The
ATI Drag Pak Challenger you saw on the
Home page isn't the only one here this weekend; this is
the Jeg's Drag Pak, driven by Pro Stock
ace Jeg Coughlin, Jr.
If you're not aware, this man loves to compete in all types
of drag racing, from heads-up to hardcore brackets. He is
a true sportsman and a fixture at many big-money races.

It
was at this event last year that this car lost it's chutes
and blasted into the sand trap... |
...and
this is who was behind the wheel for that wild ride. Alexis
DeJoria is one fearless TA/FC racer. She walked
me through what's involved in staging these cars and getting
them off the line; they sound like a handful to say the
least. |

It
won't hook! |
The
big names are here in Force. |

This
is Ed Alessi Jr. in The PC Richard &
Son entry of Gary Richard. He's in there, I swear. |
Here's
Ed launching... |
|
|
...and
here's another angle of the same pass. I can run REALLY
fast. |
It's
too bad Thursday is...well, Thursday, because a lot of great
action is missed due to the fans having to work. |

Time
shots for Comp Eliminator. |

The
weight-to-power ratio on these is ridiculous. Better hold
on! |
