2nd Annual Randy Drake Memorial Race

[338d]

Figured I would throw out, that the date for the 2nd running of this event has been set. This year will be ran the same weekend as last years race was, in conjunction with the 2018 points finale weekend September 1 - 2. The race will be ran on Saturday evening instead of Sunday evening this year, so with it being a two day event, it should make hanging out after the event much easier for all! Details of this years race will be coming soon, but more than likely going to shoot for 64 cars instead of 48. This was a awesome event last year and hoping to make it as good if not better this year, anyone have any suggestions let me know as I am open. I know last year the subject of bikes not being included was brought up. Honestly, I would not have had any issues with them in it, as they are the ones that have the disadvantage, but I was afraid that some racers would have been against it.

Thanks,
Clay

That was a great event. At least this year I have something to run and can use my own entry.

Would like to see events start earlier if having multiple events on same day.
Last year it got to be quite late with special races .
If I remember JRs we’re running late also.
Good luck Clay .

Last years event took about 2 hours to run and was completed by around 7:30 as we mixed it in with the King Of The Track runoff. Everyone involved did a good job of being ready for the next round and getting back to the lanes. I believe we may be mixing it in with another race this year, so looks like it shouldn't be any issue this year either.

i Assume no dragsters due to no time break? I bet Frankie’s girlfriend would race her dragster in it and Paige hoagle almost has my old dragster ready to start making licensing runs next week. But that’s only one or two cars. Not worth upsetting the apple cart .
