What a great night at Hyannis Marina!
We fired up the Follow A Dream Funny Car and had an incredible time with everyone who came out to join us. A huge thank you to the teams at Trader Ed's and Tugboats, Hyannis Marina for their hospitality and support. It was awesome to see so many friends, fans, and families enjoying the evening.
Nothing beats the sound of a Funny Car by the waterfront on a beautiful Cape Cod night.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We loved sharing the experience with you!
