2006 26 cars
2007 30 cars
2008 28 cars

Been hovering 20 cars ever since then. If we got 30+ it would be a record, and it would be a big step up in support over the last 10 years!

Oh, and if Westcott will agree to dust off the Warfish and come out once more, I'll pay his NHRA membership dues for 2019.

Money means nothing to Westcott. He has dedicated the remainder of his life to the issue of gay rights.

Re: Dodge Hemi Challenge
 

Looks like a few sponsors are wanting to get involved. The first up is Rick Gorski and Fire Core wires. $250.00 CASH payable at the track for a .000 RT in elinimations. Now that's a tough one but some more stuff to follow. Looks like winner & runner up plus low qualifier coming soon.

Re: Dodge Hemi Challenge
 

Up to 30 Hemi cars now, it's going to be a good show!
