Bristol Dragway Street Fights

Street Fights Returns To Bristol Dragway With
Borla Back To School Bash Saturday, Aug. 30

Although school is back in session, it does not mean the fun at Bristol Dragway’s Street Fights has to come to an end. On Saturday, Aug. 30, the Borla Back to School Bash will give racers one more chance to hit the track before hitting the books.

Shattered Bliss, a local band played on 99.3 ZRock, will lay down some tracks next to the track, while any student wearing their college or high school’s apparel can register to win a 2009 Street Fights Season Pass.

Borla, the world-famous exhaust manufacturer, is relocating to Johnson City, and plans to kick off their time in the Tri-Cities with this exciting event.

“Borla has a proud heritage in auto racing,” said Chris Kaufmann, Borla Public Relations Manager. “Even after 30 years, we learn significantly from our racing endeavors around the world, be that Baja, LeMans or Bristol Dragway. If a weld will hold up in Brandon Bernstein’s Top Fuel dragster, then we know it will both perform and survive on the street.

“Borla is extremely excited about our new partnership with Bristol. We are thrilled to have the famed Thunder Valley only a few minutes from our beautiful new Borla facility in Johnson City.”
