Redline would like to thank the members of the Chamber Board along with all the various businesses that participated in this years show. The event was a great success and will be held again next year. Also Redline would like to thank Chief Doug Seeley for helping with the parking of the machines. Also a thank you to Amy Seeley for lending orange cones to save the parking spots.

After the show the eight machines along with several others made their way to the track for a test and tune session. The practice session proved to be a positive sign of the year to come. There were more cars at the session then there had ever been in the past. Owner and Promoter Barry Matthews stated that he was amazed at the response of all the different teams that showed up to tune their 2008 rides. There were many familiar teams but there was also many new ones.

This all sets the stage for the season opener this Friday evening. The first points event for 2008 will be held. Gates open at 5 hot laps at 7 and qualifying to begin at 8 p.m. Redline Raceway is located just off Route 514 in Granville Pa.
