I was kind of hoping one of our older members from the west coast might have been there to see it live. I'm from so far east that we never got any match race action; I remember seeing the odd jet-car show, a wheel stander and a couple of visiting Funny Cars but nothing exciting with doors. Wait; I did see Rod Saboury's 6-second street legal Corvette a couple of times. Didn't have much luck hooking it up on our less than stellar track.

I've seen a Civic Jet Car, Half Track

Match Race Between 2 6 Second Pro Mods of Jay and the Cranberry Connection, and Trevor Lowe and the Lowe Down Racing Crew.

I've even seen the video of the first 5 Second Pass in BC History on September 1992 in Ashcroft BC

or a match race between a Jet Car and Funny Car. the Race tracks around here try to attract the crowds in any way they can.
