- We are trying to organize this event so that TSO points series racers can run Q16 if they so desire. I am planning to run tech and qualifying on Friday. Some racers will want to show up on Sunday only so we may have to make it Sunday morning. What are your thoughts? The finals will be run on Sunday at this point. Bill is adamant about having an 8 car field but with this being the first event I don't see it being an issue.
BPG National Trail Raceway August 3-5
-This should be a fantastic event as always.

The final detials of this race haven't been ironed out yet adn the event maybe moving from US41 to another track in Indiana. They are excited to have us and look forward to the event.

This will be the season finale and should be a good one! They have offered a nice race payout of $400, $200 to win, $100 RU and $50 each for semi's. Again they are going to base this on an 8 car field and will scale the payout for anything less.
