Summer fun from where we came from in Illinois always includes racing and the drags are my personal favorite! I've been a drag racing fan ever since I was a little girl. Growing up on the South Side of the great City of Chicago, the infamous "Chi-Town Hustler" was being built in a garage just down the block from me. I can remember the sound of the enormous motor revving up on Saturday mornings as they worked endlessly tuning her up for Sunday's drags.
Although I was only 11 or 12 years old at the time, I somehow knew that that sound and that smell of burning rubber and Nitro Methane would stick with me forever. At that time, ChiTown Hustler was in her infancy. Who would have known that it would become a legend in drag racing history. And Austin Coil, of Team John Force, would become my hero!
As time passed and I met my husband, I had no idea that we would someday be working with cars like these and watching our friends on the same tracks that I remembered from my much younger years.
Here are a few videos of friends and customers having fun in the quarter mile!
