Anybody who doubted the NMRA's drawing power was awakened at last year's Bradenton season-opener. The baddest Ford racers in the country converged at the legendary Bradenton Motorsports Park to open the '02 season, and 2003 will start off the same way. Racers from cold and snowy parts of the country are looking forward to the warm weather and college girls in bikini tops that always come with the Bradenton race in March. We have two words for you-Spring Break! Bradenton also has a long history in Ford drag racing, and the NMRA's '02 event was the biggest of them all. The newly renovated Bradenton facility will play host to the cream of the crop of Ford drag racers for a weekend of wheelstanding, record-breaking performances, and packed grandstands at the NMRA's first event of the '03 season. And don't forget the car show, swap meet, and famous burnout contest!
