Free admission to the pits. No transponder rental fees. Regular show payouts. Payouts are posted at the top of our page. Rules are in the comments. Absolutely no outside food or drinks allowed.

Classes: Pro Late Models, Open Wheel Modifieds, KDRA Super Stocks, Crown Vics, Hornets, Budget Bangers, and Mini Wedges.

Since this is a free event, no entries will be accepted after driver registration closes at 6 PM. We ask that you plan ahead and arrive at the race track no later than 5 PM to give yourselves plenty of time for parking and registration.

For this event only—if more than 100 total entries, we will lock in the top 16 from Hot Lap/Qualifying, Last Chance Heat, and Features.

Everyone will need to stop at the pit admission booth as normal to sign pit waivers. Each minor will need a minor participant form filled out.

Spectators and anyone not associated with a race team will enter through the grandstand gate. We will also have pit waivers at the grandstand gate for everyone to sign.

This is a historic event and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us make it a success.
