Remember the NHRA requirement for participation this year is that you must have competed in a minimum of 3 races; and for Race of Champions competitors (top 4 in each class) you must have competed in 4 races.
All of our racers that signed up for points and meet the above criteria are eligible to attend, up to the total car count shown in the table (refer to the '08 Points page for listing).
We need to get a confirmation from all eligible racers who are planning to participate on the Champion Raceway ET Finals Team, by August 20th. email your confirmation to webmaster@championraceway.com
We will post the final list of participants on the 21st.
We encourage all of you that are planning to go to Boise to work together to coordinate your travel plans. Traveling as a group is always more fun - and helpful if someone runs into trouble. A designated parking area for the team will be provided by Firebird Raceway.

For 2008 Keller Motor Supply is sponsoring our 2008 Perfect Light Club. Any racer who gets a perfect reaction time during either time trials/qualifying or eliminations in our ET Championship Series qualifies. They'll receive the following sticker, and we'll have a list of all the winners posted on the website.
Congratulations to our first two winners: Patrick Guido & Denny Gilliland.
We have changed the way we award points in the ET Championship Series. For 2008 we will use the points table for NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, as posted in the rulebook. We've also updated this information under the "Classes" tab on the home page. click here to view the points table.
On April 25th at our first Cascade Block Friday Night Drags race we announced that we would not be tracking points toward a class champion this year, as the cost and time to administer was not offset by a high enough participation level. At that time, a number of you petitioned to keep this part of the program alive, and indicated that there was sufficient interest (30+ people said they wanted points) to make it worthwhile. So, we agreed to move forward with it, with the understanding that you would all sign up for points.
Well, as of today (5/4/08) only 14 racers have signed up, with the following break-down: Hot Rod - 3; Motorcycle - 5; Street DOT - 6. Since we average 70+ racers on Friday night this is only a 20% participation level.
If you truly want this program to continue, you need to get your fellow racers to participate. For those of you who are not aware, winning the points championship gives you free racer entry to the Friday Night Series the following year. Depending on the number of races scheduled, this is worth at least $400.
We also indicated the deadline to sign up was by the race on 5/9/08. You can sign up for points at the front gate ticket booth - ask for the form as you come in, fill it out and return it to the front gate with your $10. So, you still have time to save this program -- get your points form turned in as soon as you come in Friday. We will tally the number we have by the last round of time trials. If we do not have at least double what is in so far we will not run points this year.
Track Rules and Regulations have been updated in several areas. It is important that you all read this information. If you have questions on any of the changes, email manager@championraceway.com. This update also addresses how bye runs will be administered.
The changes are all highlighted in red so it will be easier to see what's changed. To access the Rules and Regulations, either click the "Track Rules" button on the home page, or use the following link: rules.
We will again be running points series for both our Cascade Block Friday Night Drags, and our ET Championship Series races. Top points earners will be crowned season champions in each series, and get free admittance to all the races in their series for the following year. In addition, the Summit ET Finals team eligibility is set based on season points in the ET Championship Series.
If you want to run for points you need to sign up by the second race in the series. Ask for the points signup form at the front gate, fill it out and return it to the front gate with your fee ($10 per series). If you have questions, please contact the track manager.
