Day). Doors will open at 8:00. Off-road program starting at 10:00 in the
morning (3 heats and mains), followed by an oval program in the afternoon at
3:00 (3 heats and mains).
Kind of like an outdoor version of the Turkey Day Classic. We will combine the points from both programs and hand out trophies to the top 3 for the day. $20 for the day or $12 for just one program. Second classes $5. Half price for those that come out and race Friday night oval (May 28) or Sunday off-road (May 30). We will even fire up the grill and do lunch with some dogs and drinks. As noted above, we will run our regular race programs on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. The Memorial Day Marathon is in addition to our regular race programs.

Big week of racing here at BFG:
Wednesday night - 6:30 - 2 heats and mains. Last Wednesday night for the 1/8 electric promotion. Race 1/8 Electric free as a second class, half off if it is the only class you run. Friday Night Under the Lights - 7:00 - 3 heats and mains. This is not a points race. $14 race fee ($2 off if you raced Wednesday night, Slashes $5 if you are registered and paid for the Slash Bash on Saturday night.) Saturday - 11:00 - 3 heats and mains. This will be our last Saturday race day. After looking at the attendance, the number of non-race days due to conflict and the fact that Nitro Sundays did not happen, we will be moving our race days to Sunday at 1:00 after this weekend. ($2 off if you raced Wednesday or Friday, 1/2 price if you raced Wednesday and Friday, Slashes $5 if you are registered and paid for the Slash Bash Saturday night.) Saturday - 6:00 - Slash Bash III - 3 heats and mains, trophies, pizza and pop. $20 entry fee for first class, $10 for second class. SC10s welcome to run in the mod class. Whew!!! I think that covers it all. More racing and fun than anyone ought to be allowed to have in one week. See you at the track!!!

06/17/2009 Due to the MORL race in Jones on Saturday,
June 20 and the fact that there was not much of a turnout at BFG on the Saturday
of the race in Litchfield, we will be moving the race day to Sunday. Being Fathers Day, Fathers race for half price and kids race for free. (The half off coupons will not stack with this special, and yes, it must be YOUR kid.) Ok, got the puddles off the track and according to the radar, everything has
moved through and there is nothing behind it. Right now I would say it is 50/50
as to whether we can race outdoors tonight. Right now the track is too wet to
walk on wearing shoes. Marshaling would be a nightmare and tires would load up
big time. John "T-Devil" DeMeester We are running INDOORS tonight.
06/02/2009 The forums are up and users are now able to make accounts again. All previous users will need to make new accounts, thank you.
