Track is open from 8am-1:30pm, when we turn it back over to the KCIR folks so they can run thier normal Saturday points schedule event.
There will be a car show with dash plaques to the first 150 entrants as well as awards to the top 10 vehicles. Although I've seen only a small amount of your rides in person, I've been impressed by all of them--you guys have taken an awesome car to an even higher level, so you should do well there.
The drags are bracket on a .500 (full) tree, which rewards consistency, not speed/power, so everyone has an equal opportunity, and there 'tours will be classed with the Focus (fwd's together)...
Come on out and try and bring home TWO trophies!
Hope to see a great turnout this weekend! Here's the 'official' blurb;
