The Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt winged 410 sprint cars return to action with a twin-bill weekend. Saturday night will see the methanol monsters back at Wayne County Speedway near Orrville, Ohio for the third time this season. The next evening, the winged wonders will make their second appearance of the season at Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, Pennsylvania.
