This time, Chubby will be Amanda's special guest.

This special 30th anniversary celebration of DTA will make one lucky fan especially happy: DTA will be giving away a Corolla from Hampton Toyota. Click here to find out how you can enter the drawing.

The gates at Parc International open at 5:30 p.m. The music begins at 6. DTA is a free event and concession sales help keep it that way so please leave the ice chests at home.
