PRO World Street Car Finals - Memphis October 4-5-6, 2002

PRO-EDELBROCK WORLD STREET CAR FINALS

October 4-5-6, 2002
Memphis Motorpsorts Park
Memphis, TN

It all boils down to this. Street Car drag racing returns to Memphis in a big way with the first annual PRO World Finals. Memphis was home many years ago to the first-ever Worlds Fastest Street Car race, and after an absence of several years many of the fans and stars of that long ago race will return to Memphis under the banner of the new leader in Street Car drag racing. When the smoke clears from the last burnout, new champions will rise and stars will be made. This is where legends are born. 

The track itself is located just outside of Memphis and is fairly easy to get to. This is a top-notch NHRA facility, and hosts a major NHRA event every fall. Expect this to be a great hooking track, and look for extreme horsepower as the weather will most definitely be ideal for a weekend of racing. Expect temperatures in the seventies on this October weekend. 

At night Memphis has plenty to do. This is home of the blues and you can find it on pretty much every street in town, but Beale Street is the place to be. If you're a fan of ribs and barbeque, Memphis is your new favorite town! There's also plenty of dance clubs and bars to keep your pit crew out partying longer than they should be. If that's not enough this area is also home to several casinos, just don't gamble away your race winnings.
