Saturday gates open at 10 am. Test and Tune 11am-4 pm $25 to test, all the runs you can make. 10 per crew/spectator. Best Package Shootout at approximately 3:30 pm. Five dollar entry. One run, heads-up time trial, Best Package (excluding redlights and breakouts) wins the purse.

Sunday, gates open at 10 am. Time trials (two runs) noon to 3 pm, then eliminations. $100 entry, paid to Mike Carr (gate fee for crew/spectator $10).

Race is open to all NHRA and IHRA-legal Stock and Super Stock cars. runner-up. Due to the typical large car counts (forty or more every year), first round is run random pairing, with a bye run pulled. With the track Index or quickerset-up, it can clog up the lanes and pit road trying to pair 40+ cars. Ladder for round two, based on reaction time (closest to dial-in for tie-breaker). Round money starts with $50 for second round LOSER, and doubles each round after. Example payout for a forty car field:

-Second round loser = $50
-Third round loser = $100
-quarter-finals = $200
-semi-finals = $400
-runner-up $700
-winner $1500

I personally have been doing this race since 1996. Most of the racers seem to enjoy it, as do I. A laid-back, fun, end of the year race to run for some good money one more time before the snow flies.

B.D.

just my take i belived that every race you should have to dail you car No heads-up Class runs. All cars must dial their car!

Hi Jeff. If there is a S/SS Gamblers race, it would be around 3 pm Saturday. Hoping to get eight cars to compete, to make it worth the winners effort. Still undecided on entry fee, I guess we could take a vote among those competing. If it were an eight car field with a $50 entry, it would pay 200 win, 100 r/u and 50 each for the semis. Eight cars with a $20 entry would pay 80 win, 40 r/u and 20 each for the semis. I was leaning towards the $20, since it's $100 to enter the Big Race on Sunday, not sure how many would want to ante up $150 in entries. If enough people want to go ahead and do the Gamblers Race on Saturday, we will, and you all can decide whether to pay $20 or $50. If there isn't enough interest in a Saturday combo, we can just stick to the normal Best Package/"dial for dollars" one run event, five dollar entry, best package (excluding redlights and breakouts) wins the purse, which would be held around 3:30. So far, I have the four on here that are in for a Saturday gamblers race, anyone else? Sunday is the normal schedule, time trials starting at noon, two runs. Eliminations at 3pm. S/SS should be fairly early in the rotation, first or second class out.

Forecast looks pretty good. Mostly sunny both days, 63/38 on Saturday, 57/36 Sunday. A little cool, but should be fast.

The Saturday chassis certification is full. There are still spots open for Sunday's Chasss Certification at 9 am. Contact the track to reserve a spot. Dragway1@aol.com
