This Week, for our Built for Drag and Drive Segment, we talk to Ryan Hargett, owner of the Fastest Ford Powered car in Drag and Drive History!
Then we talk to Terry McMillen, 3 Time Top Fuel Champion and new track owner of Bunker Hill Dragstrip, about the newest event to the 2023 drag and drive calendar – Terry McMillen’s Nostalgia Nights.
After that we’ll jump into other events and Project Management as well!
Project Management – How do you plan for your build for an event? Do you use a piece of scrap cardboard, a white board, the hood of your car or just in your head…..? Take the next few days and make a real checklist with a goal event you want to attend and then make a plan to get there. Matt Happel of Sloppy Mechanics always recommends an hour a day…..
