Welcome to the Dirt Drag Racing Association
Hot temperatures and hot races at the Mud Drags
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 - David W. Ryan
Nearly 400 racers and fans braved the blistering heat last Saturday to take in the Dirt Drag Racing Associations (DDRA) sanctioned Arm Drop Mud Drags at the Louisiana Off Road Race Park in Jonesville. Veterans of the race park had everything under control with lots of tents, industrial fans, barbeque pits, generators and even several make shift mist blowers.
The mist blowers were bags of ice hanging over fans and produce a wonderfully cool mist. One fan pulled the blow fans from a one-ton air conditioner and AC/DC them through his truck. While there were endless attempts to stay cool the action on the track was fast and hot.
The track was so fast, announcer David McMillin throw down the challenge to any racer that got stuck, they would have to belly flop into the water and mud track. Two such drivers, whose names we didn’t get, took the challenge and lost the challenge – twice. Luckily they got stuck in the same spot each time and there was plenty of water to cushion the belly the flopping.
