STREET FIGHTS TAKES A STEP BACK IN TIME ON THURSDAY NIGHT

Those still playing Pac-Man on Atari, trying to solve the Rubik’s Cube or watching reruns of Miami Vice will want to head to Bristol Dragway’s Street Fights on Thursday, April 17 for Sonic 80’s Night.

 

Special promotions highlight the night, including $1 off admission to anyone dressed in 80’s gear.  Prices at the concession stand will roll back to the 80’s too with hot dogs and Pepsi products priced at only $1.

 

Bristol Dragway staff members also will search the pits and grandstands looking to reward the person whose outfit best personifies the 80’s. 

 

The Charter Bandits will stage an encore performance that evening, with the ultimate showdown to prove which car is the fastest in Thunder Valley.

 

On Saturday, April 19, Billy Jack’s Tattoo Night comes to Bristol Dragway.  Those  showing their tattoo at the gate will receive $1 off  admission.  A judged tattoo contest will look for the coolest tattoos in several categories, while an on-site tattoo parlor will give anyone looking for a new tattoo the opportunity to find just the right style.

 

Spectators are encouraged to stop by Billy Jack’s Tattoos to register for a chance to win a free tattoo.

 

The Hurley USA King of the Strip True Street Challenge presented by Mac Tools also returns for its third appearance of the season. 

 

Jon Phillips currently leads the nine-second class, while Jonathan Williams holds down the lead in the 11-second class. Alan Hurley, Phillip Carpenter and Chris Johnson respectively lead the 12-14 second classes.

 

Gates open at 5 p.m. on Thursday, with racing beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday’s action kicks off when the gates open at noon.  Cars hit the strip at 1 p.m.  On both race days, spectator admission is $5, while racer admission is only $10.  King of the Strip entry is $20 on Saturday.  For $25, drivers can compete in both King of the Strip and Street Fights.
