I can't wait to see the races and pits. I also like checking out the comp cams, GM performance part, Stange, and Simpson trailers. I want to get a good look at the Strange S60 for 4th gens.

Gone on Friday for the past 3-4 years, doing it again this year. And besides, who wants to work a full week when you can make it a 3 day weekend?? Friday night Nitro qualifying can't be beat

Agreed! I think 3 years ago there were a couple nasty crashes too. Dont remember what year it was but it ran until around 2am? if i recall correctly. Forecast is looking good for Friday, gonna be a hot one like it always is.
