That is a SAD sight...I remember back in about 97-98 going to an allnight
clocks off show there on a Friday. From midnight til 6AM...total insanity
Seing pics of Memphis makes me cry; I went to the fastest street car shoot
outs from 93-96...even ran my 79 Bu in limited street in 96...good times

more good news
GIR will have to be open and have racing events held this year in order to be on the NHRA schedule for next season. (according to the editor of Mustang 5.0 magazine who was at mustang muscle last night ). there is already people working at the track to make this happen!
