We know Jessie Harris isn’t afraid to exercise his 6.7-liter Cummins diesel-powered 1975 Chevrolet 1/2-ton pick-up on the street and the track during numerous drag-and-drive events. But what does it make for power?

“I love driving my car every day, everywhere. Drag racing and meeting new people that enjoy the same hobby is what has gotten me interested in the drag-and-drive world.”

In February of 2024, after the latest round of upgrades and a visit to Nicolas Performance for a tune-up, Colby Davis posted a short dyno clip to his Instagram page showing 2156 rear-wheel-horse-power!

While we did write about several track closures in 2023, it was refreshing to hear and see about a few tracks coming back to life as well. It’ll be just a few weeks before a popular track in Alabama re-opens with a new name, Rocket City Dragway, this spring.

Ford definitely got some eyeballs with a 7.75 at 180 mph pass in their Super Cobra Jet 1800 at last weekend’s NHRA Winternationals; will it open people’s minds to the possibility of owning, driving and even racing electric cars in the future?

“I’ve never run a seven-second pass, and if I can get one, I’ll leave a happy man.” Considering Kyle Williams finished second in the small tire class at the 2023 Miles of Mayhem event, TX2K would give him a solid chance for that 7-second blast.

Although he exited before the final round was contested, the big news out of Alabama is Stevie ‘Fast’ Jackson’s record run of 3.48 at 213.82 mph, setting a new mark for the quickest radial-tire car.

Will Stevie ‘Fast’ Jackson be able to capture his second-straight Radial Versus the World win this weekend?

Hoping the 5.3-liter LS-based combination had one more solid run in it, Rich Woodward spooled up the twin-turbo Mustang and rocketed off the starting line. But by the time he reached the finish line, things had changed; a lot!

“I bought the car about three years ago as a roller and I’ve just been chipping away at it. It has a SFI 25.3 chassis already, and the cage work was complete and certified, had all the tin work done, and brakes done too.”

After six days of racing, weather and personal best for more than just a few drivers, the 25th anniversary of TX2K is in the books, and champions have been crowned in the thirteen drag racing classes, as well as four roll racing classes.

“Drag-and-drive is an opportunity for me and my husband to get to spend time just the two of us, doing what we love most, together and working as a team. Supporting each other, directing each other and just flat out laughing our asses off.”
