What an excellent weekend for the race !! The crowd was great, the cars were fast, and “a good time was had by all” would be an understatement. Scott White led the qualifying in AA/Supercharged.
The AA/Supercharged contingent of drivers combined with the Nostalgia Top Eliminator drivers and the Pro Nostalgia drivers to present thrilling side-by-side race action.
