https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XjjmcApun What a run to secure first place in his class! Absolute madness! Congrats to Finnegan! Bailey has done the fastest pass ever at Drag Week for a car that has completed the week at 6.07 and he may try one more time to get a 5.....

I'm just home after dinner with The Dancing Grannies (seriously, Google them!) and turned YouTube on - Tom Bailey was the third car down the track. Perfect timing or what?!

Drag week is such a cool event idea.
I'd never 'got' drag racing till I was lying on the sofa a couple of Septembers ago, with a cold and rather bored looking on youtube for something to distract me from feeling rubbish. I stumbled across the drag week coverage, and it connected some how. Such a cool challenge of man and machine to run these machines built purely for straight line speed across 1000 mile road trip. Now drag racing related content makes up a good 75% of what I watch on youtube!
