Street Racing Gone Legal.
Drag Races presented by AMSOIL

Wednesday, August 7 – Saturday, August 10

6pm – midnight, Gates Open at 5:30pm

It’s where the rubber meets the road… literally. Street legal racing down a 1/16 stretch of road, you’ll feel the heat, smell the rubber and hear the roar at this adrenaline-pumping event. Racers compete side-by-side with full professional equipment including “Christmas Tree” starting lights, finish line displays and full comparative printouts for each driver.

Don’t have a 1979 or older vehicle? No problem. The first two days are open to ALL MAKES AND MODELS – registered for Hot August Nights or not.
