Hangoverfest at Cordova

Although the weather was not very nice with cold and windy conditions the racing was hot at the 11th Annual HangoverFest on Sunday, January 1, 2012 at Cordova Dragway Park. Nearly 150 entries were taken for racing (including a motorcycle and a convertible Mustang with the top down) as racing had to be limited to 1/8 mile as winds caused havoc on the timing system.

In addition several hundred hard core fans welcomed 2012 attending the HangoverFest Event. Thankfully the Interstate Batteries Cafe was very warm as we had available homemade food specials as well. HangoverFest was the opening of the new Zoomies Pub that become a popular spot to keep warm and enjoy stories with friends.

Overall the 2012 kick-off event will go down as one of the more memorable races with lots of unique entries and fun people.
