And their off….

Mother Nature cut us at O’Reilly Raceway Park a break and we were able to hold our first on track activity for 2009 on Thursday night. This was a test session for our slick tire racers and they were all excited to get to the track and start the season.

The drag crew was hard at work prior to the event making sure the racers had the best track conditions for this early in the season. These guys and ladies put in many hours of hard work and preparation to make sure these events go as smoothly as possible.





Dalton Deffenbaugh, one of our Junior dragsters, was the first car to go down the track this season with the help from his mom and dad.








The first two door cars of the year were piloted by Carl Gilbert in the left lane and Jeff Sparkman in the right.
