Roy Hill among the ‘Woodward Dream Cruise’ crowd
Here is a note attached to a discarded pair of Detroit Red Wing solar eclipse sunglasses found sealed in a Planters peanut jar on the porch of the Phlegm Building: Drag racing legend and driving school instructor Roy Hill was in attendance at this past weekend’s Woodward Dream Cruise along with his Ford Cobra Mustang stable and Jr. Dragster. Always the promoter of drag racing, Hill entertained a large group of youths throughout the day and invited them along with their families to attend the Chevrolet Performance NHRA U.S. Nationals Labor Day weekend where he will be running one of his Roy Hill Drag Racing School Ford Mustangs.

‘Hot Rod Drag Week’ travels the Midwest in September
Competitors will include Jeff Lutz (shown), who won the 2016 HOT ROD Drag Week with his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Mod, as well as 2015 champion Tom Bailey.
The 13th annual HOT ROD Drag Week is back to determine the title of Fastest Street Car in America at the Sept. 10-15 competition.
Competitors will be put to a grueling test over five days of drag racing and upward of 1,000 miles covered in the same car with the same engine, all to determine who will earn the title Fastest Street Car in America. An impressive display of vehicles will also be open at each stop.
“HOT ROD Drag Week powered by Dodge and brought to you by Gear Vendors Overdrive is an unmatched validation of man and machine,” said Douglas Glad, Content Director for TEN’s Aftermarket Performance Group. “Both on the track and off, racers push themselves and their cars to the literal breaking point. Long hours, 1,000-plus street miles, and on-track torture testing are all part of the equation for ultimate victory and fastest street car in America bragging rights.”
While registration has closed, participants wishing to be added to a wait list can email dragweek@hotrod.com with the subject line, “HRDW Wait List.” Open spots will be given in order of wait list emails received.
