Following the car show, weather permitting, for the cars that were a part of the car show we will be having a test and tune session at the Ridge.

Then it is a week of tweaking for the drivers as they make the final adjustments on their machines before the 50th waving of the green at the Ridge on May 6th. The day will start with the car show located in the field between Bradford Mini Mart/NAPA FMS Auto Parts from 10:00 to 1:00.
