Here is some of the things happening:
Well it's about time! The first race of the 2014 season is just about two weeks away. On Saturday June 7th at historic Pacemaker Dragway in Mt.Vernon, OH we will kick off the season. As usual we will run our two qualifier sessions and then got to first round.
We need to thank our sponsors. BASF Refinish takes care of all of the Iron Man trophies and the plaques for the runner ups. They have been consistent supporters since the inception of our series. Also supporting from the start is Mid Ohio Paving. Jim Nichols, owner, has been the provider of the Dial in Dollars for the racer that hits or comes closest to his or her dial in on the FIRST qualifier session. The professionals from Parsons & Myers Racing Engines, that provide power for many of the countries Stock and Super Stock racers, rewards the racer that has the best wining package in the first round of eliminations with $100 cash. Put the best package together and Bruce Parsons and Hot Rod Myers will pay.
Jeg's High performance has always supported us through Nitro Joe Jackson with gift certificates for winners and runner ups as well as tire covers, log books and more from the mail order king.
Others that help are PK Race N Rods,(Pat and Andy Kronnenbitter) Watson & Ruppel Performance( Dave Watson), Heads up Cylinder Heads (Dave and DeeDe Layer),Jeff's Auto Body and Nitro Joe's Drag Racing Stats (Joe Jackson).
The support of our sponsors is huge for our series and we in turn ask you to support them when you need any of the services or products they provide.
The defending event champion from the 2013 is Pennsylvania's Tom Losket driving his C/SA Plymouth Roadrunner. Last year he defeated Ryan Rudrick in his P/SA Duster. Ryan has been runner up the last two years here and is looking to close the deal this year.
The 2014 Buckeye Stock/SuperStock Drag Racing Series will be dedicated to longtime Super Stock racer Richard Doan. Richard was the proprietor of Doan Alignment Service and an avid and dedicated racer. He ran with the Buckeye S/SS Series on many occasions.
To honor him Stock racer Rob Holmes owner of Phillips Sheet Metal Fabrications,Inc. contacted me with the thought of honoring Richard.
The winner of each race this season will receive $100 in addition to the regular guaranteed payout of $1000 making the winners total $1100. This bonus is provided by Robert Holmes in memory of Richard. To receive this bonus you must run a decal for Doan Alignment Service or a decal in his memory. We will have decals at the races for those of you that need them.
that the gates for the big cars open at 12:00 noon but time trials do not start until 3:00. We should get our first qualifying pass at 3:30 or so. Everyone will have plenty of time to get to the track from wherever you're coming from.
