EVENT: Sport Compact Only Nights Special Event

DATE/TIME: Saturday, January 24, 7:00 PM to Midnight

LOCATION: Firebird International Raceway, Chandler, AZ

TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 19 -- Tempe-based DragRacing.com presents its biggest Sport Compact Only Night ever -- a night of roaring engines, squealing tires, huge clouds of billowing smoke, today's hottest music, and the constant smell of burning rubber. Thousands of fans and hundreds of street racers will converge on Firebird Raceway on Saturday night, January 24, to see and be seen, to race and be raced.

Local owners of modified domestic and import sport compact street cars (such as Hondas, Acuras, Nissans, Subarus, etc.) will have the opportunity to show off their tricked-out engines and extreme paint jobs while competing for cash and prizes. The police will also be on hand-to race, not to chase! Street racers will relish the thrill of racing against police cars, complete with lights flashing and sirens wailing. Non-racing activities include a sexy model search, a "Fear Factor" competition, an extreme car show, a live radio remote courtesy of 103.9 The Edge, a "dB Drag" loudest stereo competition, and much more.
