$300 will be up for a team and a fan to claim with winning crew receiving $200 and a lucky fan earning $50 or if they select the winning team $100. If they do not select the winner they will still receive $50 for playing and the crew will get the other $50.
Fans can vote for one (1) Driver/Team per Class so each person has a total of five (5) votes starting Monday 7/5/2021
Classes competing are IMCA Modified, IMCA Stock Car, IMCA Sport Mod, E-Modified and Pure Stock with crews having to change the right rear tire in the competition.
No battery, air, electric lug wrenches can be used!!!!! Hand/Muscle powered lug wrenches only!!!! Manual floor jacks only!!!
Team is allowed a driver and three crew members. You are not a NASCAR crew member, so no gluing lug nuts on the rims!
Competitors will be parked in the infield and will be told by the Race Director when to enter track. There will be a slalom of cones on the back stretch the drivers must drive through. If a cone is hit or not maneuvered correctly the team will be penalized by adding time. Two cones will be set in turn #3 & #4 and this is where the timer starts. Four cones will be set on the front stretch in front of the fans so all can see. Driver must stop inside the four cones, not hitting nor missing and then the crew takes over. CAR MUST BE AT A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE CREWS CAN ENTER CONE AREA!!!! Crew will change left rear wheel and time will stop when completed and jack is down. Lug Nuts will be checked by an official for security.
Are crews ready!!!!!!!! And may the best team win!!!
