The summer heat wave that\u2019s rolling across the\nMidwest is about to make things much hotter in the Chicagoland area as the NMCA\/NMRA\nSuper Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing comes to Route 66 Raceway in Joliet,\nIllinois.

\u201cThis weekend is the biggest street-legal drag race of\nthe year, with nearly 800 cars on the property at Route 66 Raceway. Of course, we\nhave a stellar turnout of the coolest late-model HEMI cars that include [SRT] Demons\nand the new [SRT] Hellcat Redeye. We also have some Jeep\u00ae<\/sub> Trackhawks coming and even\nRam trucks. They\u2019ll all be having fun in the Dodge\/\/Mopar HEMI Shootout. We\ninvite all enthusiasts to enjoy a weekend at the drag strip with this awesome\nprogram from Dodge and Mopar. Fans will also be entertained with 3,500-horsepower drag\ncars and a massive car show. It\u2019s a cool and unique high-performance experience\nfor any enthusiast,\u201d said Rollie Miller, General Manager and Event Director,\nNMCA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During last year\u2019s race at Joliet, veteran racer Bill\nLee Jr. in his 2018 Challenger SRT Demon was the overall winner at the\nDodge\/\/Mopar HEMI Shootout. He ran consistent low ten-second times with an ET average\nof 10.18. There were also many first-time NMCA Dodge\/\/Mopar HEMI Challenge\nparticipants ready to attack the drag strip. One of those participants was John\nRidings in his awesome Plum Crazy Challenger SRT Demon. On a very conservative\ntune-up and leaving the starting line \u201csoft\u201d, Ridings had a three-run average\nof 11.050 seconds and won the 11-Second ET Bracket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s nice about racing in the\nNMCA Dodge\/\/Mopar HEMI Shootout, you don\u2019t need to be the fastest car to win. It\u2019s\nall about consistency and last year, Tim Hagan drove his 392 HEMI engine-powered\nChallenger Scat Pack to take home the 12-Second Bracket honors. With two other vehicles\ncompeting in the same bracket, Hagan had some competition. He was able to run a\n12.36, 12.37 and, finally, a 12.29 pass. This gave Hagan an average of 12.34 seconds\nto win the 12-Second ET Bracket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
