Drag Week

I could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure dw only takes a set number of cars and fills very fast. If you do get in, get the rules before you put your car together and build for a class. Another show you might be interested in is rocky mountain race week. Same general kind of event but smaller than dw. Good luck

From what I've read, if you don't get in on the internet registration day to immediately send drag week an email requesting to be on the waiting list. Then just show up at the track on registration day and they will let you in. Supposedly they have never turned anyone away that shows up to race. That's the only thing that made me feel good about going ahead and booking all the hotels.
