One of the most ingenious ways we saw to combat the heat of idling a l.OOOhp bullet down country roads in traffic came from Mount Joliet, Tennessee, racer Shannon Carnathan and his engine builder, Daryl White. To keep the twin-turbo and fuel-injected 555ci Chevy cool, the duo first ditched the '71 Nova's hood and then made a chin spoiler out of cardboard and aluminum foil. Finally, the guys stopped at Home Depot and bought flexible plastic hose and a fertilizer hand pump and used that to douse...

Geoff Dugopolski Racing
Bubba is 6'A feet tall with a heart of gold. Danny Morrison is the only person to enter and finish every single Drag Week event. He's also wrenched on and bailed out more competitor cars than anyone else in the history of Drag Week . Among other saves this year, when he heard that Unlimited racer Jeff Lutz was tearing apart his engine in the last few hours of competition to fix it and take a shot at making a 6-second pass, Danny grabbed his tools and friends and headed right over to Jeff's pit...

We knewthe rat rod cover story would elicit opinions on both sides of the fence and figured the Vette Hack story would likewise generate some mail, but oh man, we had no idea. Here are some of the reactions to both. Rob Kinnan I loved the article on rat rods, thanks in no small part to the lack of sideways ball caps and iron crosses which were only...

When was the last time you watched any car go 10.69 on BFGoodrich Radial T As Not drag radials, radial-radials Sometimes the struggle between man and machine is to handcraft the unexpected, and sometimes the metal is actually fiberglass. We didn't expect much from Bobby Russo's little red '64 Corvette when it pulled up to the line in Ohio, and when it quietly rolled away from the Tree, we actually turned our heads back to the burnout box to see what was coming up next. The track announcer let...

In this issue you'll read about HOT ROD's sixth annual Drag Week, a trial that, in our opinion, delivers the truth about who really has the quickest street cars in the world A number of events have claimed that result over the years, but they have been victim of rules creep, the ever-slippery slope of tech advancements that take out the street and ramp up the race. Specifically, we can recall the earliest HOT ROD Fastest Street Car Shootouts of the '90s that quickly regressed to cars that had...
