That race was the coolest thing I ever had the chance to attend.
NHRA could and should use that platform for a race.
It was so hot and humid you could could not stand it.
We changed out 2 trans.
I remember seeing 101F in the shade!
I was over taken by heat stroke.
BUT IT WAS STILL THE MOST FUN I EVER HAD DRAG RACING!! AWESOME RACE!!
LETS HAVE ANOTHER!
And,..hay by the way......ALEX D. Thanks for the memory!!!!

My daughter and I attended and it was great. Melissa ran class, and two eliminators. Keep up the good work Alex and Terry.

One of my all time favorite memories while my boys still lived at home. The three of us flew out from Seattle and had a blast. My sons had never seen class racing like that, and I remember the look on my older son's face after about the first 10 pairs ran ( remember Friday morning,,all stick cars came to the lanes) saying, Dad,,this is the baddest! Yeah it was very hot,, but we knew we were seeing something special. I'd never met Alex before or have seen him since,, but I made a point to go to his pit and thank him for putting that race together. I'd love to see it happen again,,I know I'm not alone.

If Alex D. wants to put together another event like this I will do everything I possibly can to be there. I want to see class racing alive and well while the idea is still possible.

I sure hope it happens again. My family and I made the drive from Roseville California to just watch the event. It was the greatest event that I have seen. GeerHead55, remember that is where our two families meet for the first time. This time it will be easier to attend the event because I moved to Illinois from California so I won't have to make the long trip.

Jeff,,,Yeah, that was quite a weekend,,,,,,,, lets keep our fingers crossed it'll happen again. I'm not sure if the tracks have been chosen yet,,let alone secured for any given dates....................Danny Durham
