Jim Ackland said… - Traci I read your press release good for you, best of luck with it. The history of drag racing is very interesting and has
some colourful people. We have found with our Legend series that the response is way larger then I ever thought.
We are just finishing the first series and already have enough
cars for series 2 and a funny car series is to follow. Good
luck and keep me posted. Jim
