Friday Night Drags If you've ever dreamed of racing on the same track as NASCAR drivers, this weekly spring/summer series is your chance to do just that. This non-points preview allows anyone with a valid driver's license to take to the eighth-mile stretch of pit road for fast-paced drag racing. Also included in the event is the Show-N-Shine car show.
Fri., May 22. Practice begins at 6:20 p.m.; Show-N-Shine parade begins at 8:15 p.m.; racing begins at 9:09 p.m. $7 for spectators (free for children ages 5 and younger); $20-$30 to participate. Atlanta Motor Speedway, 1500 Highway 19/41, Hampton. 770-946-4211, www.atlantamotorspeedway.com.
Buford Majic vs. Memphis Tornadoes With the Hawks finishing their most successful season in a decade with a playoff berth, men's basketball is still a hot topic. The World Basketball Association begins its season this weekend as the Majic, one of the league's newest teams and one of many in the Atlanta area, takes on the Tornadoes in home play. Buford will be looking to start the season off with a win before taking on the defending WBA champion Decatur Court Kings in a couple of weeks.
Sat., May 23. 7 p.m. $6-$10 (free for children ages 6 and younger). Flowery Branch High School, 4450 Hog Mountain Road, Flowery Branch. 770-904-5081. www.bufordmajic.com
