NEA King of the Street Race

[hammerhead2]

This was just a local event at a small 1/8 mile track near us in Newport AR. Figured I'd share the vid. Most cars were mid 11's to mid 10's (1/4 mile). Some faster and some slower. The guys putting it on tried hard to keep it all real street cars and not just something that could be driven on the street but spends most of its time on a trailer.

The track was not highly prepped in order to keep it more like an actual street. The center bulbs are removed from the tree so the staging lights are used and then the "flagger" puts his arms up to let the tower know to give them the greet light. Cars leave on the green light activation.

Thats pretty cool, they do something like that here. Cars have to meet up and drive to the track

LMAO yeah it was all night. Traction was an issue all night and that lane was the better one.

I should have messaged you about it. They are going to do it again sometime. For the first ever event it ran pretty well and the turn out was pretty good.

Is there a reason the guy is arm dropping when they are just going off the lights anyway? lol Rich Franklin wannabe.

LOL he raises his arms after he confirms both drivers are ready to signal the tower thats its ok to drop the light. There are no center bulbs on the lights so its just a green light and go.

Looks like it was held in someones backyard filmed with an 8mm camcorder. Maybe a Hi 8mm.....
