Ideas for a Kid's Class at Friendship Raceway

Braxton Sukosd at Friendship Raceway

Morning everyone!

For a few years now, we have been bouncing around the idea of having a Kid's Class at Friendship Raceway.   Not so much a JR Dragster class, because we have a few kids that like to run quads, and go-carts, but a Kid's Class for kids to run whatever they have!! I would love to be able to put on a full kid's race at least once or twice a month.... 

If your child, or someone you know may be interested, please, email April at info@friendshipraceway.org

I would like to put enough kids together to be able to get them some trophies!  Thanks!  -April

**********UPDATE:  I talked to a few interested parents this afternoon and one of them showed concern about the different speeds and performance levels of kids involved. And I just want to let everyone know, that if kids show up with go-carts, dragsters, quads or other vehicles that run varying speeds, we can run a Dial-In race for them.  (FYI:  Dial-In Races are about running closest to your Dial.  In this kind of a competition, cars can run one at a time.)

Happy Father's Day From Everyone at Friendship Raceway!

NEW Trophy/Street Class being implemented into our race program - starting this week!

 ATTENTION ALL STREET CARS:  You will be happy to learn that Friendship Raceway is now offering a Trophy Street Class!  NO CAR COUNT MINIMUMS!  $25 to enter.  Winner & Runner-up receive trophies!!!  Plus, we will throw in an extra $125 payout to the top winner if we get 10 or more cars enrolled in that class!!!

Our New Trophy/Street Class will be perminatly added to our Regular Race Program!  The first Trophy/Street Class Race will be held this Saturday, June 18, 2016, during our 4th Annual Father's Day Race!

RACER REMINDER: Double Points Race this weekend!!

This weekend may be your last chance to jump into the points program if you haven't already done so!  With our first DOUBLE POINT RACE coming this Saturday anything could happen!! 
 
The 2016 Friendship Raceway Track Championship Points Program is open to all no-box racers and cost is $25 to enroll!  Each racer in the program will be awarded 1 point for showing up and 1 point for each round of eliminations they win!  The further you make it in the race, the more points you acquire!  The winner of the race will receive 4 points, the runner-up gets 3 and the semi-finalist(s) gets 2 points!  A racer can accumulate anywhere from 1 to 11 points each race (depending on how many rounds there are in eliminations).  This means that a DOUBLE POINTS RACE can render anywhere from 2 to 22 points!!!

As of right now, two racers are tied for the top position of our points program with 20 points: Joe Ochkie and Roy Dunlap, Bob Tharp Sr. is in second place with 19 points, and Curt Baronio is in 3rd place with 18 points!*

Our New ET Slip Printer Arrived Today!

Hey Racers!  You will be glad to know that the new ET slip printer we ordered has arrived!! 

We know it can be annoying when our old printer would stop working on us.  It must have be build in the 90s!

This printer has a sharper look, but, more importantly, it's dependable!  It worked successfully throughout the entire day!
