PRACTICE TONIGHT! NOT open to the general public. So you better be holding a tire guage and have a driver to vouch you in!
$50 per car, crew free.
----------------------------
This coming Saturday night (Feb 28th) at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track just north of Fort Worth at the intersection of I-35W and Hwy 114, the SUPR Late Models will start their 2009 season with a bang as they headline the Texas World Dirt Track Championship!
Late Models pay a $100 entry fee with pit passes selling for $30. The A main pays $400 to start
with all but 2 of the A-main starters getting at least $500! Non-qualifiers get $50 back. Here's the pay out:
There may be a limited number of spots left in the asphalt pit area. Those cost $100, first come, first serve and it's good from Thursday through Saturday. No extra fees for camping in a vehicle that is pulling a race car. Other RVs can camp at the track near the showers at a cost of $50 for the weekend. Thursday is a practice night. That costs $50 per car while pit passes are free on Thursday. Late Models do not race on Friday but Modifieds and Limited Modifieds do. Late Models WILL PRACTICE on Friday night between the Modified races. Pit passes on Friday cost $25 or you can buy a 2-day pass good for both Friday and Saturday for $50.
The rest of the pitting spots are in the grassy parking areas behind the dirt track pits and come at zero cost. Just buy a pit pass and pay the entry fee. Should the ground become wet, that pitting area will be moved to the paved spectator parking area on the front stretch side.
Grandstand on Saturday costs $15 for adults and Kids under 12, $5. (Sorry, no coolers allowed in grandstands.) You will see a complete SUPR Late Model show -- heats with passing points, B-mains and and a 40-lap A-main around the big 4/10 mile oval along with 8 qualifying races each for Modifieds and Limited Modifieds. The top 2 cars from each of those advance to the A mains. Modified A main pays $3000 to win and the Limited Modified A-main will pay $2000 to win. Houston's Howard Willis is one racer who plans on racing all 3 classes and if he can win them all, he collects $8500!
There is NO charge this year for paved spectator parking! Here's the schedule:
