The rain couldn’t keep the Big Island Auto Club from getting its April Points Meet in this past week. Rain forced several interruptions but did not wash out the event.
Also held this weekend was the Hawai`i Motorhead Magazine’s 4th Annual Bug-In. Over thirty cars were on display at the Hilo Drag Strip while racing action was taking place.
The BIAC’s next sanctioned event will be the Memorial Day Drags, taking place May 25 and 26 at the Hilo Drag Strip.
