It\u2019s hard to believe that it\u2019s been 5 years since we started a memorial race to honor a racer who\u2019s made some of the biggest impacts in drag racing.<\/p>\n

Mike Smith never met a stranger but most importantly, he gave the shirt off his back to help others. He made the sport of drag racing great and he is truly missed.<\/p>\n

In honor of Mike\u2019s 5th year memorial race, we are working on some cool things to make this year\u2019s race special. HINT! Gold Cigars to the winners and some other things in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Mark your calendars and join me, Timmy, and the racing community as we honor the great Mike Smith. We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n
