Saturday, September 26
$25 to register. Limited to 25 entries. Drivers will line up at the drag strip’s starting line and launch hard toward the first cones ~80 feet from the start line. From there, they’ll weave through the slalom, then hit the throttle again for a final burst of speed before stopping precisely at the cone stop box. The driver who completes the course the fastest — without missing or hitting a cone — takes the win and the cash prize!
All drivers must present a valid driver's license at event check-in. Minor drivers must be able to show that they have permission to operate the automobile and a parent or guardian must be present at check-in. All drivers must use a helmet Snell 2010 or later.
