If you came and you loved the event be sure to check out our calendar for more events, including one of our favourites in a few weeks the Kenda Tires 660 Drag Radial Series that show cases a slightly different style of racing than the weekend, with it being a radial event - including some of the fastest and baddest radial cars in the world throwing down some wild 3 second passes, picking up the wheels and sending it over the 1/8 mile!
