I was at this event in 2002, and had a great time. This is put on by the North American Truck Club (www.454ss.com). It is open to all types of Sport Trucks. There will be 1/8th & 1/4 mile racing, as well as a big dinner the evening before.
The TRUCKS coverage of this event will be kinda cool. They are to debut the two project trucks (454SS & 1st Gen Lightning) at this event.
There are a few forums where you can keep up to date of the event.
