RADIAL VS. THE DOOR-SLAMMER WORLD
The sport of drag racing has seen it all, from the wild times of the 1960s as the sport found its way in front of a national audience to today’s booming popularity across the world. In its 60-plus-year history, there have been dynamic drivers along with charismatic and flamboyant people coming and going as they pursue glory with incredible hot rods.
The latest racing class that carries on the tradition is Radial vs. The World, and its biggest audience comes from the three events hosted by Duck X Productions: Lights Out, Sweet 16, and No Mercy, all of which are eighth-mile, drag-radial races held at South Georgia Motorsports Park. HOT ROD has covered these events by showcasing the mix of personalities and rowdy race cars that make the class a sensation that is here to stay. Like the nitro-fueled Top Fuel golden era of the 1960s and the explosion of Pro Modified racing in the 1990s, Radial vs. The World is a hard-hitting category on all fronts. It also blurs the line between which genre of door-slammer reigns supreme: Radial vs. The World or Pro Modified.
