final race setup

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Hello Racers

The Last race of the Year is next weekend and we could use some help for Setup.

The Airport now requires us to have “x’s” at both ends of the runway before we can setup our gear.

We will be placing the “x’s” out on Wednesday August 27th @ 7pm, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Our normal setup will be on Thursday August 28th @ 7pm. We will be using the main entrance gate.

The gate will be locked at all times for Setup, so if everyone could show up @ 7pm or earlier, it would be easier.

The extra help would be nice on Wednesday because the “x’s” require 400 sand bags to hold them down.

Thanks

TDRA will be participating in the Riverboat Days parade. Anyone interested in putting their cars and having them in the parade with us are asked to contact Blake Bedford at 250-615-8547. Parade is Saturday morning. We will be displaying our guest feature vehicle in the parade brought to you by Astral Media & Terrace Totem Ford’s Fastlane.

Hot August Nites

Gates open at 8am

Classes for Sunday will be:

Time trials & qualifying for Quick 8 / Morning

Brackets…Jr/Pro/Super Pro in the afternoon

Feature Vehicle passes / 3 hits

Sunday night will also be our barbeque bash which this year is hosted by our drag race friends from Kitimat. The drag racers from Kitimat have had the torch passed to them this year from last years Prince Rupert Club and will be hosting the barbeque. All racers and anyone in their vehicle will be given wrist bands when they pay at the gate, this will get them their passes for food put on by the Kitimat racer’s. Make sure you get enough passes for your crew/family & friends. This will get underway right after the races at about 6-7pm and then their will be a live band playing at 8pm from Terrace known as “Where’s Billy”. The party will continue on until midnight.

Monday August 4th

Gates open at 8am

Racing starts at 10am

Time trials & Qualifying for the Quick 8 class in the morning

Afternoon will consist of:

King of the YXT

Gamblers

Quick 8

Feature vehicle will make 3 passes

Quick 8 will work as follows:

We will be running both days during time trials to determine who the quickest 8 cars are and offer them an opportunity to buy into a separate class known as Quick 8. It will cost $100.00 above and beyond the regular entry fee to enter the Quick 8. For those 8 cars entered, if you win one round, you win $100.00 (which is basically your entry fee back), we will be splitting up $3000.00 in the Quick 8 field. 1st place will walk away with $1350.00!!!!! We will also be discussing at the driver’s meeting on Monday if we want to run a Standard tree or 4/10th or 5/10th Pro tree for the Quick 8 class. We will also award $200.00 for the Top Qualifier for Quick 8.

We are looking for Mother Nature to work with us this weekend, we have some special cars coming from far away, A barbeque with a great band, & big crowds expected. So please pass the word, let’s make this a success as it has been over the years.
