In the vast wilderness of Alaska lies a hidden gem for petrolheads - the Alaska Raceway Park, the lone quarter-mile drag strip in the entire state. Here, amidst stunning views and rugged landscapes, enthusiasts from all corners of Alaska converge to unleash the power of their machines. The team from 1320video embarks on a journey to uncover the fastest door car in Alaska, a blue Mustang with its sights set on shattering track records. Alongside, the iconic Glacier Shaker, a revamped funny car, stands ready to dominate the drag strip with its recent chassis upgrades.
As the team delves deeper into the Alaskan drag racing scene, they encounter a unique sight - a Honda Civic turned hauling rig, a testament to ingenuity and dedication. The owner, Bucky, proudly showcases his creation, a vital companion in his racing pursuits for over 15 years. Meanwhile, a familiar face from a past event surfaces, now fine-tuning a turbocharged ZX14 bike for the unforgiving Alaskan terrain. The team witnesses a spectacle of diverse vehicles, from an LS Turbo Cadillac pickup to a snowmobile outfitted with roller blades, tearing down the drag strip in a display of raw power and innovation.
Amidst the roaring engines and screeching tires, a heart-stopping moment unfolds as a car collides with the wall, sending shockwaves through the crowd. Thankfully, the driver emerges unscathed, a testament to the safety measures in place. Undeterred by the incident, the team gears up for the upcoming no prep race, a first for the track and a thrilling challenge for the racers. With anticipation building and adrenaline coursing through their veins, the team bids farewell, eager to witness the drama and excitement that awaits them on the Alaskan drag strip.
