Trackside Products To Sponsor All-Star Clash
At Short Track SuperNationals
That
dream will become reality during the Short Track SuperNationals
at Five Mile Point Speedway on Oct. 10, via the support
of Trackside Products - a full-service speed shop in
The
Trackside Products All-Star Clash will offer a healthy $600 to win for just
six-and-a-half laps of racing.
Yes,
six-and-a-half laps. The field will get the green flag off turn two for the
initial start, but the checkered will be displayed on the frontstretch,
allowing for the extra half-lap.
2009
Modified track champions from the following facilities will be eligible to
compete: Accord (N.Y.)
All
eight participants in the event will be paid. The starting lineup will be
determined by a random, public draw for position.
Trackside
Products proprietor Al Wilcox believes the All-Star Clash is an exciting
addition to the Short Track SuperNationals.
"I
think it is an idea that will go over well with the fans," Wilcox said.
"They'll get to see track champions from around the area compete
against each other. The racers will leave with some extra cash in their
pockets, too."
Should
one of the eligible competitors choose not to attend, champions from other
venues who plan to compete at the SuperNationals will
be selected to run the Trackside Products All-Star Clash.
Trackside
Products is a full-service speed shop and an authorized distributor of American
Racer tires and VP Racing Fuel.
The
second running of the Short Track SuperNationals,
geared toward the weekly racer, will pay a minimum of $3,500 to win, $1,000 for
fifth, $500 for 10th and $200 to take the green flag.
Drivers
who post a $20 gambler's fee as part of the "Pioneer Pole Puildings Roll the Dice Challenge" will be eligible
for an increased $5,000 winner's share. Drivers must post the fee prior to
the start of qualifying.
Sail panels will be permitted. Competitors have the option of gasoline or
methanol. Any 13- by 92-inch Modified tire will be legal. 358-Modifieds will be
granted a weight break.
Drivers will draw for heat-race starting positions, with a top-12 redraw for
the feature. In the interest of fan entertainment, there will be no time
trials.
The first edition of the Short Track SuperNationals,
held in 2006 at N.Y.'s Afton Speedway, drew a field
of 54 Modifieds. Mike Ricci of
The Race of Champions Dart Pure Stock Tour, Four Cylinder Stocks and an open
event for Vintage Modifieds will complete the one-day event.
A "split program" will be run, with support-division qualifying held
earlier in the afternoon, prior to the Modifieds hitting the track in the
evening.
Admission
prices, start times, entry information and other
details will be released in the near future. There will be a rain date for the
event.
