Friday Night Nitro and Pro qualifying, specialty exhibitions by Wheel standers and the Jet Truck coupled with the choreography of light (or lack thereof), pyrotechnics, and energetic music makes the Night of Fire an unforgettable experience. “The Night of Fire was like a KISS concert at 300MPH,” stated IHRA President Aaron Polburn. The entertainment quality of the show appeals to both adults and children alike; the Night of Fire boasts record crowds annually at National event tracks.

Cervus/JCB have been an exceptional partner in the Cars RV Rocky Mountain Nationals, they contribute tremendous participation on the Midway for our fans as well as provide added on-track entertainment annually. For anyone who’s been to the Night of Fire in the last 2 years knows the Cervus/JCB Wheelstanding Back Hoe is the highlight of the show.

Our Condolences to the Polack Family

On March 16th Gerald Polack, a good personal friend and advocate of racing passed away. Gerald was one of the original 10 leading men who took charge and rescued Capital Raceway from receivership in 1998. In the years to follow he was to become one of the most profound people in our lives. He was truly one of the most honorable and fun loving people we have ever had the experience of meeting. It was an honor to be considered a friend of Gerald. Gerald will be dearly missed by all. Our love and thoughts go sincerely to his wife MaryAnn, daughter Lana, granddaughter Addison, as well as the entire Polack family.
