HOT ROD Drag Week is the event that takes street racers to five races at four drag strips in five days, and the cars are required to drive on the highway from track to track with no support vehicles. In 2011, Drag Week went 1,260 mile from Topeka, Kansas, to Great Bend, Kansas; Amarillo, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and back to Topeka.
great video, explaining what Drag Week is, what happens there and some racing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNkhy13FVjk |

 after running a couple passes at WSID sand left over from sandblasting was coming out onto the track, luckily himself, the car and noone else got hurt or damaged.it would be awesome to go over. have always wanted to do one of these. the APSA has sorta mentioned maybe trying something here also. maybe just with east-coast tracks or regional tracks. |

Sounds like fun the Carpi would go good at this sort of format. Don't worry about the sand the amount of gravel, grass and dirt the grass pit guys bring to the start line each run should be a ongoing concern.
