“We can’t thank John Dykes and his family enough for allowing the UARA to come in and oversee their biggest annual event for the third year,” stated UARA’s Ricky Brooks. “I have been working “The Rattler” with John for over 12 years now and it has become one of the biggest Super Late Model events on the annual calendar.”
