CORDOVA, Ill. -- Just a few weeks away is the event that is often imitated but never duplicated, the HangoverFest, January 1st at Cordova Dragway Park, Cordova, Illinois.

This year's event will continue the New Year's Day tradition of Drag Racing with a new twist. One of the most popular online magazines, Dragracingonline.com will sponsor the event. Trophies will be given to those who are out of the ordinary at Cordova on New Years Day. The special awards called DRAGRACINGONLINE.COM "HANGOVERFEST" WACKY AWARDS will be distributed for the following categories:

Worst Appearing Vehicle, Best Appearing Vehicle, Quickest Motorcycle, Quickest Open Bodied Vehicle, Oddest Vehicle (Hearse, Company vehicles, Semi, Bus, Etc) and the Oldest Driver Award.

"Jeff Burk from Drag Racing Online called and said they wanted to be involved in the HangoverFest and do something for the participants" said Track Operator Scott Gardner. Their on-line magazine is awesome and we appreciate that they care about people just having a good time" continued Gardner.

Gates open at 10 AM on Monday, January 1, 2007 for the HangoverFest with racing underway at 11 AM. "We normally race no matter how cold it is" said CDP's Tazz Hines. "Maybe we will get lucky and temperatures will be higher than freezing."
