Well 2012 is here. Depending on your opinion of the whack jobs who claim the world is going to end in about 12 months, our time may be limited. This raises a good question. What the heck are you going to do in 2012? We have a full slate of plans this year, the beginnings of which will kick off in a few weeks with the live broadcast of the NHRA pre season nitro testing in Florida.
Some sanctioning bodies and race tracks have actually dropped ticket prices in an effort to get fans and enthusiasts that have been squeezed by the economy into their seats and venues. That’s a good thing for your wallet and hopefully for their bottom line.
What events are you going to hit this year? An NHRA event? NASCAR races? Local circle track and drag meets? Car shows? Mud Bogs? Monster trucks? The possibilities are almost endless with all the junk that happens each year. Hey, if the Mayans were right, the clock is ticking?
What automotive events do plan on attending in 2012?
