If you enjoy watching cars that hike up the front end up when they launch then this is the event you need to see. The Stock and Super Stock classes in NHRA bring together cars that fit the category. Not much can be done to the car to change the appearance from the way it came off the assembly line. Under those guidelines what you can do to them is your own discretion, but most all will launch the front end off the ground at the starting line.

Combine another class with race cars that take extremely good conditions to get the front tire up, but go to the 60′ mark just as quick? The Jr. Dragster Lightning class has some pretty quick cars that will put you back in the seat for that distance. The next generation of future tire hikers starts here. By the number of entries in Jr. Dragster Lightning the upcoming driver’s prepairing for the next step could be very interesting.
