Default drag racing at 50th celebration?

I noticed they have drag racing on the agenda at the 50th celebration. The racing is at Beech Bend on Sunday. Do you think there will be a big turnout? I'm trying to decide if I'm going to stick around on Sunday or head home.

Thanks,
Kerry

I doubt it they only had 32 car race at the Forum Cruise in.
I can see it being more than that.

True, but they are expecting well over 7000 participants for the 50th, I would hope that at least 100 would race.

Lets face it most people that own Corvettes are waxers not racers.

When I have been there have been like 100 - 150 cars there but these are events where event has less than 1000. I would expect much more than that.
