For any of you that may not be sure of what the 2nd Chance is- We have been listening to our racers and in trying to give them what they have been asking for, we started a New Format on the Mega 10 Race this week. Instead of a 2 day weekend, we now have a 1 day- 2 race event and the turn out was really good. The first race is Top Eliminator. We are paying out more places than any we've ran before, but also when money rounds begin we start another race- A SECOND CHANCE............ $25 to enter and all racers in money rounds of T.E. get in 2nd chance FREE!!!!!! One winner- WINNER TAKE ALL for this race. Oh and did I mention that all races were guaranteed?
Listening to feedback at the track Saturday night, it seemed to be very well recieved.. But please let me know your opinion of it. Either here, or email. As always- our racers opinions matter......
 
GREAT NIGHT EVERYONE!!!! Congratulations to all.....  
 
But who is going to break Allen's winning streakHuh?? Shocked

Although this was hard to deal with, we were able to step up to the plate at the track & we had a GREAT DAY Saturday- I hope that everyone who attended agrees.  We had a few mishaps through out the race, and a light shower, but nothing could stop us. Thanks to Ben Willis and Mike Young for helping out in the tower instead of running the race as they had planned. Ben did a really great job filling in for Bucky to help get us through the race.  Mr. Pennington- who built the racing system used by us and many others- also was on hand to help us out. Ben, Mike, Mr. Pennington, Ashley and myself were able to pull it off- (although not as good as Bucky and Judy would've I'm sure.)

We are always disappointed when this happens, but especially last night because we had one of the best turn outs we've had in a while.  We had racers still coming through the gate all the way until Bucky finally had to call it. And racers were calling us every few minutes to see if were going to run or not. They were ready to come if we were able to run.

Everyone wanted to race.

It finally seemed to quit and the sky had cleared a little about 7:00, but we were watching the satellite online in the tower and knew there were several more bands coming in. That was when the decision was made that we would not get to run. It turned out to be a good call.  As we were leaving the track about 9:00 it started pouring again, and rained most of the night.

This race has been rescheduled for July 26.

Keep check on the schedule @www.chiltondragway.com for more updates.

Our main attraction for the day will be Alcohol Funny Cars- you can't miss them. Monty Todd & John Sullivan- Need I say more?

But from there the list is gettting bigger and better daily.

We are going to have Chilton County Cruisers on site. These are some of the best looking antique vehicles you could hope to see.

We are having a Live Band - Stone Heart- from 8-12 . They play a mixture of Country and  Southern & Classic Rock.  A little something for everyone.

West Chilton Fire Department will have many informative demonstrations going on- including a blood pressure check station.

And we haven't forgotten the youngest (or youngest at heart) members of your pit crew.  THE PIT STOP is being set up to make sure they have a good time also. Games, Prizes, a Moon Walk, and a Dunking Booth.  Arm Bands or tickets will be available to keep them entertained throughout the day.

Adult volunteers will be allowed to be in the dunking booth, so bring a change of clothes. And think of who you would like to dunk. You can call them out on a challenge. But BEWARE. You may be the one called out to be dunked. Exspecially those of you who "don't play well with others".
(Personally, I'm wondering how much each of you would be willing to pay to dunk a certain track manager????)

The Concession Stand will have all it's usual great food- hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken finger- but we also have popcorn, boiled peanuts, pickles, candy, cold drinks and SNO CONES. Many flavors of ICE COLD SNO CONES..... and much more.

And the POSSIBILITY of a VERY SPECIAL ATTRACTION  coming from where you would least expect it..........

just a hint- look up-


And of Course---- DRAG RACING------

We've got it. We will have all the drag racing you can handle.

Heads Up (all door cars) 4.90  6.0  7.0  and YES- EVEN  8.0 and if that's not enough racing for you- we're also having a "Top Eliminator".

So Much Racing and Entertainment for only $15.00 Admission- Can you stand it???

We had test & tune Sunday June 8. There was a NICEEEEEEEEe Pro Mod that showed up to test with us.  We hope to see him back to race with us real soon...

I was real excited to see my husband, Chris, back out on the track after many years. He brought out a 1933 Chevy truck, belonging to track owner Jerry Adams and ran a few test runs. We're hoping to see it July 5th in the Heads Up Race.
