Scott Bailey and I are proud to announce the addition of a Friday Night Racer’s Appreciation Barbecue at the second annual JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout, which will be presented by Holley Performance. The barbecue will be held Friday night July 20, prior to the weekend action. It will be prepared by my partner & track owner Scott Bailey, who was well known in the event concession business prior to purchasing I-57 Dragstrip. The barbecue dinner will be free of charge for all participants and weekend spectators, thanks Holley Performance Products. We were looking for something extra we could do to show the racers at the JEGS Summer Door Car Shootout how much we appreciate them coming out to I-57. The folks at Holley were involved in the inaugural event and they were one of the first companies to come to us and ask how they could play a larger role in year two. The result will be a great meal and a lot of fun before the racing really kicks into high gear. If you’ve never tasted any of Scott’s cooking, be sure to get to the track on Friday evening and get parked; you’re in for a treat thanks to Scott, the I-57 staff, and Holley Performance. The gates will open Friday at noon, and will be open for parking all night. Friday night I-57 Dragstrip will host a test-n-tune session from 6:00-11:00, highlighted by the opening qualifying session for Quick 16 at 9:00. The Holley Performance Racers Appreciation Barbecue will kick off at 8:00. The second annual JEGS SDCS will be even better than the original! For more information, contact me (256-679-8328) or Scott (618-513-0165).

How about making the Q16 a separate race without having to enter the big$ event? How many rounds did it take to win the big$ event last year?

How about making the Q16 a separate race without having to enter the big$ event? How many rounds did it take to win the big$ event last year? I don't think this is a good idea. They are losing money on this race but it is just another way to give back to the racers. Plus if some crazy fast car shows up that doesn't support the race it would knock out another car that was supporting. The big event was a 9 round race last year.

I understand where you are coming from Jeremy. 9 rounds plus an additional 4 for the Q16 (if you win) is hard on parts and a person in the July heat. It was just a thought thats all...
