I forget on which site I read this, but I guess there are 3-4 days of drag races the last week in April. Does anyone know if this actually brings in a crowd? Should we expect the island to be busier, including the restaurants?

>>> "the last week in April."
---- Starts the slow season so a few races will not affect the tourist areas.

The island does not get busier for it. No worries!

Are these actual drag races like NHRA 1/4mile? or an "Island style" spin to a race?

Fish On,

I'm not sure, but this is some of the information that I've seen:

www.istc.org/sisp/index.htm?fx=event.detail&event_id=159868.

There's an e-mail address at this link, so you can ask for more information.

Doing a quick google it looks like some actual drag racing. Thats when we will be there, hopefully the Rui is a more than a few miles away from the race track...

About 12 miles as the crow flies...noise nor traffic from the track will not affect your trip whatsoever.

That should be far enough away.

Thanks
