Normally the “Night of Fire” at eMax Drag Racing Series events is closed with a fire works display. Not so in Epping, as the IHRA has decided to try something new. A laser light show was used as a preamble to Bob Motz’s jet truck and was greeted by a sound ovation from the fans..

The capacity crowd stayed glued into their seats as a 40-foot screen was unfurled from a lift at the starting line. After roughly five minutes of set-up time the show began with coordinated music and lasers. It was different and definitely provoked a positive reception from the New England Dragway faithful.
