Dragsters, gear heads, street legal speeders enjoy weekend of races at Kingdon Drags

Posted: Sunday, September 9, 2012 11:58 am | Updated: 8:22 am, Tue Sep 11, 2012.

The seventh annual Return to Kingdon drag races were a major draw for gear heads and speed demons alike. Hundreds of spectators and racers turned out for the weekend of racing, car shows and an automotive swap meet presented by Arnaiz Companies and Chase Chevrolet.

It’s a packed scene of semi-organized chaos. Bands of onlookers made camp in RV’s, trucks and shady canopies along the track to watch souped up cars trucks, and even one motorcycle battle it out on the drag strip.
