Fasten Your Seatbelts for the Footbrake Champions Tour

Motor Mile Dragway is gearing up for the Footbrake Champions Tour scheduled for May 28-30, 2021.

RADFORD, VA – Kick off your Memorial Day weekend in style by turning on win lights at Motor Mile Dragway! The Insinger Performance Footbrake Champions Tour features two days of Footbrake and Junior Dragster action May 28-30th.

Just prior to the start of this season, Doug Foley Jr joined Motor Mile Dragway as the General Manager with big plans for the facility. Although he’s tackled everything from dragsters with two-seats and winning big money bracket races, Foley is eager to embark on a new challenge.

He explains, “Racing is always how I’ve made my living, but this opportunity let’s me learn a side of business that I don’t have a lot of experience in. There is tons to learn and this is only the start of what I’m planning.”

Creating the Footbrake Champions Tour

When asked why he chose to add big money bracket racing to the schedule, Foley admits it’s partially for his own entertainment. “I personally enjoy racing for the higher stakes. Even though I won’t be staging in competition, I have a feeling that watching some of the biggest names in Footbrake racing battling it out at my facility will bring just as much satisfaction as actually having the helmet on.”

As for the drivers, Foley and his team at Motor Mile Dragway are bringing out all the stops! Aside from cash, winners will leave with big checks and trophies. For those not so fortunate, best losing package prizes will also be awarded courtesy of Pure Speed Drag Racing Experience, Champs Performance Parts, FTI Performance, and RBZbillet.com.

Mass traction will return to execute flawless track prep for the Footbrake Champions Tour and Ryan Gleghorn will be on the microphone to call the racing action. Foley continues, “If anyone knows the three of us, I’m sure it’s safe to say that we won’t be lacking in the fun department.”

Under The Lights Racing

Friday and Saturday night will each host a $3,000 to win race with $1,000 for the runner up. Semifinalists will get $500 each and racers who win third round will start collecting $40 per win light.

The entry fee is $75 per race and a buyback will cost you $50 after a first round loss.

Twin $10K Main Events

A $250 entry fee will get you a tech card for both Saturday and Sunday’s $10,000 to win races. Each runner up earns $2,000 while $750 goes home with the semifinalists.

Drivers earn $125 for every winning time slip beginning with third round. In other words, with four win lights you earn back your investment for the weekend main events!

If you choose to only run one day it will cost $155 at the gate. Forgiveness for a first round loss will cost you $100 and re-entries will be ran separately, with the winners advancing into second round.

FTI Performance is the sponsor for Saturday’s $10K while In Motion Solutions presents Sunday during the Insinger Performance Footbrake Champions Tour.

Junior Dragsters

Junior Dragster racers can pay $50 to race Saturday and Sunday with $250 up for grabs. The runner up drivers take home $100 while semifinalists earn $50 each.

A one-day entry will cost $30 and the re-entry fee is $20 if you lose first round.

The Fine Print

The Footbrake Champions Tour is an all eighth-mile event. Double entries are allowed but a car or driver can only go down the track twice per round.

Transbrakes are not allowed and delay boxes must be removed from the vehicle. Deep staging is honored.

Bye runs will be rewarded to the best reaction time and will carry over if unused. Cars will be paired on a Pro ladder based off reaction time beginning with 16 cars or less and re-laddered each round.
