Since this event is going to be in your hometown here is the flyer I am currently using. Some of the larger sponsors like Tire Rack are not on this flyer. Last race I did at Bradenton I had so many friends there I had to open the back gate since I was out of tickets. Steve Grizzle and some friends showed up and we all had a great evening of racing and then of course the Bikini contest. I have run a 10.40 on street tires so I have my eyes on the $2000 Street Tire Shootout prize.
