Entry: $5 entry for everyone coming through the door. That entitles you to the food (fried chicken, some sides) and pop. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages($5 cover WILL still apply), but no alcohol please. This is a family oriented event, and there will be kids present.
Races:

Race 1 is $5 entry, race 2 is $20 entry, race 3 (if time allows) is $5 entry. All races will pay 50% to the winner, 25% to the runner up, 15% to the semis (split between the 2 racers), 10% to the quarters (split between the 4 racers). Only race 2 will have buybacks, for $5. We are not looking to make a dime on this. All money will be paid back 100%. If there's anything left after expenses, it will be put into the racing.
Rules: Round 1 in races 1 & 2 will consist of both racers hitting the tree twice as "time trials." Round 2 and on will have no time trials. All rounds with the exception of the final will be best of 3. Final round is best of 5. Race 3 will have 1 time trial in Round 1, with Round 2 and on having no time trials.
How to enter: "Tech cards" will be 50/50 type tickets, different colors for different races. Buy your "tech card" for each race you want to enter. Write your name CLEARLY on the ticket you hand in.
Pairings will be randomly drawn.
Bye runs will be randomly drawn at the beginning of the round.
Racing is off of the handheld button only.
Racing is off of the bottom bulb only.
The tree is full sized, with LED bulbs.
Tree will be in time trial mode, or, as if both racers have the exact same dial in.
Rollout will be able to be set for each racer.
The christmas tree decides all winners, ie, if 2 racers in competition have identical reaction times, the winner is the one whose lane is flashing on the tree.
If the purse allows, there will be a bounty. The bounty racer will be randomly drawn. If the bounty racer wins his/her round, they win the bounty. If the bounty racer's opponent wins, s/he wins the bounty. Email Chuck at brotherhoodracing@yahoo.com if you are going to attend. We need to keep a head count to know how much food to get.
