FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - 200m Showdown, Paras vs. Cohl!

TONIGHT - It's been almost a year in the making. One of the most anticipated Friday Night Lights races in RAW history will take place tonight at Yellow Jacket Stadium on the east side when RAW run leader Paras Shah goes head to head with Dr. Cohl Brazil over 200 meters. Paras, the true distance runner, versus Cohl, the former football player turned trail runner/paddle extraordinaire....there's really no telling what will happen. What we do know is that there has been tons of sh*t talking and a lot of speculation.Race Preview:Up to this point the predictions on tonight's champ have been split. Paras comfortably ran a sub-30 200m while taunting Cohl before the RAW mile time trial two weeks ago. Little has been seen from Cohl over the distance up to this point, but he brings some 400m experience from his high school days. Some are speculating that the cold, windy conditions could be a challenge for the smaller frame of Paras, but Cohl's abundance of hair blowing in the wind could level out the playing field.All the talk and analysis really means nothing....in less than 9 hours these two men will toe the line and we will have our answer. See you tonight!**NOTE: This race is only 200 meters....if you show up late, you'll probably miss the most exciting 30 seconds of the year. AFTER THE WORKOUT8 Track bar - 2805 Manor Rd, Austin, TX 78722
