    trying to find a track in KY, IN, OH or TN that runs a Friday night program :mad: that is not a T&T :rolleyes:
    I have found a couple....one I do not like racing at and the others, according to their website, leave me unsure if its a bracket program or a "special" T&T.
    I sent out a couple e-mails asking for clarification.....we shall see.

    *have race car, will travel* :)

    John, I'm not into drag racing other than watching but there are a few near me you can check out. Norwalk Raceway, Dragway 42 and Thompson Dragstrip. And heck if you can't find a place just come up and we'll have some parking lot drags behind the house. Then of course a bon-fire and a few Icehouses !!!!:D

    42 is T&T on Friday
    Thompson is having a National Street car shootout
    Norwalk is Kuhmo Street Warriorz

    :D Done checked.

    Although the parking lot drags sound like fun :yup:

    Probably just go to US60....don't really want too, but its better than a blank.

    Muncie Dragway does a Friday Nite program once a month. It is mainly done for "tuners"...but just about everything shows up. They also have DJ's playing music, bikini girls dropping their arms to start the races, etc. There is more they do....I am just not sure of the rest.

    Kil-kare in Xenia runs a T & T on Thursdays, Round track Friday and
    the drags on Saturdays. I don't know of any Friday nite programs.
    Not much help, but I thought I'd toss it out there.
