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 have fun.
Knoxville, TN – June? (Pending)
Meril Bruner will find out about dates in June to host another race at
Knoxville Dragway in Maynardville, TN. Last year’s race drew 18 cars and we are
hoping for some new blood this year. Meril and Ella would host another cookout
at their house before the race! SCT sponsorship would be behind the race purse.
Sonoma, CA - Infineon Raceway
June 6th, "Wine Country Mopars" (CONF. ?)
This is a “first rate” drag strip
and part of the famous Sears Point road course. The track is on the doorstep of
the Napa Valley wine country and 20 minutes from San Francisco so there is a
lot to see and do, before and after this race.
Woodburn, OR – June 20-21,
Woodburn Dragstrip "Oldies but Goodies” (CONF.)
A nice track that enjoys having
the Slant Six racers. Friday night test & tune, Saturday is the SL6 points
race and Sunday has an “all Inliner” class.
$10.00 to camp at the track.
Eureka, CA - Samoa Dragstrip
July 11-12, (CONFIRMED)
This will “bee”
the second year for this event and if it’s anything like 2008, it will be a
blast! Samoa is right at sea level and the cars run fast there. Andrew and
Jessica Howard host this race and we do a Friday night team “dinner out” and
then a BBQ on Saturday after the race. If you ever wanted to vacation in
California, this would be a good place to do it.
N. Wilkesboro, NC – July 11 (CONFIRMED)
Ron Hamby is hosting the ever-popular North Wilkesboro, NC race again this
year, Sponsored by Empire Chrysler, this race will be co-headlining with a
Nostalgia Gearjammers race that day. The traditional SL6 (race) car show will
take place at Empire Chrysler, starting around 9 AM Saturday, on the west end
of Wilkesboro, off the main drag. (US 421).
Same program as the “Oldies but
Goodies” event. . Friday night test & tune, Saturday is the SL6 points
race and Sunday has an “all Inliner” class.
$10.00 to camp at the track.
Kearney, NE – August 15-16 (CONFIRMED?)
Mike Jeffrey and Lou Madsen are planning a race for Kearney, NE (Mike’s
home track). The idea is t bring together racers from either end of the
country, to a central location. Based on feedback, it seems likely we could get
12-20 cars together!
Medford, OR – Aug. 29-30
Champion Raceway "Hot Rod Reunion" (CONFIRMED)

bracket racing, free doughnuts and coffee in the morning, free BBQ and a live
band Saturday night and lots of real fast racing action all weekend long.

race would be on Sunday. There was interest in trying for a 2-day race here.
SCT sponsorship would be behind the race purse.
Clay City, KY – Oct. 3-4 (Pending)
At this time, we do not have an organizer for this year’s Clay City,
Mountain Park Dragway Mopar event. The dates will probably be the same as the last
few years and our race would be on Saturday. There was interest at the banquet
in making this a 2-day race. SCT sponsorship would most likely be behind this
race purse. Let us know if you can help.

The 2009 SSRN
