It's nothing professional or organized. But every now and then some friends and I will meet up at the shop. With at least 8 unopened cars/trucks to race. We set up a 40 foot track. With a super 6 starting gate and finish line. Only run 2 lanes. We bet a dollar a car, so if you run 4 cars, you put in 4 dollars. Of course we have coolers full of beer, and a stereo blaring. Always a great time! Also gives me a chance to find fast cars, that I end up customizing for a mail in race!
