This event continues to grow and develop, and the involvement of Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning will help to make this be our best one yet.”

We are excited to put our name on what has become one of the hottest nights of drag racing in the Chicagoland area, allowing us to remind our customers and race fans to save the hot nights for the drag strip and not for their homes.”
