I contacted Phil H. (owner of Wilkesboro Dragway) yesterday and scheduled our race for this year pending approval at the banquet. He is pleased to have us back and is willing to let us run one race on Friday June 19th. camp at the track if we want and run our second race on Saturday June 20th. This is the first time we have been able to run on Friday. This is the same weekend we have been running here for the last few years.
There have been many upgrades to Wilkesboro Dragway since we ran last year, including resurfacing the track, additional room for racer parking updated timing equipment, with many more to come including longer shutdown area and return road access. Many racers are returning to race here that have been running at Farmington and Bristol and Charlotte areas. Another plus is plenty of VHT is being used even on test and tune nights. The word is Wilkesboro now has the best 60' times in western NC.

I am planning on it but I may have to be back home Sunday due to some work coverage issues! So I may have to drive all night! :lol: :lol:

PS. Maybe he will run us first like Mason Dixon does! :lol:
