Ladies and Gentlemen,… Start your Engines!!!
The 2016 Slant 6 Drag Racing season is about to begin and we have a whopping 26 races across the country!! Team Green has created two opportunities for more of the Mid-West racers to get involved with new races at Centerville, AR and Tulsa, OK.
The racing kicks off with the usual Mopars At The Strip (MATS) in Las Vegas 18-20 March. They need an 8 car field to be in the program, so if you’re in the area bring your Slant powered vehicle and support their efforts.
There are so many races this year, bouncing all over the country that I’ll just list them all here:
18-20 March – Las Vegas, NV (1 race)
8-9 April – MoKan, KS (2 races)
14-15 May – Hagerstown, MD (2 races)
21-22 May – Redding, CA (2 races)
5 June – Sacramento, CA (1 race)
5 June – Centerville, AR (1 race)
25-26 June – Bristol, TN (2 races)
25 June – Woodburn, OR (1 race)
16-17 July – Samoa, CA (2 races)
22-23 July – Knoxville, TN (2 races)
13 August – Woodburn, OR (1 race)
19-20 August – Wilkesboro, NC (2 races)
16-17 September – Clay City, KY (2 races)
1-2 October – Redding, CA (2 races)
8-9 October – Hagerstown, MD (2 races)
5 November – Tulsa, OK (1 race)
There is a new twist being added this year as well. Someone (Okay,… Me) put a $100 Bounty on the 2015 Champion. I’ll kick in another $100 if this year’s Champion comes from West of the Mississippi River. In fact, let’s just add another $100 if this year’s Champion is from one of our Mid-Western states. There may be more added as the season progresses and more people decide to pitch in.
