    Mike is this a race or just a reunion show? Will you get to make some hits?

    Congradulations on having the two cars completed.

    It's a race ... We going to test and tune race or what ever we can do to make as many passes as we can . Should be lots of fun to get away from town and relax with good people
     
  6. Old28, if they run like last year they have sessions where they run 1/8th mile flag starts for awhile then bring out the "hot" cars and exhibition cars. I think the only actual racing will be the Western Fuel Altereds.Then they will cap the night off with a cackle fest in front of the stands.I will try and get some pics and videos for you guys.
