Region: Canada (1526 Posts) Topic Info SLAC RACE - CALGARY On 8/26/2006 Slob-air wrote in from Canada  (70.72.nnn.nnn) The SLAC race went off today (and tonight). INSANE!! Absolutely off the hook! The final race actually went down in the dark—at speeds beyond 50 MPH!!! One of the best events I've ever attended—these cats really made a footprint in what looks to be an annual race.     Rate post 245536 !
