With nine editions of Hot Rod Magazine’s Drag Week in the books and fuel prices climbing ever-higher as the spring and summer months approach, one might think that the annual parade of horsepower and badassery would be gradually running its course and descending from its peak years, but as the enrollment for this year’s running of Drag Week proved, interest in the event  stronger than ever.

Registration for Drag Week 2014 opened on Saturday, with a limited number of 260 slots available. And like a Justin Bieber concert (who actually goes to those shows, anyway?), the event completely — and incredibly — sold out in just eight minutes time. In fact, not only did it sell out, but a snafu in the system allowed 351 racers to sign up for the event, and not wishing to turn anyone away, every racer who managed to get an entry into the system will be be a part of the festivities, making for what’s likely to be largest contingent of Drag Week racers in its history.

This year, Drag Week will call the Osage Casino Tulsa Raceway Park home, as the Oklahoma facility serves as the departure and return point for the five-day trip that will visit Heartland Park Topeka in Kansas, Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, Okla, and the S.R.C.A. Dragstrip in Great Bend, Kan. from Monday, September 8th to Friday, September 12th, with a special 10th anniversary Drag Week heads-up event to be contested in Tulsa on the following day to clos things out.

If you weren’t one of the lucky few many to gain entry to this year’s Drag Week, officials will be registering alternates in the event that pre-registered competitors cannot attend. From there, walk-up entries will only be accepted once all of the alternates have been exhausted.
