The Annual Mason-Dixon S/SS Fall Classic Oct 31-Nov 1

[Mike Carr]

I will have more information coming soon, in regards to payouts, hotels, local restaurants, and other info.

This will be the twenty-first straight year I have gone to this race; the first year as a fan, and have been involved in some capacity with putting it on every year since. Always a great weekend, and way to wrap up the season. For those who have never been there and wondered how far it is, it is an hour from Breezewood PA (where I-70 east and the PA Turnpike split). Weather is usually pretty decent. I've been there when the temps were in the low eighties and we wore shorts; we have had races where 45-48 was the high. Last year was sunny and about 48-50 degrees. But, despite the chilly air, and below-sea-level air, the track was GREAT (they use the good stuff to prep the track). Augustus Adkins ran 8.805 @ 152 in his SS/B '69 AMX, and Paul Roderick was runner-up in his AAA/SA '13 CobraJet, with every run in the 8.80's, on nine-inch tires.

Equaling our biggest ever car counts, the payouts would be:
Saturday $50 race, 41 cars
3rd round loser - $50
4th round - 100
5th round - 250
Runner-up - 500
Winner - 900

Sunday, $100 race $2K to win, 63 cars
3rd round loser - 100
4th round loser - 200
5th round loser - 500
Runner-up - 1,350
Winner - 2,600

We usually get some money kicked into each races' purse from some friends, so those payouts will increase if so this year as well (we paid 1,000 win/500 R/U in the $50 race in 2013 with the same round money listed above). The payouts listed only count the current sponsor money + car count.

Any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
