about showing up with your stuff and showing off your stuff. Little River Dragway in Texas is one of those tracks that has survived all of the sport’s ups and downs and while you’ll never mistake it for the Texas Motorplex, you surely cannot deny that the place has a flavor and character all of its own. In short, it is the perfect location for this event.
Robert Paxton was our man on the scene at The Day of the Drags and his photos are awesome. We’re going to share them in chunks over the next few days. Enjoy the first salvo below!
