Default Heads Up Standing 1/2 Mile Airstrip Event Oct. 22nd!!

Guys we have people driving from all over the Southeast for this including several from South Florida. Sean at Titan Motorsports brought 2 of his customers Supra's last time from Central FL. It's really not that far of a drive to go all out against some awesome cars on a 4000ft long runway. This gives you the opportunity to hit highway roll speeds without the worries of getting a ticket or endangering someone else's life on the street! Cherplex we are actively pursuing other locations but for now Carrabelle is where all our events will be held. No matter what we will always do an event in Carrabelle. The city has been extremely supportive of this event and it's great to have the whole town behind us!!
