Just another Friday night test and tune? Hardly! Over 80 vehicles turned out for some great runs. Headlining the event was David Workman testing his blown nostalgia front-engined dragster and Chris Hutchison in the Lucas Oil blown Fiat altered making check-out runs in preparation for the October Southern Nostalgia Shootout. Workman was testing a new motor and new front end geometry to hopefully provide better handling. Hutchison made two check out squirts in his new altered. The crowd greatly enjoyed the show.

Friday afternoon, Jody Graham had his IHRA top dragster in testing mode with his new 14-71 blower. Jody ran a best of 6.666 at 200.95. Kurt Damron was also out testing his super pro dragster. Best time for the evening session was run by the Morgan Motorsports camaro with a stout 7.48 at 178mph. This 68 Camaro looks as good as it runs with its candy red paing and shost flames.

Don't miss the Southern Nostalgia Shootout, featuring Big Daddy Don Garlits, the last weekend in October.
