It was more like a toaster oven as mother nature turned the thermometer up several notches at this year’s Pre-Nightfire Warm Up. The event marked the final “round point” race in the Boise Muffler Gold Cup Series before the Summit E.T. Finals at Mission over Labor Day weekend.

The event also was the fourth race in the four-race Rich’s Auto Care Division 6 Land of the Leaders Challenge.

All of us in the New family want to pass along our admiration and appreciation to the racers, their families, crew members, fans and especially every member of the Firebird track staff who really worked their tails off during the one day `n night event.
