Details On 2014 Race Schedule
The 2014 Season schedule offers more choices for our bracket racers. We have added 4 more 2 day weekends to our schedule to help reduce the cost of travel to the track especially those that have to make a longer tow. We will drop the 4 lowest points races at the end of the season so for those who don`t want to run more Sundays or those who do not want to come for the one day races can do so and not hurt their chances to chase points. With this schedule we will have at least one weekend a month with no points race and some months with 2 weekends with no points races. On our non points race dates we are still working on details for those dates, watch our website for more details to come. Some will have some racing others may be non racing events.
As in the past we will have several special classes running on select dates. The Advanced Transmission Top Sportsman / Top Dragster series will have 4 (2) day races (8 total with no waived races this year) Quick Performance returns as the sponsor of the very exciting 10.5 tire class which will have 4 races at ERP this year. We will have 4 (2) day races for the 6.90 index class now called `Hot Rod`. The ERP stick shift class will return with either 4 or 5 race dates for this series. As announced earlier the bikes will be allowed to run in the car classes this year but we are also looking at 4 (2) day races that the Pro Bike and Street bike classes have a class just for them. The high school class will run on 8 Friday nights as will a new entry level class called Teen Championship Racing. This IHRA program allows kids with a learners permit or a license to compete with a street legal car 10 seconds and slower with a parent or gaurdian as a passenger. We will have more details on this later. Midnight Madness returns with 6 Friday night events for street legal cars and bikes.
Special events for the year start off with Memorial Day weekend. This weekend will include several of our special classes and we hope to have Pro Mods part of it, however this is not finalized at this time. In June we will have an IHRA Iron Man race when the 3 bracket class winners will get an IHRA Iron Man trophy. The Musco Lighting Night of Fire will return on the weekend of July 4-6 with details to be announced. The awesome World Fuel Altered Nationals will be back for the 9th year on Aug. 15-17 with some more nitro action along with lots of sportsman racing as well. Labor Day weekend will have lots of special sportsman racing and the final big event for bracket racers will be our Fall Bracket Classic this year on Sept. 20-21. Our season will conclude with our Jr Dragster Halloween Nationals Oct. 3-5. This will be a special IHRA event. We are working on details at this time.
Other possibilities that we are working on at this time are car shows, a concert, swap meet, and special events focused on street cars. Details on our special events and classes will be posted on our website and Facebook site as details are finalized.
