Roll call for MCR at OREC

Alan Nyhus · 07-08-2019, 10:33 AM

This weekend marks MCR's first event at the O.R.E.C (Onawa Racing and Event Center) in Onawa, Iowa just south of Sioux City and right off I-29. This is a city owned drag strip and event center complex that offers 1/8 mile racing. The track is beautifully smooth and the Stock/Super Stock racers that have tested there have been impressed with the traction and prep.

Okay...who's going?

1/8 mile racing is like taking you sister to the prom. make it a 1/4 mile and I am in!

Better to take your sister then your mom. I’m thankful for any track that is willing to host a event for us. Great payouts and less wear on hard parts what’s not to like? But hey what do I know as a rookie with a small budget. Thanks to all the sponsors and people that put these together.

Unfortunately as a dad with two boys in baseball I’m unable to make it. Its wrong but I’m hope for a couple quick losses in the state tournament and I will haul down for one day!

We're heading up Friday night. Hope to see a great turnout and put on a good show!
And Corky, you should be used to dating your sister by now haha!

Recapping the payout for both days of this race:
Win: $2000
RU: $1000
Semi: $500
Qtrs: $250
First round winners: $75 (addl round money paid to the qtrs)

Entry fee is $100 per day.

So bring your sister-date

(or even your cousin-wife, if you have one of those

) and come enjoy some of the best Stock/Super Stock racing in the country while we continue to build for the future.

Just a FYI
The National Nomad Club 3 yr convention is in Omaha beginning Sunday, I know a few are going to swing by track Sunday before gathering at the Marriott at Regency, they put the drag race in 2 issues of their monthly newsletter. Maybe you’ll see some traveling on the Interstate and wonder what’s going on

Now ya know

Ummmm, just saw the ad flyer for Onawa (Orec), “race weekend”: 22 bands, music til 5AM, 3 day music festival plus car audio competition !

Called 712 Boom Festival

Jrs/SST/box/no box/ & more, plus our little S/SS shootout

3 day camping & music starts Friday at 4:30

Mini Woodstock?

What could go wrong?

Here's an aerial view of the facility. The music event is being held to the South of the race track (the extreme lower left edge of the picture). The racer entrance is from the North, the music event fans will enter from the South. So with the exception of some of the music fans buying a pass to come over and check out the racing, the track is treating this as separate events.

Mini Woodstock? In Iowa?

Maybe call it 'Cornstock' ???
