Instead, they’ll be putting pedal to the metal in tricked-out Hondas and Mitsubishis within the confines of SpeedWorld Dragstrip during the latest installment of Arizona Street Racers Association’s monthly Friday Night L.O.U.D.R. event (short for “Lights Out Underground Drag Racing”).

Fridays, 6 p.m.-midnight, 2009
