IMPORTANT TECH UPDATE: Effective 1/1/12 the Snell M2000 or SA2000 Helmets will no longer be valid for use in drag racing. Please check your helmet and if you have either a Snell M2000 or Snell SA2000 you will need to replace it prior to competing in any competition at any NHRA sanctioned racetrack in 2012. The Snell M2000 or Snell SA2000 helmets are expired and no exceptions will be made for use of this model of helmet if you are running 13.99 and quicker in the 1/4 mile or 8.59 in the 1/8th mile. Acceptable helmets are the Snell 2005 and Snell 2010. Please also remind your fellow racers to check their helmets as well!! Thanks.


Saturday, May 19 -- Test Day, Jr. Dragsters & Saturday Nite Special

  • Gates Open at 7:30 a.m.

  • Test Day -- 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

  • Cost:  See Explantion Below!
              $69 + $10/Car & Driver = $79
              $20/Crew (2-day Spectator Armband)
    This is how it works.  We consider the Test Day/Bracket Race Day a 2-day event!  As such when you come in the gate each person will be paying for a 2-day Armband.  But, if you are NOT planning to stay for Sunday or coming back for Sunday, when you LEAVE on Saturday, you will stop back at the front gate on your way out, turn in the armband and get $10 back on each armband purchased.  Thus, you are only paying $69 to test or $10 to watch.  If you are planning to return for Sunday's event, then you are covered to watch for the entire race weekend.
