Next weekend is PRP's Halloween themed race, Ghosts, Goblins, and Gearheads. It is a lot of fun, good racing, good people, good times. I look forward to it every year. People are pretty creative in the pit decorating, and costume contest, and the kids get a pretty good haul trick or treating in the pits (racing stops).
