*TONIGHT* IT'S TIME FOR A SHOWDOWN: SPRINT CAR BANDITS VS. NCRA SPRINT SERIES at SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA SPEEDWAY - April 28th at 7:30pm!
SUNNY and 77° at RACE TIME - PERFECT FOR RACING! TRACK is JUST 100 MILES NORTH of DALLAS and 100 MILES SOUTH of OKC, off I-35!
Here are all the details:
Ardmore, OK (4/28/18) by DarinShort.com. The Texas-based 360C.I. Sprint Car Bandits (SCB) makes its series debut in Oklahoma at the 3/8-mile Southern Oklahoma Speedway *TONIGHT* Saturday, April 28th at 8pm. The event will pay $2,000 to the 25-lap feature winners, $1,000 for second place and pays down generously to $300 to start each event (see below for complete breakdown). All non-qualifiers or non-starters will each receive $100. There is no driver entry fee, no series membership fee and just a $15 draw fee.
But that’s just the half of it.
TONIGHT also marks the first time the Sprint Car Bandits will co-sanction an event with the NCRA Sprint Car Series, based out of Kansas, thus forming a Showdown between the two series. There will be another SCB vs. NCRA showdown on Memorial Day weekend at 81 Speedway.
Sprint car teams not familiar with the SCB series rules should go to www.SprintCarBandits.com prior to arrival for complete rules and procedures information. All Sprint Car Bandits rules will be in effect for this event, with the following notes: there will be no top wing angle rule, drivers can choose dzus or bolted wheel covers, and mufflers are optional. Basically any 360C.I. racing engine or lower C.I. is legal - again, see rules.
Note that all sprint car teams signing in will draw for heat race starting positions, regardless of their engine C.I. displacement (360 or under) and will receive passing points to determine their straight-up from points feature race starting position. All SCB legal teams will compete for the same posted purse regardless of C.I. displacement (360 or under).
The SCB series has a unique rules package that allows teams to use their current equipment (especially in the engine compartment) yet curbing nightly tire expense...which helps equalize the competition, with teams of varying budget sizes. That rules package certainly has the vote of many of the drivers in the region, as 70 competed with the series in 2017!
We also highly encourage drivers that have yet to compete in our series to visit with any of the teams that have. It takes just minutes to make a typical winged sprint car SCB rules compliant.
Between the lower operating cost of the SCB series and the addition of sponsor funds into nightly purses, it is allowing more area race tracks to book events - which all translates into area fans getting to see quality sprint car race at a typically lower grandstand ticket price.
When you combine those components with lower nightly competitor operating purses, it all equals one thing: the Sprint Car Bandits series!
Details are posted at the track website, listed below. The first green flag TONIGHT Saturday April 28th is slated for 7:30pm.
