Brushless Oval Champ is Coming Back
Last years Novak Midwest Brushless Oval Challenge Champion TJ Domark is coming out of retirement to compete for the BSR Brushless Oval Tour Championship. You can also expect to see TJ’s traveling side kick and all around nice guy Terry Warner back in action this season. Look for the two to make their first appearance in November at race number 2 in Vinton, IA.

BSR Brushless Oval Tour Points Fund
At seasons in addition to receiving some nice awards the top 10 drivers in each division will split one of the largest point funds in R/C oval history. Estimated to be in the neighborhood of
$5000.
The point fund will be based on a portion of entry fees, BRL Tour T-shirt sales, and sponsorship. The more racers that compete the larger the purse will grow.
Payout percentage will be divided based on class participation at seasons end. Example the Pro 4300 class will likely have a larger payout then the Pro modified class because of the increased number of overall entries.
Also the
RaceFanRadio.com $1000 Bonus is still up for grabs to any driver who can win the overall points title in any two divisions.
Add them it all together, The All Stat Event, The BSR Points Fund, The RaceFanRadio.com Bonus, Race prizes and awards. The Novak National Finals weekend will see a potential payout of over
$10,000 dollars in cash and awards.
