IRRA rules.

$10 entry fee for each class entered.

No qualifying. Races will be run in a Round Robin format if we have between 9 and 11 entries in a given class. If we have more than 11 entries, then racers will be randomly seeded into mains with the combined lap totals determining the overall finishing positions.

Box plaques will be awarded to the podium winners, as well as the winner of concourse for each class.

See you there!

Why not run Stock Cars on the oval

[Edwardo]

The level of carnage that oval produces is totally unacceptable for a scratchbuilt class, in my opinion.

[Bud Greene]

I know what you mean runing Dirt Late models. I just figured since the stock car are a bit slower it wouldn't be quite as bad. But still looking forward to the race. I'm sure John, Pablo, and Greg will come to

[Edwardo]

I was hoping you South Alabama guys would come, should be a lot of fun.

[SliderGreg]

Sounds good to me. If Pablo isn't working that day I'll be he comes too.

[zforce]

I'm marking this one on my calender. Should be fun.

[Edwardo]

That's good to hear, Tommy. Looking forward to racing with you again.

[Bud Greene]

This still happening I hope

[brnursebmt]

[Bud Greene]

[Edwardo]

Thanks to all the racers who came out and supported this race, especially the South Alabama crew as they traveled quite a distance to attend.

Special thanks to Shirley Harrington for race directing and Dallas Jackson and Howard Harris for all their help in making this race happen.
