Take a souped up Corvette engine, drop it into a Camaro with a roll
cage, and turn it loose with 18 to 20 others on a wet quarter-mile dirt
track. It can add a whole new flavor to your Saturday nights!
It's definitely *not* your TV brand "follow-the-leader-single-file"
auto racing. This is the "in-your-face", up close, door-handle-to-door-handle,
2 and 3 wide in the turns, pedal-to-the-metal charge to the checkered flag
type of adrenalin pumping activity that your mother warned you to stay
away from.
