Drag Racing: High-Speed Action for All
It’s no secret that I love drag racing; after all, I grew up with the sport. My father was a sportsman racer (the category for non-professional drag racers), so my parents took us kids to the track from the time we were babies. I grew up watching my dad work on his race car, both […]
