What our fans think of the Night Under Fire

 

“This was my 5th Night Under Fire and it was awesome.  How you put on a fantastic show year after year is short of amazing.  My wife and I make it over 2 to 3 times a year.  You all run a great facility.  We love coming to the track and look forward to it every year.  It is truly a fan friendly track.” - Todd Brest

"The fireworks display was beyond compare, it seems to get better each year. There were a lot of young children sitting around me and I had just as much fun watching the smiles on their faces as I did the racing." - Tim Stanislo

"I cannot express how great of an experience we had being there. It was amazing!!! I say that on behalf of us all and we cannot wait to come back again." - Patrice Riedel

"My family had such a great time, they're talking about next year already!  What a great time they had while making memories for a life time." - Lori Carver

It’s the one race we promise to overload all of your senses.

If you do not experience one or more of the following …..

  • Heart beating rapidly, feels like it could propel through your chest from the vibrations
  • Eyes watering from the nitro methane in the air
  • Ears ringing from the roar of the engines
  • Nose burning from the smoky burnouts and fumes
  • Stomach full from eating all the Velvet ice cream, burgers, fries you could stand

Then we need to call 911 immediately…you’ve stopped breathing!

"Ring of Fire" Pyro Show

 

Lots of cheering could be heard throughout the race park, as we kicked off our new “Ring of Fire” fire works show with gas bombs and a spray of pyro along the concrete walls of the drag strip, as the Pledge of Allegiance to this great Nation was recite by school age children.  We expect more of the same reaction and can’t wait to show you Torch’s “Ring of Fire” creation for this year.  All of which should certainly excite the senses!

JOHN FORCE
Not since the days of ‘Big Daddy’ Don Garlits has there been a drag racer like John Force. He is the most provocative, entertaining and talented member of the NHRA drag racing community of all time. His penchant for meeting as many of his millions of fans as humanly possible has made him the most popular Funny Car driver in the history of the sport.
  

Bob Motz, the King of Quake, driving a 1998 W 900 Jet Kenworth will be back to shake up the house and to put on a fiery show like you've never seen before!

Larry “Spiderman” McBride (Top Fuel Motorcycle) is the first man to break the 5 second barrier on TWO wheels.  He currently holds the ¼ mile ET record at 5.74 seconds at 240 mph.  Larry received the “Spiderman” nickname from an NHRA announcer after he witnesses Larry’s unique riding style of ‘crawling’ around to keep the bike in the grove.  

Jill Canuso (Jet Dragster) may be petite, but don’t let her size fool you….she travels the quarter mile in over 300 mph in 5 seconds!  Her competitors call her the “Little Jiant’ but we call her the ‘Queen of Diamonds’.  
 

Driving the “Terminator” jet dragster is none other than Lou Pereira, Canada’s fastest man on four wheels!  He and Ernie Bogue will do their best not to allow Elaine Larsen or Jill Canuso out shine them this evening.

Ernie Bogue is a well respected Jet Dragster pilot who runs over 300 mph in five seconds. Leaving the Pro-Mod ranks six years ago to play with the fire eaters has proven quite successful with one exception.  Living in a house with five girls, his wife and four daughters, the last thing he needs is to be beaten six years in a row by the Queen of Diamonds. Here’s hoping things change. Can you believe the razing he must get when he gets home?
