To keep this class going we need your help by supporting it by running the races whenever possible, letting others that might be interested in running it know about it, and help us find sponsor support for it.

Please contact Gerald at manager@eddyvilleraceway.com or call him @ 641-780-3534 for any info about possible sponsor support. The purse structure will be announced when we know how much sponsorship we can find.

ATTENTION: JUNIOR DRAGSTER RACERS

Edddyville Raceway Park is considering the following changes to our Junior Dragster program on points race dates for 2013. Please read the following information carefully and send your feedback to Gerald asap to manager@eddyvilleraceway.com or call him at 641-780-3534.

Novice Class
This would be for all 8 and 9 year-olds, and those 10 and up with 1 year or less experience Junior Dragster racing at the start of the season. This class would be about learning and having fun and might not be a points class to reduce the pressure on the kids and enable them to just have fun !! This class would have it's own consi race for 1st round non winners.

Advanced Class
This is for those 10 years-old and up with at least one year of Jr racing at the start of the season. This would be a points class and have it`s own consi race for 1st round non winners.

There would be a run off at the end of the day between the the two class winners (novice and advanced) and each consi winners The final round of the run-off would be the two winners making it two rounds of racing to determine the overall winner for the day. (No points for run off rounds)

We are looking at trophies for each class winner and consi winner, plus special trophy for overall winner. Also cash payout to Advanced class winner and overall winner.

Let us know your thoughts and also looking for a special title for the run off winner.

2013 Auxiliary Pit Vehicle Registration Program

The NHRA West Central Division 5 has chosen to continue the pit vehicle registration program initiated in 2011.  The serialized pit vehicle decals will be accepted at all NHRA Member Tracks throughout Division 5.  Each individual will be required to register all motorized vehicles (not currently licensed through a state department of motor vehicles) with one of the division member tracks.  The Division 5 sticker will also be accepted throughout Division 4 and Division 1 (D1 also requires proof of current insurance).

If you are in need of insurance for your pit vehicle(s) please contact us for more information about a program NHRA has initiated this year.  Insurance can be provided for a $50 annual fee (Jan-Dec) you can have coverage for your pit vehicle at all NHRA Member Tracks & sanctioned events for the current season.
More information to come soon on the new insurance program visit www.nhradiv1.com

The registration process is listed below for your understanding.  Also below is a PDF of the 2013 Registration Form.

Pit Vehicle Registration Process:

1. Competitor must read and complete page one of the 2013 Pit Vehicle Registration Form, accepting all of the rules and regulations set forth.
2. Competitor keeps page two of the 2013 Pit Vehicle Registration Form, “Raceway Auxiliary Pit Vehicle Rules.”
3. Competitor submits the completed registration form and pays the $10 registration fee to an NHRA Division 5 Member Track.
4. Track keeps page one of the 2013 Pit Vehicle Registration Form, and issues a serialized sticker, then completes the serial number section on page one.
5. One form must be completed for EACH vehicle being registered.  (One sticker/serial number per vehicle)   

2013 NHRA Division 5 Pit Vehicle Registration Form

ATTENTION ALL JUNIOR DRAGSTER RACERS

We have adjusted our Junior points race schedule at Eddyville Raceway Park so as to not conflict with the announcement of the dates for the Junior Dragster Western Conference Finals in Denver, CO and the Division 5 Junior Dragster event at Mid America Motorplex in Pacific Junction Iowa. The Jr class will not be run at ERP on June 29 (WCF) or on July 27 (Div.5 race). I would highly encourage our Junior racers to support these events. The experience of the Nationals in Denver is something all Junior racers should have. I would recommend working together with other Junior Dragster racers to make attending the Nationals as affordable as possible by combining race cars into several trailers rather than all racers hauling their own.

We are also still looking for some feedback on ideas you might have for changes to our Junior Dragster program to help build participation at ERP. I believe the announcement from NHRA about the new Junior engine is a step in the right direction but more things can be done. Please call me (Gerald) at 641-780-3534 or email me at manager@eddyvilleraceway.com. I also want to thank TrickTools.com for again sponsoring the class and to Laffoon and Company for their continued support of the class with the Reaction Time contest and more.

ERP will have a special Junior event on June 15 and 16, and will be called the Junior Dragster Hawkeye Nationals. This will be a race that will include big cars and our Street Bike series. On Saturday we will have 4-age groups with the winners of each class winning a NHRA Jr Dragster Challenge Wally. We will have a run off of the 4-age group winners for a very special award TBA. Saturday we will also have a pit vehicle race at the end of the day. On Sunday we will have a bracket class and 3 index classes. Then on October 4,5,& 6 the annual Junior Dragster Halloween Nationals return to Eddyville for 3 days of Junior only racing.

NHRA ANNOUCES NEW ENGINE PROGRAM
FOR JR. DRAG RACING LEAGUE

GLENDORA, Calif. -- NHRA officials announced today a new engine program for the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League with the acceptance of the Briggs & Stratton 206 engine beginning in 2013.

The accepted 206 crate engine must be factory sealed and is approved for all NHRA age groups: 8-9 year old class (12.90-seconds & slower), 10-12 year old (8.90 & slower) and 13-17 year old class (7.90 & slower).  No alterations or modifications are permitted except for installation of exhaust header and air filter.

“We could not be more excited to announce this new program and renewed relationship with Briggs & Stratton” expressed Josh Peterson, NHRA V.P. Racing Administration.  “The program will greatly reduce the entry level costs for families to get involved in the sport and stimulate the growth of the NHRA Summit Jr. Drag Racing League.

Briggs & Stratton launched the 206 crate engine program in 2008 to give racers an out-of-the-box (simple), cost-effective, performance solution.  Building from the proven reliability of the Animal racing engine, the 206 crate engine maintains a level playing field by isolating the performance variables commonly found in standard, mainstream manufacturing.  Each 206 crate engine is hand-built in a dedicate facility to exacting standards and measured against a factory developed rule set.   The end-result is a performance racing engine with the proven repeatability that has led to four years of world-wide wins at the highest levels of racing right out of the box.
   
“We are incredibly excited to once again have the opportunity to work with the NHRA and their Jr. Drag Racing League” said David Klaus, director-Briggs & Stratton Racing.  “As one of the original founding partners we were able to help be a part of the growth of the league as well as get to know the racing families involved.  This sport makes great racers but it also helps make family memories.  That is something that Briggs & Stratton Racing loves to be a part of and we look forward to the future.”

“NHRA’s acceptance of the 206 crate engine is a great opportunity for us to support the league with a new option for cost-effective racing,” continued Klaus.  “Families now have another cost-effective option to help build memories that will last a lifetime.”

For more information and availability of the 206 Engine (part # 124332 8201-01) please visit www.BriggsRacing.com.

Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is the primary sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the United States. NHRA presents 24 national events featuring the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series. NHRA provides competition opportunities for drivers of all levels in the NHRA Summit Racing Series and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. NHRA also offers the Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17. In addition, NHRA owns and operates five racing facilities: Atlanta Dragway in Georgia; Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville in Florida; National Trail Raceway in Ohio; Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis; and Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in Southern California.
