MANA — Drag racing really brings the kid out of you, but this past weekend at Kaua‘i Raceway Park, it was a family affair that stole the show, as Wayne Costa and son, Sheldon Costa both took home victories in the Garden Island Racing Association’s 31st Annual Independence Day drag races. Sheldon, though was able to one-up his dad with another win on the second race day.
