PSCA heads for Vegas

The next to the last event of the 2009 PSCA Street Car Shootout Series is this weekend with the running of the 4th Annual Mickey Thompson Tires Fall Nationals at “The Strip” at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Points battles are extremely close in just about every class and Vegas is just the place to make a bold statement before the finals next month at the Street Car Super Nationals, Nov. 19-22 in Las Vegas.  (Tim Marshall photo) [10/14/2009]
