Aside from an S10, Vette, Cutlass and couple F-Bodies it looked like an NMRA event. Fast cars for sure though..

Too many mustangs but still fun to watch. The big station wagon running 160+ in the 1/8 looked like a real sleeper except for the dual chutes on the back.

It looked really cold. Everyone is either wearing a coat or a hoodie.

Hopefully mine will still be fast enough in October to go run 6.50. I might go depending on what they decide on index classes .
