Rain keeps racers at home
by Neil Van Zile
Most drag racing fans in the Northeast spent their Memorial Day weekend sitting patiently by their computers and phones waiting for the notice that racing at their favorite venue was canceled due to rain. In the end, a number of highly anticipated events had to be canceled or postponed.
New Oxford Dragway was the only drag strip in the region that completed its racing eliminators this past weekend. Friday night was cool and dry and that allowed all five classes to finish their racing.
The New England Sand Drags started their Race #2 on Sunday, but rain washed out the event before they finished the races. They plan to finish these eliminators on their next scheduled race date, June 12-13.
Here are some links for photos from all of the racing last weekend.
