Northern Super Heavy Shootout - anyone wanna ruffle some feathers?

The norther Super Heavy Shootout is open to cars that are 4000 lbs (with driver) and heavier and is in its 12th year. Typically this event in full of 94-96 Impala SS's and Various Lincolns and Chrysler's and such.... but I think some AMG's would be a fun mix in all of this and would make some people go.

Date was just changed to Saturday 5/19/12 Cecil County Dragway Rising Sun, Maryland

They also do a Southern Super Heavy Shootout each year as well.

With phrases like "World class luxury and performance" I think there should be a few AMG's in attendance!

They actually drag race cars with trailers down there??

I wouldn't line up next to that death trap.

I'd go but they are really strict at that track on safety equipment so i would get kicked out my 2nd pass most likely.

At 4800lbs it would be fun, but I wish it was closer to me.

Just heard yesterday that Cecil was torn up and a brand new track poured in its place.
Should make for a good event!

Nice find on that pic! The NHRA way of doing a tractor pull.
