Let's go racin' Chillicothe-style!

Thanks to Scott Wolfe for this installment of At the Track.

On Saturday, October 8, K-C Raceway will host the final “Warm up to the DTWC,” featuring AMRA Late Models at $2,000 to win / $200 to start, and the AMRA Road Warrior Advanced Services Modifieds paying $1,200 to win along with Hobby Stocks.

Last week rain postponed the event. The fun-filled Saturday night will be a significant factor in determining the 2011 track champions as tight battles prevail across the board in all divisions. K-C’s last sprint race saw Danny Smith take the track championship over Jimmy Nier in a race that Powell, Ohio’s Todd Kane won.

The American Motor Racing Association season is winding down and another exciting racing season is now, even more so, headed to a dramatic climax. The AMRA national points champion has been decided, with Kenny Johnson narrowly claiming the title over Andy Bond, 1240 to 1223.

The Road Warrior Challenge series title is ultra close. Additionally, more than 30 drivers are vying for money positions in the AMRA standings.

Plans are in the works to possibly reward drivers not in the top 30 with contingency prizes. More details on that will be announced soon, along with banquet information. The Banquet will be Saturday, November 12.

K-C Raceway will host the AMRA Road Warriors Saturday, Oct. 8 in the season finale for the series. Not only is this event important in the realm of the AMRA points, but also the event will be a final prelude to the Dirt Track World Championship modified event, coming October 13,14 and 15.

Because AMRA Late Model Points have ended, drivers DO NOT have to purchase an AMRA License, however, Modified drivers must abide by AMRA licensing requirements. Late Models will run under the AMRA rules package.

The grand-daddy of mega-races, the Dirt Track World Championship or DTWC, will come to town in another week. The Dirt Track World Championship pays $50,000 to win for Late Models and $3,000 to win for Modifieds.
