And BOOM. The race is this weekend, my how time flies. It should be interesting to see what cars show up for inaugural event... GM, Ford, Chrysler...

I'm expecting LPE to bring to some cool cars, hopefully Norm's mid 8 second all-motor Viper shows up.

For Outlaw Drag Radial I am expecting some of the LS diehards to show up and do battle down the 1320... Ray Litz, Mark Carlyle, Mike Brown and Mark Koehler are all planning to race.

So check your schedules and do what ya gotta do to sneak out and race this weekend. Air looks great and records will be set!
