MCR NHRA National Open S/SS Combo Preview

[BZenzen]

The final MCR race for racers to punch their ticket to the 2024 Race of Champions is on the horizon.

The NHRA Division 5 National Open S/SS combo presented by Patterson Elite at Tri State Raceway in Earlville Iowa is shaping up to be a great weekend of racing. Where else can you get two NHRA grade points, while racing for a guaranteed payout of $2k both days!

Additionally, Saturday following the final qualifying session, we will be drawing the winner of the PA2 weather station provided by Altronics ($450 value), along with certificates from Edelbrock Performance.

Check out our Facebook page for all of the details, and stay tuned to the Div 5 and TSR pages for any event updates.
