The Mid-Michigan Motorplex to Host 4th Annual Toys for Tots Benefit Drag Race
Stanton, MI - Affordable heads-up sportsman racing, "instant green" starts, and good times are on tap for Saturday, October 8 at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex. Proceeds from this exciting and fun day of drag racing will go directly to Montcalm County Toys for Tots to kick off their 2005 fund raising season. Local volunteers will also be on hand to accept toy and cash donations for this worthwhile cause. U.S. Marines will be present to raise the Stars and Stripes.
"The car count for this event has doubled since it's inception" says event coordinator Doug Dornbos from RunWhatYouBrung.com, "but more importantly, we've been able to triple our donation to Toys for Tots".
Cars, motorcycles, and snowmobiles are all welcome to compete. If a racer loses a round, they are not eliminated. Every racer can compete all three rounds winning 3, 2, 1 or 0 out of three for the day. Each competitor races only the racers nearest themselves in the qualifying ladder regardless of vehicle type and all racing is done heads up with an "instant green" (no amber lights) Christmas tree which closely mirrors a true street race, relieves racers of the worries of a red light, and puts everyone is on a level playing field.
Time trials start at 11 a.m., racing starts at 2 p.m. and is projected to finish by 5 p.m. Adult admission is $12, children 11 and under get in for free, crew members get in for half price. Racers fees are $39. Students get a 25% discount (for either spectating or racing) with school I.D. All racers receive a Tee Shirt for entering the race.
