The Make A Wish donations are already coming in. We are well on our way to our $7,000 goal...incredible!

In addition to the normal payout, we have some other sponsors that are getting involved with some financial incentives:

-Terry Grosz is offering $100 for anyone that wins with a stick.

-Rob Angland from A&A Cycle in Watertown, S.D. is putting up $100 for anyone that wins with a station wagon.

-Long time Thunder Valley and NHRA Division 5 starter Marv Lovro sweetened the pot by offering $100 to the winner of Sundays race.

-Bill Fiest's 'Wild Bill's Perfectly Strange Award' offers $100 to the first racer that runs exactly on his or her dial in with a zero on a winning run (example: 10.500 on a 10.50 dial in). This is for both Saturday and Sunday races.

-On Sunday, Bill Wittstruck will be distributing gifts donated by various Mitchell, S.D. businesses to racers chosen by random drawing.

We also wish to thank our associate event sponsor for Saturday, H&R Salvage, for their generosity and support. On Sunday, the associate event sponsor is Selland Trucking, also from the racing town of Mitchell, S.D.

More to come as we get closer.
