(Photos by Wes Allison) – It does not take a doctorate degree to figure out why people love drag radial style drag racing. Simply flip through these photos and you will see a load of killer cars that look…LIKE CARS. From Tommy Youman’s Pontiac GTO to Shane Stack’s Monte Carlo and a host of others, this are identifiable cars and they are all that plus they’re haul ass fast.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the original running of the Sweet 16 was pushed back to effectively butt right up against No Mercy so it was dubbed “Duck Week” at SGMP and all indications are that a good time was had by all. Lots of competitors stayed to run both races and by doing that, got a lot of runs in through test sessions and qualifying for the two events.
We were there for the No Mercy portion of the extravaganza and as you’ll see here, the cars were flying, the track was prepped, and drag radial fans sure got their money’s worth from the stands. Good stuff!
