Cordova Dragway Park will host the “Oldest Continuous Drag Race in the World” on August 24-26, 2007. The World Series presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts is one of a very few major independent events remaining.

Headlining in the professional classes in Top Fuel will be Chris “The Golden Greek” Karamesines from Chicago, Illinois. His competition will be Mike Strasburg in the B & J Transmission entry from Utah.

In Nitro Funny Car, the CSK sponsored cars of Del Worsham and Jeff Arend will race against Illinois racer Tim Wilkerson and Iowa’s only Nitro Funny Car, Jack Wyatt. Worsham comes in after posting a number one qualifying effort at the NHRA National Event in PA.
