Over $30,000 Up For Grabs in Inaugural Fall Fling at Salina Speedway October 7-8
by Dusty Wiegert
SALINA, Kan. -- With the regular season out of the way the attention of race fans and drivers now turns to the Salina Speedway for the inaugural Fall Fling on Friday & Saturday October 7-8, 2011.
A total purse of over $30,000 is scheduled to be paid out in six divisions of racing over the two day special.
The Belleville Motorsports Modifieds, Xtreme Motorsports B-Modifieds, Coors Light Stock Cars, and Blind Pig Sports Lounge Hobby Stocks will all be in action both days of the event, while the Accurate Electric Compacts will race Friday night and the Auto House Mod Lites on Saturday.
Amongst the over 150 pre-entries so far are two National Champions and multiple Regional and State Champions in all divisions.
Drivers will draw for starting positions in Friday night's heat races. The top fifteen cars in overall passing points will then run an A Scramble, of which the top six drivers will earn starting spots for positions one thru 6 for Saturday night's Championship Feature.
Drivers will once again draw for starting positions for Saturday night's heat races. The top six cars in overall passing points from those heats will make up positions seven to twelve for the Championship Feature. The drivers who haven't qualified will then run Last Chance races, lined up by combined passing points from both night's heat races, to fill up the twenty car field.
Two provisionals will also be given for the Championship Features. One will go to the driver with the most passing points not already in the race, and the other will go to the driver in each class who towed the longest distance from home.
The Belleville Motorsports Modifieds will be running for $2,500 to win and $200 to start. The Xtreme Motorsports B-Modifieds and Coors Light Stocks Cars will each be running for $1,200 to win and $100 to start, while the Blind Pig Sports Lounge Hobby Stocks will be competing for $700 to win and $75 to start. The Accurate Electric Compacts will race for $300 to win and $60 to start on Friday night while the Auto House Mod Lites will run for $1,000 to win and $100 to start on Saturday night.
Thursday October 6 will also be an open practice night beginning at 6:00PM for all divisions. Admission to the grandstands is FREE and to the pits is $10. The concession stand will also be open until 8PM on practice night.
On Friday October 7 the Pit Gates will open at 4:30PM, with Grandstands at 5:30PM, Hot Laps at 7:00PM, and Racing at 8:00PM.
Saturday will kick off early with a special lunch for racers and fans from 12:00PM to 2:00PM. At 2:30PM the Pit Gates will open with Grandstands opening at 3:30PM, Hot Laps at 5:00PM, and Racing at 6:00PM.
