Beech Bend Raceway SS/S Combo!

Broc.Porter · 04-05-2021, 04:14 PM

We are kicking off our SS/S Combo points series this weekend in Bowling Green! Saturday & Sunday double header with a race each day.
Gates open 8am Saturday morning. We are also have a Spring Swap Meet that is free to sell at if anyone wants to clean the shop out and try to sell some parts!

Trying a new purse/entry structure for this race to see how it is received by racers. $105 entry for $2,000 to win with 32 cars. ($600 RU and $200 Semis).

We have 7 Points races scheduled for the season at this time.
April 10th & 11th
May 22nd & 23rd
July 31st & Aug 1st
Oct 17th & 17th (Single race over two days).

Also we have the Clay Jones Memorial $5,000 SS/S Combo Classic scheduled for May 29th during the NHRA SportsNATIONAL OPEN this year!

Look forward to seeing the SS/S racers back this weekend!

Jeremy, I believe they're having a swap meet Saturday morning and that starts at 8 AM, so track gates will be open then.

Love BG, no better place to race. Honestly, the lower entry fees is one thing that I always liked about BG. Even in the bracket classes when we attend, they have good car count to help keep cost down. Lots of tracks closer to me are raising cost due to low car counts, and it seems that’s just running more people off. I appreciate the efforts to help put more money in our pockets if we win, but I like it much better not trying to take it to start with. 50.00 for 1,200.00 (if I am correct)with 50+ cars is great with me. I am sure I will be there just the same, but my vote is to keep it just the way it has always been.
