Drag Races at Houston? Is this true

Is there any truth to the rumor that last year there was a Drag race after the nationals ? If there is is it going to be held again this year and if so how do i sign my team up.

Re: Drag Races at Houston? Is this true

i donr know about houston, but in Orlando, the drag races were held outside of the arena tents on the astroturf. supposedly all you needed to is just show up...we did...and pulled more than 2000 pounds across that turf...needless to say we won the torque comp. but we deffinatly lost the speed comp. i hope theres room for it...

Re: Drag Races at Houston? Is this true

Last year after finals teams were outside between Reliant and the Astrodome racing thier robots, while pulling the robot cart and a driver with the controls tehtered up. I believe the winner was team 271, but not quite sure.
