RANDLEMAN, N.C. (March 22, 2013) — The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) is sponsoring the third annual Petty's Garage Spring Fling, which this year expands to two days and features a public drag racing session on May 24-25 at Piedmont Dragway in Julian, N.C.
The Memorial Day weekend event starts at Piedmont Dragway on May 24 and ends with the traditional car show on May 25 at Petty's Garage in Randleman, the performance speed shop owned by NASCAR racing legend Richard Petty.
The Spring Fling drag racing experience and car show are open to all makes and models. Racing starts at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. For $40, each participant will be able to make several passes on the track and receive two spectator tickets.
The ALI said it will pay $50 cash to the three fastest racers of the day if their ride sports an ALI sticker when they cross the line. The institute will present one competitor with a Petty's Garage gift card and offer other prizes to participants.
Adult spectator admission is $10; children aged 10 and younger are admitted free. Car show admission is $5 for adults and free for children aged 10 and younger. There will be live music, vendors and entertainment during the show, the ALI said.
