According to Richard Schroeder, editor and publisher of Street Legal, this is the only event in the nation to specifically pit domestic vs. import sport compact cars. "There is always a lot of talk at sport compact events that American cars just can’t compete, and this event is designed to show that domestic cars really can run head-to-head with the imports," he says.

"With so much of the sport compact movement focused on the import side, this event is a great showcase for our own terrific American cars, and Toyo Tires is very pleased to be a part of that," says Earl Knoper, executive vice president, marketing, Toyo Tires (USA). "This sponsorship is just another example of our commitment to the performance market."

More than $5,000 in cash and prizes is up for grabs during the one-day event. Aside from the drag racing showdown, the day will include Super Pro, Pro, Street and bike classes, as well as a burnout contest. Under the sponsorship agreement, Toyo will receive extensive event signage, booth space on the manufacturer’s midway and inclusion on all television, radio, print and on-site advertising for the series.
