Dean Cook Memorial Race - June 8th

[T. Boucher]

As everyone knows, we lost a true gentleman in the sport last year with the passing of Dean Cook. He was a great racer and even a greater person. Throughout his involvement in drag racing, he was one that was always willing to lend a hand. Dean was also one of the biggest supporters of the All Star Racing Association. He was involved with the ASRA since its inception in 1982 and was always looking for creative ways to contribute to the association as a sponsor.

It is with great honor to announce that ASRA is going to hold our race on Saturday, June 8th at New England Dragway in memory of Dean Cook. The memorial race will include an increased payout of an extra $350 to the winner, $200 to the runner up, and $100 to each semifinalist. For ASRA Members, this now makes the winners purse a guaranteed $2,000 to win and $1,000 runner up with round money still starting with a 1st round win.

As with prior memorial races run in conjunction with ASRA, if there is anyone interested in making additional donations to the race purse in honor of Dean Cook, please reach out to any of the board of directors.

This race will be part of the double header weekend where there are four $100 VP racing fuels gift certificates that will be awarded to the 4 racers that earn the most points over the two days. The gift certificates are courtesy of New England Dragway and VP Racing Fuels.
