Ugly, weird, cheap, and slow cars are encouraged but not required. This event is laid-back fun for cars, trucks, and people of all types. If you’ve never drag raced before, this is your chance! It’s a judgement-free zone. Open “car show” parking where the least car-showy cars ever are welcome. Open test and tune on the drag strip, where it’s totally ok if it’s your first time.
