2018 Great Lakes Funny Car Nationals Results and Photos

Keystone Raceway outside of Pittsburgh was the site of the 11th Annual Good Vibrations Funny Car Nationals on July 14th. Over 25 supercharged alcohol and injected nostalgia funny cars associated with the Great Lakes Nostalgia Funny Car Circuit put on a great “Chicago Style” event. For the second year in a row, the event also served as the “Draglist Nationals," a get together of approximately 15 members of the Draglist Super Crew from across the country who share a common love of drag racing. Event highlight photos by Dave Oakes.
