A few of us racer's in Maryland are considering travelling up for it.

Maple Grove web site

Check this out: Non-electronics 8.49 and slower
I haven't been able to find any payout information...

Some other things to note from their web site, "Racers Handbook":

All pit vehicles must carry a NHRA NED pit vehicle sticker. To obtain a sticker, the owner must complete a special waiver and pay the proper fees ($10 for the year).

The use of any temporary or permanent shielding, including paint, that obstructs the driver’s vision that is attached to the helmet, window, windshield is prohibited.

I assume the class rules (except ET cut-off as noted on the flyer) will be the same as their regular bracket races, such as:
Quote:

Pro Eliminator

No electronics (throttle stops / delay boxes / transbreaks) are permitted.

No rear-wheel line locks. A two-step is permitted as a high side rev limiter only.

No Dragsters, Altereds or center steering roadsters permitted. Side steer roadsters are permitted only if they have fenders.

Drivers/racecars running elapsed times of 9.00 – 9.99 seconds must have a NHRA license, membership and all equipment per NHRA rules and regulations and a SFI chassis certification.

All drivers and race cars must comply with NHRA rules and regulations.






tank tops (bare torso) are prohibited in all classes.

Jim,

We will have the payout info posted by the open of the season. If you check back on the Mopar page of our website we will post there as soon as we determine the payout structure. Thanks.

Kind of hard to set plans when you don't know what it costs or what the payout is. Applying for leave from work, losing pay, etc.

Bump up the list.

Does anyone have any payout structure/entry fee info by now?
I checked both the maple grove and mopar action web sites...

A bunch of us in Maryland are trying to decide between the Grove and the Legends event at Maryland International Raceway the same weekend.
