Well race fans, it’s another of my infamous weekday TeaZer posts for an upcoming series of features I hope y’all will enjoy! Rather than a whole new category of articles, this is a rather a “sub-classification” of Lorelei. And so, I give you the opening salvo of Roxy Calder’s series of articles under the heading of…
About DC Confidential
Drag City Confidential-frequently shorthanded to “DC Confidential“- is our column excavating the hidden history of Wardglenn and its notorious racetrack. Written by Roxy Calder, with on-the-ground reconnaissance by Baden Worrell and Jason Carter, it’s part investigative reporting, part oral history, and part rumor-chasing.
Where Baden brings the fandom, Jason brings the skepticism, and Roxy digs for the facts. Together, they track down the legends that haunt Drag City — whether it’s forgotten racers, outlaw crews, or cult bands that left behind more whispers than records.
Some stories are true, some are half-true, and some are probably lies. But that’s Wardglenn for you!
Coming This Weekend: The Legend of The Sinisters
Our first case file takes us back to the mid-1980s and a band that seemed stitched into the fabric of Drag City itself: The Sinisters. Half the town thought they were Satanists, the other half thought they were clowns — but for a few years, they were everywhere, from the bleachers to the campground stages..and their few, loyal fans have never forgotten them!
With only a handful of records to their name and an unreleased album that still haunts collectors, their story is tangled up with rumor, tragedy, and maybe even a touch of the occult. Did one of them die in Chicago? Did another disappear overseas? And could one still be walking the paddock at Drag City today, hiding in plain sight?
This is Roxy’s attempt to untangle the myth, with Baden and Jason lending their voices along the way.
I remember Baden Worrell, one of the best investigators out there! This sounds really cool and I’m definitely “teased”!
