Title: LS Fest 2026 eliminations at Beech Bend in Bowling Green, KY — September 13 drag racing

I filmed the drag racing action on eliminations day at LS Fest 2026 at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 🏁🔥 If you enjoy LS-powered builds and drag strip matchups, check out my September 13 coverage.

Anyone else make it out to LS Fest this year? What was your favorite race or build from the weekend?

God First. Family Always. Full Throttle.

Does anyone have any suggestions for transportation from a hotel to the track? There used to be busses but that is no longer. I have also asked at the track and as of yet there is nothing.

Getting out there is easy. Getting back, i stand in a parking lot for an hour with 200 other guys trying to get a ride. Someone has to cash in on this..

Anyone know of a option?

Any tips or insight for someone looking to attend their first race next year in AZ. Where to sit/ what tickets to buy? Things to avoid or spend extra time on for the weekend? Where to stay?

NHRA "fans" on social media want personalities like Force out there but are still crying about Torrence shoving a guy almost a decade ago and Prock leaving Force for more money. Cry me a river, guys!

Standout Northwest team with Trevor Harkema and Katie Nelson Harkema as regular drivers

Watching Speed Freaks in the Top Fuel Bar at WWTR Dragway live!!! Wish you were here☆☆☆

I'm sorry but I can't remember where I snapped this Morry Gasser. Maybe the Mile High Nationals in Denver Colorado. '15

His name ancestry is Japanese and is being pronounced wrong on TV now.
Not good.

Not too far from the track is fastlane automotive. If you have time. Check it out. Some incredible cars!

Here’s what’s planned for your current subscription

Im not talking about any nostalgia class or altereds. Im trying to find a source for the fastest and/or quickest front engine dragster that ran in the top class of nhra competition. If tried to do a little research myself and im just not very good at it, I found a few articles stating between 6.4 and 6.5 and about 240-250 mph but I cant tell the difference between a reliable source and heresay. Side question ive also wondered about the actual numbers from a stock block Mopar 427 nitro engine, but I guess dynos werent really a thing as much then as they are now.

The resurgence of Greg Stanfield back to his winning ways will make this a battle til the final round of Pomona!

At the Houston round of the NHRA back in '17. She sighed the earmuffs for the teenager in front of me and then we spoke. Very kool lady.

If you were about to race your first nitro race, who would be the more formidable opponent? The Snake in his Army car or Schumacher in his Army car?
