A drag racer flies down the track at Lost Creek Raceway on Thursday morning, one of 132 vehicles from around the country – actually two countries, as well as 29 different states – for the annual Big Sky Race Week, of which Lost Creek is a leg in the series that also includes Billings, Malta and Lewistown. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties they weren't able to conduct formal drag races at Lost Creek on Thursday, said Austin Walsh, Big Sky Race Week owner/promoter; however, Walsh said they would remain at the track that day to help get it ready for the start of Lost Creek's racing season, which is tomorrow – Saturday, June 21. Lost Creek Raceway is located at 595 Galen Rd. in Anaconda. For more information, visit https://lostcreek-raceway.com. Leader photo: James S. Rosien
