2007 IHRA Iron Man Event

Every year I look forward to a few races at our local track. Usually the premier events that it has such as the Sprint Car race a few weeks ago and today's IHRA Iron Man Event on the drag strip. Now I love drag racing and can't get enough of the smell of alcohol burning engines and nitro burning funny cars, but since there is no nitro burning anything here this weekend I went to see the next best thing, Pro Mods! They are fiberglass bodied replica cars of earlier generation cars that use modern technology for suspensions and body and engines. Engines run on blown alcohol or injected nitrous combinations. Sure looks cool when they "purge" the nitrous. There was also other classes running there today as well such as the local "Renegade funny cars that run in high 7 second range and jr dragsters and the bracket cars. I took the grand daughter there and she had a good time gettin autographs from variuos drivers and got to see her hero who drives Jr dragtsers. But I was there to see Pro mods as they are usually pretty exciting to watch, loud and squirrelly! There was 3 top alcohol dragsters there to.not much to put on an event but good enough to get an alcohol fix!
