    Looks like you guys down south are going to have another great weekend of drag racing and museum viewing. Sometimes it sucks more than others living up here in the frozen north. Oh well, our 3 days of summer are just around the corner, providing it doesn't decide to rain.:(

    Does this mean the Garlits spring show has been moved to not conflict with Billet proof?
     
  11. Two days, in the fall, In FL. This could be the greatest thing since the interweb...

    No, Billetproof got too big to stay at Don's place... We will be back at the fairgrounds at Gainesville.

    the Fall Billetproof event is the drag race. Don is putting on the show in Oct. on his own, its not a Billetproof event... but all of us here at the Super Secret Underground Billetproof Bunker and World HQ STRONGLY encourage you to participate in Don's show on Sat. and then come to the Billetproof Drag Races on Sunday.

    that being said there might be something in the works with Don for the March 2011 Billetproof ;)

    keep yer ears open. We are going to have a good time next year.

    not yet, we wait until Sept. when the NHRA sets its schedule so we do not conflict with the races in Gainesville.

    2011 dates will be announced shortly thereafter.

    I'm installing a Briggs & Stratton into my Coupe so I can afford to drive it, so my E.T.'s may be a bit slower than last year :)
