Flashlight drags attract car fanatics
The event ran all day and featured “grudge races” in which a participant could race whomever they wanted.
Dan Snyder was one of the drivers who came to the event to race. Snyder brought with him his 2015 Ford Mustang G7, which has approximately 1000 horsepower. The car was originally a manual, but was altered after the transmission broke.
Therefore he is constantly building and working on cars and trucks.
Carl Follmer, who has participated in the event five times now, was also present at the races Sunday.
“Those Mustang guys are pretty serious, I’m probably not going to beat too many of them today,” said Follmer. “We’re just here to have a good time.”
“We’ve had a bad season this year; it’s got rained out a few times, but we’ve got a beautiful day today,” Follmer said.
However, there has never been an accident at Flashlight Drags. The crew and the drivers take safety very seriously and the rules are made very clear to the drivers prior to each race.
