The Kingman Route 66 Street Drags are the largest legal street races in the world!
We will be closing down Route 66 in the middle of Kingman, AZ for over a week! We will hold the 1/8 mile drag race right down the middle of Ol’ 66! This is as real of a “street race” as you can have! The difference is there will be all the safety equipment in place that you would find at a “purpose built” track. Plus, it’s legal! We have a City permit to conduct this annual event. But don’t kid yourself, it is still a street race! And if you want to win this race, you're going to have to be the person who can get down this street the fastest! There will be three days of drag racing starting on Friday, May 17th. https://explorekingman.com/event-route-66-street-drags-05-2024
