Hey you, yes you, I see you putting that car away for winter. Stop that, put it in reverse and back it up Terry, we have one more opportunity to race this season! As mentioned at our last event, we are able to run this Sunday the 8th at Dragway 42. This will be another test n' tune style setup with a possible challenge thrown in at the end. Come on out to get one more drive in before winter and have a chance to get some more Summit Racing Equipment Summit Bucks!
