To kick off the weekend, the $3,000-to-win Gamblers race will take place on Friday evening. The runner-up will earn $1,000 and semi-finalists will take home $500. This race is open to all Turkey Beach Bash entries and payouts are based off 64 entries. Double entries are allowed and the entry fee is $100 with a $50 1st round buyback.

Friday night will also feature a Test n’ Tune session from 2-4pm. If you are entered in the $3K Gamblers race, your Test n’ Tune fee ($25) will be waived.

Saturday Morning “Out the Gate” Ghost Race

The “Out the Gate” Ghost Race is scheduled for Saturday morning, featuring a 16-car field with a $200 entry fee. There will be no time trials or buybacks, and time slips will not be provided until the race concludes. The winner will receive $1,500, while the runner-up will be awarded $500, and semi-finalists will take home $350.

If the field expands to 32 cars, the purse will double! Participation in the ‘Out the Gate’ Ghost Race is on a first-come, first-served basis, and payment will be collected at the gate.

Twin $25Ks

On Saturday & Sunday, Top Bulb racers will compete for $25,000 each day with $2,500 to the runner-ups and more payouts down to round 3 winners.
