It is a older airstrip in Mexico. They have a light and timing booth. Paco said it was really fun out there, no body really talks **** or anything. Everyone is out there to have fun. He had one of the only nitrous cars out there, and he also was one of the only ones (if not the only one) who had race gas. He said its nearly impossible to get down there so everyone runs on motor and pump gas!! They still haul *** with just that!!!

thi is a place called SAN FERNANDO is about an hour from the border, its like if you said your car runs 10.0s you can only brake it by half of sec, up or down from your time and you still in the race, i dialed in at 9.50 had to give people 2 to 4 sec head start and then hit the brakes at the end, i was in between 9.4s and 9.7s **** the purse was paying $1500 dollars NOT PESOS DOLLARS, I went 3 hits testing and 5 qualifying but red lighted on my 6 pass,yall can see it in the video, but it was nothing but fun no **** talking just racing heads up or not people gambles anywere here or in china. JUST THOUGHT I SHOW YA'LL HOW IT IS OVER IN MEXICO ,
