Act Now to Save on Western Canadian Summer Classic Entry Fee
June 15th marks the pre-entry deadline for this year’s T&T Promotions Western Canadian Summer Classic.
ALBERTA, CANADA: T&T Promotions 2nd Annual Western Canadian Summer Classic returns to Medicine Hat Drag Racing Association July 23-25, 2021.
The biggest bracket race in Western Canadian history will be presented by RAD Torque Systems, GMack Oilfield Services, and Total Dairy Solutions.
More than $100,000 will be awarded throughout three days of intense Top Bulb, Bottom Bulb, and Junior Dragster competition. Over $20,000 of additional funds will be dispersed through Racer Appreciation awards and round prizes!
Plenty of Races
Eliminations begin Friday with the $5K Warmup race before crowning two $10K champions on Saturday and Sunday. Last year’s main event winners, Richard Harder and James Rutherford, are likely to return in hopes of claiming another Western Canadian Summer Classic win.
Junior Dragster competitors will have the opportunity to win $1,000 both Saturday and Sunday during their main event races.
Top and Bottom Bulb Shootouts
Jason Padd will be looking to defend his title during the 48-car Top Bulb $20K Shootout on Saturday night. New for 2021 is the addition of a 32-car Bottom Bulb Shootout that pays $10K to win.
The Top Bulb Shootout list is full, but Bottom Bulb drivers can send the $375 entry fee to promotions@tntmotorsports.ca to claim a spot in the Shootout.
Entry Fees
Pre-entry prices are $100 for Friday’s $5K Warmup Race and $200 each for Saturday and Sunday’s main events. The price goes up after June 15th, so you must act quickly to save some cash!
At the gate, Friday’s Warmup will cost $150 while each main event entry will be $250. All Junior Dragster racers will pay $65 per day.
