Cars “Fly” Down the Runway

Cars “fly” down the runway over the weekend.

Saturday, Heaven’s Landing runway featured vehicles from all over drag racing down the ½ mile strip.

Blake Hutchison, the owner of wannaGOFAST, the company that put on the event, says it was a huge success.

“It was excellent!” said Hutchison. “It exceeded all expectations, I think, for everyone. We had 125 cars at the event, it was sold out.”

According to Hutchison, approximately one thousand spectators were at the runway Saturday.

He went on to say that the event brought people to Rabun County from all over.

“It drew from everywhere,” said Hutchison. “South Florida,  Canada, Michigan, of course Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, all that.”

The high speed of the day was 190.9MPH.
