Purse Doubles To $20 On Sunday Due To Weather
Due to on and off sprinkles/drizzle this morning and the future forecast for the afternoon we have decided to pull the plug on Saturday’s event.

Tomorrow will be $20,000 to Win in Box and $10,000 in No Box. With that being said all of the purse from Saturday’s payout will roll over to Sunday.

Since nothing went down the race track today (Saturday) everyone will receive one time trial on Sunday. Game plan is to start 9 AM on Sunday and we will begin working on prepping the track as soon as the rain stops this evening.
