Thunder Valley Shootouts drivers will have something else to aim for when the Drag News Tennessee All-Stars event rolls into Bristol Dragway on Saturday, June 9.
The sixth stop on the Drag News All-Star Tour, held in conjunction with the fifth points-paying event of the 2007 Sunoco Thunder Valley Shootouts season, will give racers the chance to compete for extra prize money and special awards.
Upon arrival in Thunder Valley, racers will receive a registration card from Drag News. To be eligible for the special prizes and awards, drivers must return the completed cards to the Drag News Magazine display area. Competition Cams will give each racer a goody bag when they register.
Among the events scheduled to take place is the Comp Cams TCI Bounty Hunter Shootout. Drag News will place a bounty on the racer with the best reaction time in the final run of time trials in the Super Pro and Pro classes. During the event, any driver that can defeat the racer will take home $50 from TCI Automotive and Comp Cams. If no bounty hunter can claim victory, the "bountied" driver will win the $50 prize.
After time trials, drivers may register their dial-in at the Drag News trailer. The driver closest to his or her dial-in during eliminations will receive $50 from Mickey Thompson Tires.
In addition, any driver that wins an elimination round will receive a Dart Machinery Kill Sticker at the E.T. booth. Racers who accumulate at least four stickers at Drag News events during 2007 are eligible to compete for a Las Vegas trip for two during the Super Bowl of Bracket Racing to be held in Indianapolis this fall.
At the end of the day, winners in Super Pro, Pro and Sportsman will receive a custom embroidered champion's jacket and champion decals from Edelbrock. In addition, these drivers will be entered to race for an Edelbrock Power Engine at the Super Bowl of Bracket Racing. The Junior Dragster champions will win custom champion watches from Rislone.
