Saturday Night Showdown Set for Richmond Raceway This Saturday May 16

Of note, track promoters Larry, Chad, and Sarah Yantz regret to inform everyone that the new clay surface will not be in place for the upcoming racing action, as the company that was set to haul the new dirt to the track got tied up with another contracted job and other available haulers were also already committed to other jobs as well, so the new dirt will not be in place for the May 16 program.  The track regrets this inconvenience and hopes everyone will understand and continue to support Richmond Raceway, as their will be new dirt in place by sometime in June if all goes to plan this go around.   

Richmond Raceway will present the Saturday Night Showdown on Saturday May 16 and the American Dirt Allstars KDRA Super Stocks will compete for $1,000 to win and the Four Cylinder division will compete for $500 to win.  Also in competition at Richmond Raceway on Saturday May 16 will be the Barry Turner of Century 21 Advantage Realty Super Late Models racing for $1,200 to win and the Modified division will also be in action, racing for $800 to win.  Completing the racing program on Saturday May 16 will be the REVELution Race Cars Pro Late Models racing for $600 to win and the Warlock Race Cars Mini-Cup Cyclone division racing for $100 to win.  At the Saturday Night Showdown event, all divisions will utilize the practice/time trials combo format to determine heat race starting positions.

Richmond Raceway uses a transponder scoring system to time and score the cars.  Drivers must pick up a transponder at driver registration ($10 rental fee; $5 if they have their own) and the transponder must be mounted on the right-rear axle tube of the race car.  Also, for a driver to get paid at the end of the night, they must return their transponder when they come to pick up their prize money.  RACEceivers are also mandatory for use at Richmond Raceway in all divisions.
