Michael.

I'll be there with my Paxton Prowler. The Vette guys are getting excited. There will be five or more supercharged Z06s this time...

We'll have 12 to 15 Drag race cars from members of our Mopar & Vette clubs. Wheel standing Hemi's... We'll have a little fun and benefit a local charity at the same time...

OK gang... looks like the Vettes are going unchallenged this weekend! Laddie's events have historically draw great numbers... ususally in the 200+ range! I know of many 'prepared' Vettes coming out as well as a lot of old Mopar Muscle!

I know of 1 local 9.5-sec Viper coming out. Have heard rumors that a few Houston Vipers may be coming over? Come on down and show them how it's done!

 

[Laddie Roussel]

Only four Vipers showed up.

Frank ran four 9.6s with street Viper. Mike K.'s Prowler ran 11:655 ET for new World's Fastest Prowler and he smoked a Viper in one round...

We had around 1,000 people out for the day. Between the Gate Proceeds (minus track rental), Relay for Life Team food stands & raffle for custom air brushed helmet, we were able to donate over $4,100 to the local charity & American Cancer Society....

We had terrific time and track day turned out to be super success...
