    Folks, ya gotta come out and get the drag racing season, kicked off in style. Those that have been here every year, can fill you in, if you've missed it up until now. Come once, and we can easily count on you coming back for more.

    Friday night will be 'Grudge-Night' and Pit Party. Saturday will be packed with Pre-'1973' cars, motorcycles, trucks, and some MAJOR suprises, blasting down the track, shooting for 1st Place. Format will be 'Heads-Up' racing, classes being determined by car/motor size/power adders. Bracket racing for the '64-'72 cars, and purpose built cars.

    Really? Those are 6" pistons, 15:1 compression ratio, and it will run on pump gas - at least that's what the salesman told me!;)

    Ok Doc, I promise not to look while you clean! Maybe I'll only cover one eye:) Hey I could use Grits eyepatch! Ha!

    I should have that little motor done next week - waiting on the heads. Going to start painting suspension this weekend. Weeee!

    guess what "pussies" ," me included" your supposed to have a puke tank of some sort and sometimes they will check for antifreeze! i didn't get checked last year? i think at the big races they are more strict. green tire grease is hard to drive on and hard to clean up!
