Midwest Drags 2024 Winners and Record Setters
Midwest Drags 2024 is in the books! Congratulations to all competitors!
One of the big class wins was Randy Seward in the Street Race Small Block Power Adder Class - his second win of the season! He battled with Barry Cook all week, swapping leads a few times! He finished with an 8.533. His foxbody Mustang with a turbo small block Ford is a long time drag and drive staple. His first drag and drive appearance was Hot Rod Drag Week in 2012! Barry finished the week with an 8.544, just 0.011 behind Randy!
Graham Hayes for Ironman! He finished with a 7.71 average in the gray Chevy II he raced at Sick Week earlier this year. His best pass of the week was on Day Two, with a 7.292 at 189 MPH!
Adam Buntley reset the Manual H Pattern Class Record with his winning 9.065 Average! The turbo Terminator setup in the 01 Mustang looks great and runs exceptionally well! His best pass of the week came on Day Four at 8.850. He took the win by just 0.049 over CJ Roberts’ 9.114 average in his turbo Foxbody Mustang.
Index class racing continues to prove the determination of the racers!
