The 2024 season is officially over after 3 great days of racing at MIR. We had 60 teams compete with us this year and I want to THANK EVERYONE for their support.

Recap of Saturday's Race #6:

We had 29 teams show up to put on one of the best races in the 14-year history of the Warriors!

Adam Graham and his staff had MIR's racing surface ready for some quick times and that is exactly what the Warriors did.

Craig Walls and his awesome '86 Small Block Turbo was #1 qualifier with a record run of 4.04 @ 185.74.

The #8 qualifier was Jake Schroeder in his 2002 BBC Nitrous Camaro's run of 4.34 @ 165.
