Here’s the story of how street car racing went mainstream! I was on staff at Hot Rod Magazine during the creation of the legendary Hot Rod Fastest Street Car Shootout in 1992, and I was the editor when we started Hot Rod Drag Week, which was the origin of drag-and-drive racing. I’ll tell you the stories of how those events began, and I'll go way back to the 1940s through the 1970s to show you how hot rodding has always been the quest to find the fastest street car.
