Does anyone have start time information for this race? Is it at the fairgrounds? And it is sidexside, correct?

I know its sidexside with the midstates lights.

Check in 10am-1pm race starts @ 2pm at the fair grounds

Just making sure, does side x side mean double elimination or side x side timed? For the open class, is there going to be any cool down time allowed for the trucks, if it's double elimination? Chance to fill up gas/alcohol?

Side x Side Double Elimination. Usaully you have some cool down time from round to round, but you can also request an additional 5 minutes for repairs, fuel or cool down.

We have been getting a few questions regarding the rule differences for this race. Example - Midstates require a roll cage and Transmission Sheild in Super Stock and Custer County does not.

Since this race is endorsed by both Midstates and Custer County the rules do allow other exceptions then stated above. The original post was meant for the Midstates racer, so they know that they can run a larger tire or cuts for this race.

As far as Custer County racers, if you meet your respective rules for your organization you will race in the most comparible class. Custer County's Modified Stock is our Sportsman and Super Stock is our Super Stock. The only real difference will be in our Street Rod class. Those trucks need to be small block only, no big blocks in that class.

Well i plan on making the trip up that way. See you all there. oh ya one quick question are they runnin atvs to?

No ATV's
