i went when i was around 16 and loved it, want my mate to go to experiance a full drag day.. seeing the top fuel drag car do the runs was immense.. just wondering whether to go on the friday or weekend.

I'll be there working on a turbo pro mod

Twin 91mm turbos on a 522cu in hemi.

The main event is either very very good or very very wet.

Either way it's a mental weekend for dragracing.

sweet the exact info i need guys.. i though i may do the saturday to sunday however its the weekend before nats day which means theres a good chance ill be having jobs to do on the r5 so i best just go for the day, thinking the sunday will probably be best bet.

I went before years ago and really enjoyed it.. would like to take the mrs to experiance solid drag racing.. nothing like seeing a top fuel launch off the line

Plus I needed a rest from the European tour due to moneys.

If I could see into the furture, I see Mr Robinson building a new car, I know the curent one is for sale or will be, and you going back to the team in a year or two with a brain full of info on how to run a turbo pro mod.
