We will offer a 40+ class and an Open E Buggy class this year as a extra option- tradiotional format with 2 rounds of quals and the main will run in between the semis and the finals to serve as a hlftime show and give the finalist time to wrench. 40+ will marshal the finals so please keep that in mind as you wont be able to pit.regular $75 fee applies to 40+ we will offer 1-3rd awards for all 3 divisions.
Each entry $75 CASH ONLY USD paid June 27th or 28th (upon arrival)
More Details about the Race:
We have Notch Johnson as our Race Director. He has been announcing for 20+ years and does a great job at setting the positive vibe with good color commentary to the races. He is our local announcer here and we wouldn't have anyone else calling our races.
We have a time schedule established that also allows for a 1 hour break in between quals and the Mains and we will provide an included lunch and drinks.
We have ordered some awesome CUP trophies for this event the top 3 will get cups. The Event already has 25 racers signed up so the remaining spots will be offered here. You must sign up with a transponder # that is accurate to your car. 1234567 will not be accepted- please do your part to make the program run smooth. You have to submit a transponder number in order to complete registration on this site.
No Entries will be taken the day of unless of course we dont fill the spots offered here. We will make an official post when sign ups are closed and that will be followed by a post on the 10th of May of the heat sheets.
