John S.

Entry fee for the weekend will be $35 for the first class $25 for the second.
Awards for all in the A-main and all lower main winners. Season ending awards for the top 10 in each class. Huge raffle at each event. Plus a couple of other very special announcements coming soon. :cool:

Working on race flyers now but you will not need to pre-enter for the regional events.

No membership or extra fee required.
Just show up and have some fun. :thumbsup:

Sonny,

If we have not "registered" a car number, and we already have one painted on the body for the start of the season, can we still run? Are numbers still available?

Thanks
