SV-Live-Radial-Fest-Fall-Rotator-600x400

The radial tire schedule in 2016 continues to produce some of the best racing around, with close races and records falling all over the country. In just over a month the best racers in the small-tire world will be rolling through the gates at Huntsville Dragway for one of the biggest races of the year: Radial Fest- The Gauntlet 2016. SpeedVideo will be on location to provide the live broadcast of the event from the first pair down the track to the championship rounds, thanks to presenting sponsor Edelbrock.

Radial Fest has seen some of the quickest passes ever over the years in its headlining class of Radial vs The World. At the spring edition of Radial Fest, Daniel Pharris smashed the track record for the class, running a blistering 3.90 at 210 mph. That record could fall again with outlaw racing standouts Mark Woodruff, Kevin Mullins, Shawn Ayers, and others set to make an appearance at Radial Fest.

If that wasn’t enough, Discovery Channel’s “Street Outlaws” stars “Daddy Dave” Comstock and Derek Travis will be at the event doing some old school match racing against each other, and anybody else who wants to try their luck against them.
