Summernationals was held at WSID over the weekend past, with a huge competitors list, ranging from Super Street, Junior Dragsters, Modified Bike, Competition Bike, Modified, Super Sedan, Super Gas, Competition, Super Stock and Super Charged Outlaws.
I have to say I really do enjoy seeing classes like the super stock running 9 and 10 sec passes, with so much attitude and wheel standing at the 30 foot mark. It is so much easier to relate with those classes. Don’t get me wrong, cars running below 7 sec’s are definitely NOT boring they just seem to do it seemingly easy, I’m sure it does not feel easy inside the car though. Nothing like watching a car get all tail happy mid track or even lifting the front wheels 2 or 3 feet off the deck.
Summernationals proved once again to be one of the top events on the Drag racers calendar, with Jack Daniels femaleracer Kath Stevens becoming the first lady in the world to run into the 5sec bracket in a doored racing vehicle after an incredible 5.968.
