WORLD'S GREATEST DRAG RACE 10

摘要

With military bases closed to the public to protect against potential foreign agents (of molecular size), the usual procedure for World's Greatest Drag Race had to be scrapped. Gone was any option for using those velvet-smooth, 3-mile military runways. Thus, our three-year stint at Vandenberg Air Force Base came to a close. But where to go instead? Our original site for WGDR-the decommissioned Marine Corps Air Station El Toro-has become so degraded over time that we didn't dare to take a field of supercars on high-speed runs. And most private airfields within reach of Los Angeles weren't long enough to handle what has gone from a crazy idea to the expected: a half-mile run to determine the ultimate winner. (Note for the uninitiated: It takes a lot of real estate to slow down a two-ton supercar doing 170-plus mph.)
