**I got this in an e-mail yesterday:** _Flash Light Drags Event Street racing without the jail time!_ NEWS FLASH! WE’RE BACK! That’s right, we’re back at Waynesburg Airport, Greene County The Flashlight Drags® (as seen in Hot Rod Magazine, Feb 2008) will make a return to the Waynesburg Airport, Greene County, PA during the summer of 2010. Commissioners Dave Coder, Archie Trader, and Chairman Pam Snyder encountered a constant stream of phone calls, e-mails, and in-person requests from their constituents to bring the Flashlight Drags back to the Airport. In response to the community feedback, the Commissioners pressed the issue with PennDOT. After nearly a year of discussion, PennDOT has reversed its position on airport closures. “We pushed for this because it’s what our residents wanted,” said Chairman Pam Snyder. The Flashlight Drags offers a safe alternative to street racing. The concept is a throwback to the early days of drag racing, when things were uncomplicated; two cars line up for a race and someone blazes a flashlight to signal the start. The format is simple: approximately 1/8 mile race, heads-up format, no brackets, and no classes. Just for fun. That means racers can race against anyone they want, as often as they want. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, just get back in line and do it again. Some racers have made as many as twenty runs during one event. Race your buddy, race your brother, sister, or mother; moms race dads, dads race kids. Whether you’re a racer or a spectator, it’s a family event. The Flashlight Drags got its start in 2002, although the races didn’t come to Greene County until three years ago when Parks and Recreation Director, Jake Blaker, contacted Altered Gas Performance Events, LLC and started a dialogue that resulted in the very popular races at the Airport. Then in 2009, PennDot shut down all non-aeronautical events at airports. But now, after a year’s absence, and thanks to the Commissioners’ persistence, the Flashlight Drags will return. Only $25 to Race and $5 per car for Spectators Frequently check the website for dates and times! Look on the web for maps. We look forward to seeing you. Remember it’s, “Street racing without the jail time!” [www.FlashLightDrags.com](http://www.FlashLightDrags.com) **Waynesburg is on-board, hopefully Zelie will come around as well!!** ---

You act like you were one of the 8 second guys? I’d like to go, but don’t have anything to race ☹ Maybe I’ll get off my ass & put a clutch in the truck.
