The Meyer sisters are back for more IHRA drag racing this weekend, July 26–27. Following their impressive performance at the season-opening IHRA Nitro Outlaw Series race in Columbus, Megan and Rachel Meyer are set to take on Round 2 at Milan Dragway, an iconic drag strip that has been a part of Detroit’s car culture since 1964.
The two will once again pilot their A/Fuel dragsters in side-by-side qualifying on Friday with Q1 scheduled for 3:00 PM and Q2 at 7:00 PM. Eliminations begin Saturday at 1:30 PM, with the top 8 teams in Top Alcohol Dragster competing down the quarter-mile strip.
Last race in Columbus, Megan made the quickest and fastest pass of the entire event in Q1 with a 5.23 at 274 mph, and both sisters won their first-round matchups on race day, but tricky conditions after a heavy rain storm led to tire smoke in round two for both. Now, the goal is clear: build on that momentum and push for a deeper run in Milan.
“From talking to a lot of other teams who have been there, they mentioned how nice of a track it is,” said Rachel Meyer. “So I’m excited to check it out for the first time and hopefully get our cars back into the 5.30s range or better. We’ve got a great team and a great tune-up, it’s just about reading the track and putting it all together.”
“This is my first time racing at Milan too,” said Megan Meyer. “I loved getting back into the car in Columbus and now that I’ve got that race under my belt again, I’m ready to go rounds. We’re using what we learned last time to dial everything in and hopefully get both cars in the finals!”
The sisters will continue to represent GUNK, Maxima Racing Oils, and NGK Spark Plugs throughout the series, and fans can expect more live on-track content, high-speed sibling rivalry, and all the chaos the outlaw nitro scene promises by tuning into Speed Sport each day.
