After 45 years of operation, Atlanta Dragway has held its final NHRA event. In this video, we take in the sights and sounds of the final NHRA race and remember Georgia's home of quarter-mile drag racing. Earlier in 2021, it was announced that the land had been sold and a housing development would be built there.
From Nitro Funny Cars and Top Fuel Dragsters, to grudge races and even Hot Rod Drag Week (which is where we recorded the drone vision), Atlanta Dragway has served the community well. It was the host track for the NHRA Southern Nationals and had a reputation for speed in the cooler winter months.
While it was not the most modern of venues, there was plenty of soul at this track. The stands were not so large that they couldn't be filled, and the track saw many sell out events - including at its final NHRA race.
