METALLICA frontman
James Hetfield and
NHRA Funny Car driver
Ron Capps were at the Valley Isle Timing Association's season finals drag races Saturday evening (November 17) at Maui Raceway Park in Maui, Hawaii.
Capps tweeted afterwards: "Was great having friend
James out to Maui Raceway last night, we got to race each other n had a blast"

Hetfield, a car and cycle enthusiast, created an invitation-only vehicle show held during the band's
Orion Music + More festival June 23 and June 24 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He said the idea was conceived "so everybody can get a taste of the automobile passion and obsession that I have. The idea is for a
METALLICA fan to come in and experience stuff they wouldn't normally see if they wouldn't normally go to a car show."
