Octainfest is a celebration of all things that burn gas basicly. There is drags, but there are also truck&tractor pulls,Motorcross,superlite,monster trucks,rockcrawling mud bogging,tough truck and a few others events at the fair grounds. there is also a circle track event. i think its an imca pro something something..dont know anthing about circle track.
Im the comp entrance and stager at the event at the fairgrounds.
The drag events at Top Gun are a official stop of the Lucas Oil racing series. Allot of the big boys do show up.

Anyone know where I can get a used 2 barrel carb for a 390? (anywhere from 1965 - 1978) I've looked at the local junk yards & can't find a thing! I've priced new one's w/ shipping charges & it'll take me almost 4 month's of paychecks to save up for one! (I only work 1-3 days a month)
Any idea's???

Hi all! Here's where you can find more info on Octane Fest 2011. It lists all the events going on. We'll be at Rattlesnake Raceway for the IMCA Ironman Challenge. Not sure what other events we'll make it to.

Had a fun weekend out at Cold Springs for the re-grand opening. Saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones. Got in over 80 miles on the quad in our beautiful back country, only wish the dang wind would stop!
