October 2018 – The smell of burning rubber mixed with the chill of Halloween air at the Spooktacular Thrill Show Spectator Drags, where the costumes were wild, the cars were louder, and the competition was downright spooky fast.
Held under the lights at Seekonk Speedway, this wasn’t just a race—it was a full-on automotive showdown with a Halloween twist. Ordinary drivers brought their daily rides, monster builds, and even a few “undead” machines to battle it out in one-on-one shootouts. No pit crews. No sponsors. Just guts, gas, and grit.
Costumed drivers floored it through the turns—one guy dressed as a banana smoked a Camaro, while a unicorn in a Honda Civic almost flipped on Turn 2 (don’t worry, they were fine). The crowd went wild every time headlights roared down the straightaway, especially during those photo finishes that had everyone on their feet.
But the real magic? That mix of community and chaos—families bundled up, kids in Halloween gear, engines howling in the background. It was spooky. It was thrilling. It was everything a Spooktacular should be.
When the final burnout cleared and the last trophy was handed out, one thing was clear: Spectator Drags + Halloween = pure, tire-shredding joy.
