RASR brings the best performance magazines in the U.S. together with NMRA and NMCA sponsors to participate in Tremec True Street, a class designed for "true" street cars that are licensed, insured and capable of making a 10-20 mile police escorted cruise. The class will be contested on the Saturday of the event (July 9th) and each racer will run three back-to-back passes for an overall average e.t. Awards and prizes will be given away to the overall fastest competitor, runner up, and the closest averages to 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, and 15-second e.t. There are nine different winners in True Street with cars that range from mild to wild! Performance product prizes will also be given away to the runner-ups in each category. And there is a special bonus--Nitto Tire will sponsor a quick 16 heads-up race on Sunday consisting of the fastest 16 racers from Saturday's True Street class.
