This race will be in memory of Roger Tripp who spent his whole life living drag racing. He sadly passed away a year ago to cancer. We will be raising money for a child with cancer to go on a last wish trip. We have 4 classes of small tire racing and best of all all 4 classes are FREE buy ins. 12k in prize money and free entry will make this race one you dont want to miss. Details and rules below.
