The Southeast Division Moser Sportsman Shootout will highlight Saturday’s racing action at this weekend’s Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at Silver Dollar Raceway.
The field of 16 drivers was set through a year-long point’s battle and a year-end wild card drawing. The event presents a unique match of NHRA sportsman racers in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster and Top Sportsman in head-to-head competition to see who really is the best of the best.
Steve Furr is pulling double duty for the second year in a row as he has qualified in two different classes. Furr will run in Super Gas, facing off with Howard Day in round one, and will meet up with Larry Roberts in round one of Top Dragster. Newly crowned 2015 NHRA Top Sportsman National Champion Jeffrey Barker qualified in Top Sportsman and will run Sandy Wilkins in the first round.
The Moser Sportsman Shootout is unique in that racers from the seven entirely different class structures will be racing each other. Eliminations will be in a dial-in/breakout handicap format on an eighth-mile. The Christmas tree will be a full countdown mode with the Cross Talk feature not in use.
A $15,000 cash purse is up for grabs with $5,000 to the winner, $2,000 to the runner-up, $1,000 to each of the semi-finalists, $700 to the quarter-finalists and $400 to each of the remaining event qualifiers.
To be eligible for full posted purse qualifier must run the NHRA Moser Engineering Sportsman program decal and Moser Engineering axles and display the Moser Engineering product decal during the Sportsman Shootout Event. Qualifiers not utilizing Moser Engineering axles and displaying the Moser Engineering Sportsman Shootout program decal and Moser Engineering product decal for the duration of the Moser Sportsman Shootout event will receive 50% of the posted awards. Drivers are not required to have Moser Engineering axles to qualify or participate in the program.
