AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

We are having a double at Tucson Dragway on March 1st and 2nd. This is the week after the double divisional in Phoenix.

Fees per day -
Gate fee: $65
Association Fee: $60 (Cash only)

Gates open: 7am
Track hot: 9am

It looks like payouts will be:

Winner: $1,200
Runner Up: $500
$100 Round Money starting with second round win.

If I round up additional sponsorship money before the race I will boost those up as much as I can.

There will not be a track hosted test and tune on Friday before the event. You can stack outside the gate for free Friday night if you arrive early. It sounds like the track will be offering Friday night parking and overnight camping inside for $30. I do not know what time the gates close if you are looking to take advantage of this and park inside Friday. Please reach out to the track for more information on this.

Is this going to be a 1/4 mile race. And will there be heads up if you draw a car in your class.

Re: AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

Quarter mile..
The majority of the racers in that series wanted heads-up. Still in effect , I believe.
Cars are weighed periodically .

Re: AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

Thank you for the information I thought it was heads up

Re: AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

Mark is correct. We will run 1/4 mile unless for some reason the weather does not permit and the track determines we have to run 1/8 mile.

We do heads up if you run someone in your class. I think we?ve had 2 heads up runs in all the races we?ve done. We will weigh on those passes and typically do at least on one time run.

Indexes will be altitude corrected.

Good Luck Yac, mine is back in Vegas for Summit 5/6 and MATS S/SS Combo then the RAD finish of my upgrade follows, so no heads up probably for you unless O'Connor magically shows up fixed.

You and Gary go get em from outfront my fellow slower brothers!

I want to support Tucson (and the Association that supports us also), but same weekend scheduling as L V. hurts and not financially feasible for us more northern AZ racers involved in both brackets and class racing.

Re: AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

Scheduling is definitely tough when all the tracks out here race as much as as they can this time of year. Hopefully you had a good day at the summit race at Vegas. I have a similar conflict next week in Tucson with the MATS race. I?ll make it to that race one of these days.

We wrapped up day 1 with some pretty heavy winds and a red flag warning forcing racing to 1/8 mile for the day. We had 9 racers show up today.

#1 qualifier was Tad Schei with a .006 light.

In the finals we saw Mark Yacavone take the win in his EF/S escort over John Dourlet in his FGT/J Duster.

Mark got $1200 and a California Car Cover gift certificate for his win. John got $500 for runner up, and Cyrus Bidwell got $100 for the semi finals.

We start again tomorrow morning. The forecast calls for the winds to calm so hopefully we will be back to 1/4 mile action.

Huge thanks to UEM pistons and California Car Cover for their support!

Great Job Yac! We also had to switch mid stream 2nd T.T. to 1/8 -mile due to high gusting winds.

Re: AZ Stock/SS - Tucson Dragway March 1st & 2nd
 

Sunday had some great weather and we got to get back to 1/4 mile racing. We had 9 cars again today.

#1 qualifier was John Dourlet with a .003 light.

John swept the day and closed out a great weekend taking the win in his FGT/J duster over Matt Hawk in his GT/OA Maverick.

John got $1200 and a California Car Cover gift certificate for the win. Matt got $500 for runner up, and Mike Graham got $100 for the semi finals.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and sticking through the wind on Saturday.
