IT’S THE POWER TOOL DRAG RACES!

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

CHILL as machines reach speeds of up to SIXTY WHOLE MILES PER HOUR with 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
BE AMUSED at the charming antics of our well-known Power Tool Drag Race
Announcers!
BE APPALLED at the smell of RAW ADRENALINE and 20-W-50 in the air!

BE SUPER EXCITED that the Power Tool Drag races are making up for lost
time and having TWO! YES! TWO! separate events this year for your
sun-burnt, greased-up, over-beered, de-hydrated pleasure!

OH MY EFFIN’ GAWD, IT’S THE EFFIN’ POWER TOOL EFFIN’ DRAG RACES
