Join us once again for one of the most anticipated events of the offseason! The format remains largely the same, but here’s everything you need to know for what is shaping up to be another amazing year:

⸻

16 and Under Race

Returning again this year is the race exclusively for participants aged 16 or younger.

Details:
	•	Entry Fee: $10 (up to two entries allowed; first-round buybacks available)
	•	Payout: 100% payback, plus the winner earns an entry into the Main Event

⸻

Main Event

The Main Event will feature:

	•	Race Structure: Four colors of Box and four colors of No Box. No Box will run separately until one No Box driver remains. That winner earns a $500 bonus and will merge into the Box side.
	•	Payouts: Guaranteed $2,500 to win, with round money starting once we go on the ladder at 16 total entries. If a No Box racer reaches the ladder before the field is down to one, they will receive round money in addition to the No Box bonus.
	•	Entry Fee: $25 per entry, with $10 first-round buybacks available.
	•	Eligibility: Open to all ages.

⸻

Live On Shootout

We want to thank everyone who proudly represented the Live On logo throughout the year. This free-entry race is our way of giving back to those who carried our message.

Details:
	•	Entry Fee: Free (limited to participants who ran the Live On logo on their vehicle in the past year)
	•	Format: Single-entry, no buybacks

Sign-up details will be announced during the event—listen for the call!

	•	16 and Under Race: 12:00 PM

Raffles, Awards, and Giving Back

We’ll continue our tradition of giving back and celebrating perseverance:
	•	Raffles &amp; 50/50 Drawing: All proceeds will benefit the Jimmy V Foundation.
