Racing is more than just going around in circles. Sometimes, it's cool to go straight.

That's why we've launched a new NHRA drag racing blog: Straight Line Today. It's being run by veteran motorsports journalist Susan Wade, who is well-respected and well-connected within the NHRA world.

This is our first foray into the world outside the two big American racing series (NASCAR and IndyCar). We're hopeful that the drag racing audience – which is very much underserved – will respond to this site and build a great community there.

Check out Straight Line Today when you have a chance.
