friends at high speeds without fear of legal repercussions or danger to others. Gates open at
5:00pm with runs from 5:30pm to 10:30pm.

Wednesday, September 1, 2004, Slick Tire Test and Tune: Slick Tire Test and Tune includes
cars, motorcycles and Junior Dragsters with slick tires or D.O.T. slicks doing just what the event

upcoming money races! Gates open at 5:00pm with runs from 5:30pm to 10:30pm.

Friday, September 3, 2004, E.T. (Elapsed Time) Bracket Racing Regular Points Finals: The
