Drag Strip Finally Opens to Rave Reviews.


The Drag Strip opened last night and was a big hit. Even though we did not have the tree up and running we had some die hard fans and cars make it out to the track. It really was a fun night and everyone had a great time. We had everything on the track tonight. My son ran his Four for Fun car and couldn't stop smiling all night, then he took out the 300 with Mom and his sisters. I was out racing the Legend - man those are fast. I was King for a little while until I got spanked by Paul Luciano in his sweet Camaro. I raced Russell Drummond -Dodge to Dodge Pick up, although he was weighted down, as he was in the fuel truck. He wants a re match when he gets back out with his new Dodge Pick up. We had Jason Baker in his Jeep, smoking a cigarette as he went by. We had a Motorcycle, a Hummer, Aj Dickie in his Four for Fun car, Shawn Kerr came out in his Camaro and his friend in a built 72 Monte Carlo. Scotty ran the clean up truck and the Golf Cart down the strip, Dano ran the tow Truck. Matt Ackland and a few of the drift guys were down as well. It was one of those nights were everyone had a laugh or two and just had a good old time. We will have the timing system up for next week, as it is in now, and we are getting the software download tonight. We will also see some new fans coming out on Wednesday to see the stock car show. Make sure you come out next Friday Night and have a good time. Grand stands are not up yet so bring your lawn chair, or better yet bring a car to take down the strip. Remember the Drag Strip is all about fun and it is run what you brung. No pressure, just Fun. I haven't smiled that much in a longtime. Glass is half full again. Thanks go out to a number of people who helped us make it happen. The people who need to be thanked the most would be Jason Hodson for his help on the electrical and of course our good friends Scotty Boyen and Al Dickie  who were there helping me most of the time. A big thank you goes to Shawn Kerr for purchasing the Title Rights for the Drag Strip, and Paul Luciano for his sponsorship as well.

See you next Friday Night at the Drags.
