Fantastic Funny Car Foursome to Pound the Pavement at Pacific Raceways

From Goodguys:

The Northwest’s fastest nitro burning Funny Cars are booked and ready to rock Pacific Raceways Friday night, July 26th as Goodguys present the 26th annual Friday Nite Vintage Drags.

Cover your ears and hold onto your seats as these 5,000 horsepower monsters pound the pavement old school style!

Everyone knows that Pacific Raceways was once home to the best Funny Cars shows in the land in the 1970s. (64 Funny Cars ring a bell?) This year, Goodguys will tap into that rich heritage with a spectacular four-car Funny Car extravaganza! 

Headlining the exciting program will be the nitro-burning fuel coupes of the Tacoma’s Bucky Austin (’78 Firebird) Canadians Tim Boychuk (’77 Firebird) and Twig Zeigler (’71 Plymouth) and Maple Valley’s Mark “Mr Explosive” Sanders (’70 Mustang). All four cars not only pound the ground, all run 5.80 elapsed times at 250mph speeds every time they head down track! 

Get there early and talk to the stars, get their autograph and take pictures right in the pits! It’s an old school evening of Funny Car racing just like those wild 1970s shows!

A full complement of sportsman racing will also be featured including 5 eliminator classes and other surprises throughout the evening! You just never know what’s going to happen on a Friday night at Pacific Raceways!

Event gates open early this year @ 10am. With over 400 racing entries expected, it promises to be an all-afternoon, all-evening affair! Only 1972 & earlier drag cars are allowed in competition!
