Cool Breeze: Teams Hit the Strip in Minnesota
August 11, 2006
Schumacher, Force, Anderson and Ellis are Friday night provisional low qualifiers in Brainerd.
The race is really on: with only a few events left in the NHRA season and many classes pretty tight in the points spread, it’s time for some pedal to hit some metal.
