NHRA announced the addition of Tri-State Dragway to its roster of
member tracks beginning with the 2007 racing season.  The facility is

Hamilton, Ohio, on Hwy 128.  It will be part of NHRA’s North Central
division.

Top Fuel drivers Doug Foley and Bobby Lagana Jr. confirmed an appearance on the popular TV show Pinks next summer featuring their respective Top
Fuel dragsters. On the TV show, racers put up their
pink slips of their vehicles in a best-of-five drag race series. Just like the old days, the winner
takes ownership of the other person's car. Foley and Lagana
plan to do that with their Top Fuel dragsters.

The Flowmaster American Drag Racing League unveiled its plans for the 2007
season today at the annual  Performance Racing Industry Trade Show,
announcing a 10-event racing  schedule, the addition of a third
points-earning class, and an  unprecedented level of television coverage for
the series.

The ADRL, entering its third full season as the nation's
premier eighth-mile drag racing sanctioning body, will hold 10 events in 
2007, up from seven last season. In addition to continuing a number  of
established national events such as the season-opening SpeedTech  Winter
Drags and the Eastern Race Fuels DRAGSTOCK event - the ADRL's  biggest and
oldest race - the ADRL will make its first appearance at  a number of
venues, including Norwalk, Ohio, and Radford, Va.

The series will also
introduce the Pro 10.5 class in 2007, increasing its points-earning classes
from two to three. The new class will join  the ADRL's established classes
in Pro Extreme and Pro Nitrous, giving  the series a presence throughout the
entire spectrum of doorslammer  racing.

South Georgia Motorsports Park located in Valdosta, Ga., turned into a major testing venue for many of the leading professional drag racers. In fact, earlier this season the 8th annual Eastern Spring Test Nationals presented by Torco's CompetitionPlus.com netted over 100 entries.

This week, Top Fuel driver Bob Vandergriff brought his UPS dragster down earlier in the week for testing and made some laps.

introduced to automobile enthusiast Khalil Toorani by longtime customer Ali
Aryan. Toorani bought Musi's legendary Pro Street 1969 Camaro, a car that Ali
drives in Bahrain.
