D1 National Open - Napierville Dragway $10,000 STK/SS RACE!!

SS/GSI · 07-21-2023, 10:50 PM

Yesterday we received beautiful weather and a great day of testing.

Today the rain stopped at 8ish and we were testing at noon for about 3 hours until the rain came in.

Tomorrows weather looks promising and Sunday looks great for racing. The Brunet family has been working tirelessly to provide a great track surface as usual.

Seen lots of familiar faces and met a few new ones today. Hopefully more racers show up tomorrow; however the numbers so far are very positive for our first year back hosting the 10k race.

Congratulations Ron! You have been driving the wheels off that thing all year!

My Brother and I would like to sincerely thank all the competitors who attended. Given the forecast, we had a good turnout and great racing. Ron Morehead Jr. won the 10k race and Allison Doll won the Sunday race.

A huge thank you to the Brunet Family for giving us an incredible track surface. We had 3 hours of T&T Friday, Full race Saturday and Sunday.

Some of the parking was slightly unconventional; however given the forecast we did not want racers who traveled from long distances to be subject to getting pulled out of the mud and therefore tried to provide most of them with blacktop. Hopefully next year is showing a dryer weekend and we can pit all STK/SS Racers together on the tower side, should they prefer.

Next year Napierville Dragway and Gafftech Solutions, given the NHRA schedule, would like to propose the following:

Thursday: Free STK/SS T&T

Friday: $10,000 race #1

Saturday: $10,000 race #2

Sunday: 2-3k race and/or 10k rain day

Please let me know if this would be of interest to you and if there is anything we could do to make this race bigger and better for everyone. Tnx

Feel free to call or text me. 613.229.9582
