There is nothing else like it.

I always tell people, "Even if you don't like racing this is something everyone should see at least once."

I migrated-away from Taxylvania last-year the week before the Keystones, one of the few I've missed:
I came-close to winning a few times at that track, one of the best in the country, but repeatedly failed.


Please post pictures in CFOT when you go!

My fiancee has 2 brothers, who are into stock-car/dirt-track racing, and she couldn't care-less about that stuff:
after watching the loud-cars on TV one-time, she asked, "SO..... when are WE going?" , and she's been a funny-car junkie since '02!

I live 3 miles from Maple Grove i'll be there. I like the stock and super stock class. Door cars with 4 speeds puttin em on the back bumper. Pro stock is cool also. Usually T/F and F/C aren't very good races cause they blow the tires off em in the first 60 ft. and one car can shut er down at the eighth and win handily. Besides they blow up every round. Pipe

My favorite race ever was when they blew the tires off the line.

Watch.
