THRILL as big-block belt sanders and supercharged steam-powered
arcwelders put the hammer down on our Custom Made Power Tool Drag Racing

LITTLE REGARD FOR PERSONAL SAFETY!
SPILL your beer as you revel in the very height of redneck gearhead culture!
YES! IT'S *THOSE* POWER TOOL DRAG RACES!!
Every year the very best and brightest take to their garages, the
plumbing aisle at Home Depot, the tools section of OSH, and the empty
lots behind their neighbors' trailers to build THOSE MACHINES WHO REIGN
SUPREME!
75 Feet of skillfully machined fiberboard Power Tool Drag Racing Track
await the competitors on race day!
BE AMAZED at the high-tech timing system that tracks Each and Every Vehicle

time and having TWO! YES! TWO! separate events this year for your
