Welcome/Bienvenidos!                                 

Thanks to everyone who came out and joined in the celebration on Saturday  at Chick-Fil-A on  Hillsborough Rd. in Durham, NC.  It was a great success for all! 

Our goal is to be winners in each of our race classes for Local Bracket and Professional Drag Racing events.   We also look forward to matriculating into more challenging classes of Drag Racing and to maintain a positive winning attitude.  

In reaching our goal, our mission is  to make the opportunity available to increase youth awareness in the sport of Drag Racing and offer educational opportunities which we promote throughout the year.  We offer tutoring in English, Math, and Science courses.  We also host youth sleepovers at the Gillespie Farm and Car Shows in which we donate school supplies.  During race season, children and their families are offered the opportunity to travel with us to local races and other events.
