This Saturday June 11th the Buckeye Stock/SuperStock Drag Racing Series presented by Columbus Joint & Clutch,will be at Kil Kare Dragway in Xenia, OH. Gates will open at 9:00 am. Cars will not hit the track until 11:00. Run order will be Pro ET, JR Dragsters, Super Pro, Bikes, Sportsman, then Stock/SuperStock. We will most likely get on the track around 12:30 or so. We will get 2 time trials (unless something unforeseen happens). Eliminations will follow the same order.
Mid Ohio Paving will pay $100 to the dial for dollars winner on the first time trial. Parsons & Myers Racing Engines awards the racer with the best first round winning package $100 as well.
For racers that want to come early there is Pro Double Up going on Friday night. This is a $50 entry that pays $1,000 to win and money starts at 16 or less. Gates open @ 5pm and have been able to do open time runs till 6:30pm with eliminations at 7pm. That will be our only class running so the program runs rather quickly. Also, if anyone is wanting to park on Friday night they will be able as well. All of our racers can run this if they want. This is a great chance to get in two races in one weekend.
On the very serious side, as the year ended in 2015 we learned of the death of Steve "Moocher" Thomas. Most of you may not know the name. He was Jim Nichols (Mid Ohio Paving) right hand man since 1977.(Jim has raced with our series since it was started and has sponsored the Dial for Dollars as well since the beginning, paying $100 at each race, to racers that got the closest to their dial in.)Prior to that he toured the country with Butch " California Flash" Leal for 8 years and before that he worked for Ray Christian for ten or eleven years. His death was sudden and he had not planned well. The Buckeye Stock SuperStock Drag Racing series will take up donations at the next three races to help pay for a gravestone and burial expenses for the family. The Buckeye S/SS Series will match donations up to $500 to help with this. Monies will be turned over to Jim Nichols for the family. Ten or twenty dollars each will go a long way towards this. (We've all wasted more money than this for unimportant things). Please do what you can for this cause.
Nitro Joe and I are really looking forward to kicking off the 2016 Season with all of you. See you at Kil Kare.
