National Open - Medicine Hat, Alberta

We would like to extend an invitation to everyone to attend the National Open in Medicine Hat, Alberta to be held August 3 - 5.
This is a double header race, so we get two shots at the eliminator along with 2 grade points.
The MHDRA has been working hard on more and more improvements. The track has be ground and plained smooth, extended gaurdrails, the pits have been enlarged, new burnout box, upgraded timing system etc. etc. It just keeps getting better.

Friday night we're going to have the 2nd Annual fun race - The rules are simple. Qualifying is based on a draw from a hat. You get one hit. Dial your car and race. You get your ET "only" after each round and of course who is the winner and loser. (We give you your ET slips after the race). No reaction times, no scoreboards, no weather stations (honor system on the weather stations) etc. It's a lot of fun and you see just how well you know your car. The winnner and runner-up each get a piece of the winnings PLUS the winner gets the coveted "Wounded Wally" trophy to keep for a year. Sheldon Erfle SS/PA won it last year.

Saturday night the MHDRA will be putting on a barbecue for the racers. Anybody who has attended in the past knows what a great meal it is. Remember there's no charge to you. It is a sponsored meal.

VERY IMPORTANT - There has been a change in the parking arrangements from previous years. (That's another story I'll tell you about sometime) This year it is first come first serve. If you have units over 60 feet, give me a call as they have an area set aside for this size of unit. They will start parking on THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

I hope those who have supported this race in the past will continue to do so and we encourage those that haven't to make the trip. It's great racing and a great time.
