WOW, all I can say here is WOW!!  We had just about 100 cars here, the NRHA fed many many people and the pork chops on-a-stick were delicious.  The sun stayed out all day and fans were able to also see HYPERACTIVE - the dragster, Abby King and her Soap Box Derby cars, a few antique tractors, and really get a chance to visit with some super cool folks.  If that wasn;t enough, the MNChallengers rumbled in and filled up a chunk of the parking lot with thier Mopar Muscle Cars.  Todd Wilson brought his SRT8 that is set up for full-on racing and he plans to tour trakcs this winter (getting away form the cold - go Todd) and MOPAR MAN was in abslute heaven.
