Last weekend, I was in middle-of-nowhere Coalinga, California for an exciting half-mile drag racing event on the small local airstrip. I didn’t quite know what to expect before I left, but I knew it would be an interesting event, and some very high speeds would be reached. The weather at home in Reno was cooling…
