2009 Slant Six Racing
– Points Schedule - (posted 3-10-2009)
Las Vegas, NV –
March 20-22 "Mopars at the Strip" (CONFIRMED)
Doctor Dodge (Doug Dutra) and his son Allen will coordinate our 2009 SSRN season opener race. As in years past, Friday’s Test & Tune is the best chance to make passes. Friday night, we have a team dinner at Jerry’s Nugget. Saturday at MATS is kind of “slow” with 2 time trials in the AM, then a Gamblers” race for best ET and RT. (you need to “buy-in”) Saturday night dinner at Main street Station buffet. Sunday afternoon is the SL6 Points race that pays-out $50.00 for each round you win.
Rick Covalt, and
longtime Slant Six enthusiast has stepped up to organize this race. A
great opportunity to earn prize money and points at the Mason-Dixon
Dragway in Hagerstown, MD. This race will replace our Pittsburgh race
from years past. This is the weekend AFTER Memorial Day.
Redding,
CA, Redding Dragstrip May 30, 31 (CONFIRMED)
Redding Dragstrip is the “Killer Bee-hive” and where
the West Coast Team is getting big car counts. Redding is a small
track where you can get-in lots of runs. Admission cost is low,
camping at the track is free and it is a great place to make runs and
have fun.
