Street Legal Dragway would like to clarify misinformation currently being circulated regarding this past weekend’s event.
The event promoter did NOT rent the facility or independently operate the event.
Street Legal Dragway was responsible for and paid all normal event operating expenses, including:
• Facility rent
• Insurance
• Track staff
• Fire & safety personnel
• Timing operations
• Bathrooms & event services
• General event operations
The promoter’s involvement was limited to sponsoring and guaranteeing the advertised $700 racer payout, which WAS fully paid out to the racers as promised.
The promoter also independently handled all food sales, retained 100% of those proceeds, and also retained all proceeds from the 50/50 raffle conducted during the event.
Claims that Street Legal Dragway “stole money” or improperly kept event funds are completely false.
We would also like to address concerns regarding race flow and round advancement communication during the event.
As with many live racing events, occasional technical or operational issues can occur, especially when testing new systems and event formats. We appreciate the racers who brought legitimate concerns and feedback to our attention.
The event promoter was responsible for assisting racers in the staging lanes and helping communicate round advancement and pairings throughout the bracket race process. Unfortunately, communication in those areas did not operate as smoothly as intended during portions of the event.
Street Legal Dragway is already reviewing procedures and improvements to help ensure clearer communication and smoother operations moving forward.
We will not continue engaging in public online disputes and consider this matter addressed.
We remain committed to providing fair, transparent, safe, and professionally operated events for racers and spectators alike. We appreciate everyone who continues to support Street Legal Dragway and the sport of drag racing.
