Mark you calendars. These are two great tracks and Bob and AJ are great people, they are not doing this for the money, they are doing it for the racers.
After many months of planning Casini Race Promotions and Bob George Racing are excited to announce the 2014 BGR Championship Series. The BGRCS will consist of two racing weekends with a points race on Saturday and another on Sunday.
The event schedule is:
June 14-15
'The Pittsburgh Showdown'
Pittsburgh Raceway Park in New Alexandria, PA
August 16-17
'The 10th Annual Curt George Memorial'
Quaker City Dragway in Salem, OH
We are pleased to bring this series to a start and look forward to a great 2014 season. The series is putting the racers first with GUARANTEED payouts and a Year end points fund for the top 5 finishers in the class. Something new for the racer, Win 2nd Rd and get PAID!!!!! More Money in more racers pockets. No longer do you have to win 4 or 5 rounds to get paid.
The classes are much like you remember from the previous Curt George Memorial Races: Pro, Super Pro, Sportsman and Q16. We will be introducing a Nostalgia Super Stock Class, which will be open to all makes and models. The rules are being finalized for this class but if you have a 1972 or older racecar which looks period correct you are in. All other classes of competition will be Mopar powered vehicles only.
At this time we would like to say Thank You to Bud's Auto Sales located in Beaverdale and Indiana, PA for stepping up to sponsor the NSS Class. The Bud's Auto Sales NSS will feature some of coolest cars from the 60's 70's.
There will also be HEMI shootout. This will be a separate NO ENTRY FEE eliminator for all HEMI powered vehicles already entered in NSS. This will be a bracket style race.
The purse for each class with the exception of sportsman will pay $1000 to the winner GUARANTEED and will pay round money to each competitor advancing past the second round.
The purse for the Sportsman Class will pay $500 to the winner GUARANTEED and will pay round money to each competitor advancing past the second round.
PRO/SP/SPRT will have Re-Entries available if you happen to be a first round runner up. The Re-Entries in each class will run each other in a separate round with the winners advancing to the second round of the respective class. There will be no Re-Entries in the Q16 or NSS classes.
The BGR Championship Series and Casini Race Promotions go one step further for the racers and their families. Saturday Evening there will be a Racers BBQ where we can all come eat, enjoy good company and hear some great stories from our friends and family.
There will be a post race Cornhole Tournament on Saturday night as well. There will be prizes for the finalists in the tournament.
We are currently working on Round Prizes for the Best Losing Package of the round. This is something to soften the blow of having a great run but just being edged out by your opponent.
There will also be a run for the money which will award the top 3 packages.
A flyer is in the works and will be posted as soon as its completed.
Again thank you to our Current Sponsor Bob George Racing and Buds Auto Sales.
We hope you are as excited as we are about bringing these events to you the racers!!! We have a great pair of events planned for you by two great racing families.
