Test-and-Tune is not called up in sessions. You just go to the lanes when you want to make a run. Normally, S/SS are in lanes 1-2, and street/slick tire cars are in their own lanes as well. Around 2:30, they will call round 1 of S/SS to the lanes. Random pair first round. Ladder for second round, based on winning 1st round reaction times. Bye run chosen at random. Payouts start at $50 third round loser.

I will pay $50 for the Long Distance Tow award for the weekend (no fly-in racers).

There is a Sheetz about a half-mile from the track, west on 40 at US 40/state route 66 for racers needing fuel, ice, coffee, pop, etc.

Final two races for the 2015 TSSSSA season, and the last Class Racing event in the North East for the season.

I will have more information coming soon, in regards to hotels, local restaurants, and other info.

We hope to see you Oct 31-Nov 1 for the Mason-Dixon S/SS Fall Classic !

I will have more information coming soon, in regards to payouts, hotels, local restaurants, and other info.

This will be the twenty-first straight year I have gone to this race; the first year as a fan, and have been involved in some capacity with putting it on every year since. Always a great weekend, and way to wrap up the season. For those who have never been there and wondered how far it is, it is an hour from Breezewood PA (where I-70 east and the PA Turnpike split). Weather is usually pretty decent. I've been there when the temps were in the low eighties and we wore shorts; we have had races where 45-48 was the high. Last year was sunny and about 48-50 degrees. But, despite the chilly air, and below-sea-level air, the track was GREAT (they use the good stuff to prep the track). Augustus Adkins ran 8.805 @ 152 in his SS/B '69 AMX, and Paul Roderick was runner-up in his AAA/SA '13 CobraJet, with every run in the 8.80's, on nine-inch tires.

Equaling our biggest ever car counts, the payouts would be:
Saturday $50 race, 41 cars
3rd round loser - $50
4th round - 100
5th round - 250
Runner-up - 500
Winner - 900

Sunday, $100 race $2K to win, 63 cars
3rd round loser - 100
4th round loser - 200
5th round loser - 500
Runner-up - 1,350
Winner - 2,600

We usually get some money kicked into each races' purse from some friends, so those payouts will increase if so this year as well (we paid 1,000 win/500 R/U in the $50 race in 2013 with the same round money listed above). The payouts listed only count the current sponsor money + car count.

Any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
