GALOT Motorsports Park - Stock/Super Stock Race

Ken Miele · 08-25-2022, 09:37 PM

Hey guys, GALOT Motorsports Park is putting on a Stock Super Stock race on October 22. $2000 to win guaranteed, $100 entry fee, $100 round money for secound round win. There is also a Friday night bottom bulb shoot out. Lots of racers would like to see these types of races at other tracks, so lets give Galot a shot.

If the turnout is good I can see a future for Stock and Super Stock at Galot.

All NHRA and IHRA cars are welcome, pairing starts 2nd round with no heads up racing.

Give me your thoughts guys, I know there is a lot if races to choose from... but Galot is willing to host Stock and Super Stock if we show up.

1/8th or 1/4?

1/8 mile racing teaches you how to be a great 1/4 mile racer!

ar this time Galot can only run 1/8 mile until they acquire the land to lenghten the shut down area. Galot is a beautiful facility and the finest track in NC aside from Zmax which has only been open for 2 national events each year. It will be worth the trip and will not disappoint you.Check out their website for photos and info on this track. They do permit the .90 classes to run to 1000 ft. at the divisional.

Worth the trip, Brett. You won't regret it.

Hopefully this is well supported. The CCRA gets a pretty good turnout and they are mostly 1/8 mile races. Maybe all?? It still blows me away at a LODRS race how many racers head out on Sunday when there is a Pro-Am race. I've asked a few and they said they don't race 1/8 mile....

Second thought.... it couldn't be hard to convert 1/8 or 1/4 mile indexes into 1000' indexes. I would race that in a heartbeat!

For a stock or super stock to be quick, you get it to haul arse to the 1/8, and get it to hang on for the last 1/8.

Pretty strange they are having stk/ss race, they did not want to host a CCRA race, basically the same thing..Love the track, except the fact there is no early turnoff, have to run the entire shut down to make the return road.

Galot is all concrete and the track is heated and cooled, really did an outstanding job rebuilding the facility.
