Racers please read below.

With all this crazy excessive heat i57 have made the decision to close on Saturday and cancel the Mini Bucks race.
We have Drag/Drive racers still committed to coming on Friday and Sunday. And we will still run a test/tune on Friday evening once the heat calms down appr 7pm.
This will give our staff a day break from all this heat and still allow the drag drive to happen.
We apologize in advance. We feel this is the right decision based on over 100 degree temps each day.
Enjoy your holiday weekend. See you at the track soon.
Steve.

Racers this week…
We just got a track rental tomorrow Wednesday night from 7-10:30 and he is looking for a few cars that would like to join to share his cost.
$100 a car. Good prep. Anyone interested let me know or show up.

Also. This Friday we have some fast radial cars coming so we will wick up a lane after 7pm when the heat comes off it. Anyone interested come on out and have some fun. Let’s see those fast cars again !!!

Racers. Let’s try something a lot different this Labor Day weekend. How bout a $40 entry and 2k guaranteed minimal.
I’ve heard this a bunch this year. “ It’s too expensive to race“, “ I won’t come for $100 plus entries fees “.
Well. Here ya go…. Introducing the MINI-BUCKS. This Friday and Saturday at I57 Dragstrip. $40 entry’s abroad, split classes that yall asked for, and sportsman and jr dragster classes to boot. A Quick 32 class that will roll your entry over into super or pro as long as you purchase a separate class entry.
If you can’t afford this one we can’t help ya. Cheapest race you’ll find around these parts. And to think it’s technically only $10 bucks more than a Friday night test/tune. 😳

Friday night test/tune with a gamblers race mixed in.
Everything is listed on the flier below. Gate times, entry fees, spectator fees. It’s all there. Share share away. This will be the cheapest you’ll race for this year !!!!!

***Sunday we will have an open test/tune for $30 as well. $10 spectator fee. As we have the I57 drag and drive cars returning on Sunday to finish out. Sunday’s gate times are 11am. We will run till the drag/drive competition is done.
Roughly 4pm. ***

Bracket team finals at I57 update:

Still working on a bunch of items. Just wanted to share a few things and post a few Picts of the schedule, entry and crew fees. Plus the payouts.
Regarding racer payouts. The Friday gamblers race was and always has been a 70% pay structure. We left that alone.
On the main event due to no sponsor or track money from IHRA , we have to run it at 80% of entry fees collected. We left the entry fee for the main race the same it was as well.
There is a 1st rd buyback for the gamblers race on Friday and new this year is a re-entry no points round on the main event Saturday to give everyone a shot at the title.
I dropped the crew fees down as they were way to high the way it was with a single day, any day added. In years past you had to buy the whole weekend even if you were only spectating or crewing for one day. That was never fair and we adjusted that.
On the race of champions. Everyone please say thank you to Scotty Brewer of Bowlin funeral home, Dresden, TN. as he has graciously donated $500 for the super pro and $500 to the pro side. $300 for the sportsman side and $200 for the juniors. In years past, this free race of champions was a 3-4 rd race of the individual track champions with only a plaque to show for it. Now you guys have something real to race for. Thank you Scotty, you are a rock star.
On the note of thanks, thank you to Samantha from Gleason for helping with hotel info and other items. Thank you to Possum from Skelton for donating a barrel of glue to use that weekend helping us at I57 be able to put this on. Thank you to anyone else who has or will lend a hand as this is def a big project to undertake !!!!
With all that said, please read below in the pictures. I have discussed this with all track managers involved and we have agreed this is the best approach for this race. We also took input from racers we appreciate that as well.
I’ll have a complete copy of the rules, info and all things regarding the team finals sent out to each track by next week.
Any questions, just ask. We are extremely transparent and just want everyone to have a great time !!
