If you want something fun to do this weekend, Race Wars II; The "Battle In The Desert" is roaring into the El Paso Motorplex!

The Battle in the Desert actually began last night at El Paso Motorplex, 16400 Gateway West, @ exit 42.  Racing continues through Sunday in several different classes.

The Outlaws ... my favorite as far as 4 wheeled vehicles go ... will race an 1/8th of a mile "Texas Shootout" in a winner take all race for a prize of $6k!!  The Western Tech funny car will be racing and The "Street Outlaws" from The Discovery Channel will be there as well!!
