Hot August Nights "Drag Races" is a fun event, jointly sponsored by HAN, Full Throttle Performance & John Ascuaga's Nugget. It is a short course (not a full 1/4 mile) held in the west parking lot at the Nugget. Its' format is one on one match races with full "professional" equipment including "Christmas Tree" starting lights, finish line displays, and full comparative E.T. printouts for each driver. This new format was approved by the HAN Board of Directors approximately 40 days prior to its opening during the 2011, 25th Anniversary event.

For this year's event, a new HAN volunteer committee was formed to organize and help run the venue. The committee has three basic responsibilities: First, to register drivers and to insure the participants meet "tech" checkpoints. Second, to sell entrance wristbands to spectators, monitor entrances, and assure safe transit of the tech check area for our guests. Third, to organize the racers into pairs, transition them from the tech check area to the track, monitor the track for safety, and assist drivers in the transition back to the tech check area.

Based on the response to last year's event, HAN Drags, is one of the most exciting and fun venues to work and we need at least 40 volunteers to assist in running this venues. Attend a Drag Races Committee meeting to sign up and guarantee your spot on the crew and be ready to enjoy your volunteer assignment!
