New Event! The Rumble at Red River March 11th-12th!
Wichita Falls, TX (02/02/16) by DarinShort.com. Red River Speedway (RRS) near Wichita Falls, TX is pleased to announce a new 2-day event on March 11th and 12th called The Rumble at Red River.
The Rumble will feature two separate complete shows for the Texas Outlaw Modified Series (USRA legal Modifieds), plus a two-day special event for IMCA SportMods ($1,500/win), IMCA Stock Cars ($1,200/win; plus RRS-legal Pro Stocks are invited) and Mini Stocks ($500/win; plus Mod4 legal cars are invited).
This will be the second weekend of season opening events at Red River Speedway. March 4th and 5th will feature the RRS RaceSaver Sprint Cars sanctioned through the newly formed Sprint Series of Oklahoma (SSO), the POWRi West Midget Series and the National Open Wheel Series for three 600 divisions.
Back to The Rumble weekend on March 11th and 12th, the pit area opens by 3pm nightly, with the grandstands opening by 6pm on Friday and 4pm Saturday. Races are set to start at 8pm on Friday and 6pm Saturday. All pit passes for all ages are $30 nightly. There are no entry fees due to RRS for the SportMods, Stock Cars or Mini Stocks. The Texas Outlaw Modified Series published purse, entry fee, rules and procedures are in effect. Modified drivers can click www.TexasMods.com for their rules, while all other divisions can visit www.RRSpeedway.com for all details.
Regarding the Modifieds, each night will be a complete racing program, including heat races, B- and A-feature. Fans can expect to see drivers such as Billy Brierton, Bobby Malchus, Brandon Watson, C.A. Nix, Chad Ewell, Chadd Howell. Charlie Smith, Chase Allen, Chris Huckeba, Clyde Dunn Jr., Cody Smith, Colby Smith, Dale Miller, Danny Florence, Harold Winton Sr., Jay Baggett, John Nemetz, John Webb, Josh Landers, Logan Robertson, Michael Baker, Michael Daniels, Mike Dillard, Sam Cox, Shawn Gammage, Tommy Fain, Triston Dycus, Troy Taylor, Wesley Veal plus a host of others.
The SportMods, Stock Cars and Mini Stocks will run qualifying events on Friday night, consisting of heat races and qualifying feature races. An estimated 8 cars, in each division, will lock in from those events for Saturday night, with all remaining cars running B-features.
Saturday night, the SportMods, Stock Cars and Mini Stocks will run B- and A-features (no heats; all cars will race). Any driver not racing on Friday night in these three divisions will automatically be placed at the tail of a B-feature on Saturday night, and if that driver makes the A-feature event, they will race for full purse. If they do not transfer, they do not receive non-qualifier money (since they missed the Friday race).
A great purse structure is in place for The Rumble at Red River. Again, there is NO entry fee due for these divisions. Here are the championship night purse structures:
IMCA SportMods: $1,500 - 1,200 - 1,000 - 800 - 600 - 500 - 400 - 300 - 250 - 200...to start. All two-day non-qualifiers (must race both nights) receive $50.
IMCA Stock Cars (RRS Pro Stock legal cars are invited to race in this division): $1,200 - 1,000 - 800 - 600 - 500 - 400 - 300 - 250 - 200...to start. All two-day non-qualifiers (must race both nights) receive $50.
RRS legal Mini Stocks (and RRS rules Mod4 legal cars are invited to race in this division): $500 - 300- 200 - 180 - 160 - 140 - 120 - 100 - 80 - 60...to start. All two-day non-qualifiers (must race both nights) receive $50.
