Hot Rod Drag Week 2016 played out in September, and social media and our own content outlets are still buzzing with the cars and the news. In this episode of Roadkill Extra, Drag Week founder David Freiburger describes what the event is all about.

The Swedes came to Hot Rod Drag Week in full force in 2016, and Freiburger shows you the quickest of them all: an Opel Ascona that has run high 7s with a nitrous big-block, and that has won the Stockholm Open six times. The car is also full of Roadkill-style junkyard parts.

The Roadkill Rotsun, a ’71 Datsun 240Z, is famed as the car that never fails to fail. Maybe it’s the curse of the S30 chassis platform, because there was a really radical, 8-second, turbo-LS-powered 240Z at Hot Rod Drag Week 2016 that showed great promise, but then…Roadkill. See it here.

In this Roadkill Extra, David Freiburger gives you a tour of the place that’s deeper than you’ve ever before seen.

Remember the Dodge 360 small-block engine from Roadkill Garage episodes 3 and 4? It was later run on the dyno for Engine Masters episode 14, and then rebuilt, hopped up, and retested for a future Engine Masters.
