Drag Racing at Top Gun
After the technical difficulties that canceled the opening weekend two weeks ago, Top Gun Drag Strip is ready for racing this weekend. After spending two days, one on the spectator sound system and one on the timing system install, then testing both systems for hours to make sure everything works just right, everything is ready for the May 19-21 weekend. Top Gun wishes to thank Bob Brockmeir of Compulink for walking them through the initial diagnostic, for immediately completing the repairs, and for getting it back to them in time to assure there were no further problems. They also want to extend a big thank you to Jeff Foster for driving up this past Thursday and spending the weekend getting the sound system up and running and helping with the installation of the computer due to the unexpected timing system failure that happened the week before. Friday night is the first $5 Friday.
