Combo race at Beacon in Paducah, KY

Larry Hill · 10-07-2014, 09:36 PM

Tentative race date for a stock-super stock-nostalgia super stock race at Beacon Raceway in Paducah, KY is October, 25 . This a Saturday. Gates open at 10. Open time trials start at 11 and 2 regular time trials starting at 12. Racing begins at approximately 2 pm. It will be a go if we have 25 cars confirmed by this Friday, October 10 at noon.

Please call, text, pm or say so here on the forum.

We will have a designated parking area and traction compound is PJ1 (the good stuff). We will have scales so heads-up will not be a problem! It is a clean, family oriented racetrack. Please bring candy for the kids for late trick or treating. 100% payback.

More later.

Mike, it's about 150 miles from BG to the track, and when you get on Oaks Road (KY 450) there are signs, which is a good thing because its easy to miss the small road. The round track and a nice little RV campground (Victory) is also on the road so signs reflect that also.

Went to school in Paducah...nice little track.

Thanks to all the racers who committed to coming to the race!

I just got word that the Stock, Super Stock, NSS Combo race date is Saturday October 25. This is great news. The combo race will be the track first S/SS event. Beach Bend last combo race is Sunday October 26. Now we can race Paducah on Saturday and Bowling Green on Sunday. Its about a 2 1/2 hour drive or about 140 to 150 miles track to track.

More later....

For those racers planning on going to both races, it will be ok to spend the night at Beacon Dragway, or leave your trailer there for the night and travel to Bowling Green Sunday morning.

I spoke with Dallas Jones at Beach Bend and if you arrive Saturday evening, stacking will be in the camp ground entrance.

I think with the deer population we have in western Kentucky it would be safer to travel in the light of day. In the fall of the year deer are a real road hazard.

Trying to help organize a race is very time consuming. My hats of to Michael Beard and Loose Rocker.

More later on price, rules, and eliminations.
