In 1992 Hot Rod Magazine gathered a collection of the fastest street cars in America for a showdown in Memphis, Tennessee. The reverberations of this event are still being felt today as it helped to rocket the movement of “fast street cars” into the hot rodding stratosphere. This is the story of that event, as told be the editors, racers, and fans that were there.

Some of the guests on this show remember the race fondly, some with regret, and some, frankly, with their teeth gritted together, even 30 years later. It is a story about an event that changed the course of drag racing, changed the course of lives, and ultimately created things like Drag Week, Sick Week, Rocky Mountain Race Week, and the entire genre of Drag-n-Drive competition.

Since that fateful weekend in Memphis more than three decades ago, these racers have never never all been heard from in the same place again.
