2021 BackYard Series Race #1 on May 1st. New Tires to be introduced for the Series!!

For race #1, we are paying out up to the top 10 in all classes except the points classes. The points classes will remain the same as posted. We are not doing the "paying a spot for every 3 karts. We are paying up to 10 places. For example, if a classes has 10 karts, all 10 karts will receive a payout. If a class has 6 karts, all 6 karts will receive a payout.

One more thing; we cannot find a good date for the banquet so we are just going to give out awards at the track this Saturday.

ATTENTION: The tire rule for the 2021 BackYard Series will be the HBM Reaper Tire. These tires are new on the market and will be available at the track on April 10th. No one can purchase these tires prior to that date.


The tires will sell for $100 a set. YEP, you read that right; $100 per set. No one has had the opportunity to test or work on these tires. It will be an equal field for everyone. Come early and purchase you a set or two and let’s go racing!!

More information will be released for the tires in the next week or so. Stay tuned!!

The BackYard Series; A series designed for the “Saturday Night Racer”.

In the last few seasons, we attempted to make the racing surface on the "wetter" side, as time as told, we didn’t always succeed. The Black Widow loves her some speed but we will do what we can to make it a fun track to race on but we will not advertise a “WET” track.

**Hobby drivers; please read the rules posted at the end of the post. I few of the rules have been modified.

We will be giving away Leather Jackets to the champions in this Series
. Your class must average 8 karts in all series races except for Red Plate, Green Shrimp and Blue Shrimp. We guarantee leather jackets in the Jr classes. If you class does not average 8 karts, we will give you the options to pitch in the buy the jackets.

As previously stated, this Series is for the Saturday night racer. Our goal for this Series is to promote new drivers, inexperienced drivers, low budget drivers, returning drivers and just “wanna have fun” drivers. We want to give these types of drivers an avenue to gain knowledge and experience to hopefully one day be able to compete at a higher level.

We will sell some front stretch parking for sponsorship, but most parking is on a first come basis at NO COST.

Sponsorship Parking will be $100 a spot. This covers your parking for the entire series except the BackYard Nationals. Parking for the BackYard Nationals will be separate and will be sold prior to the race.

Text Terry @ (910)751-2694 for parking!!

Drivers NOT eligible to compete in the BackYard Series:

-If you have won a Maxxis National race in an Adult class in the last 5 years
-If you won $2,000 or more in a single Adult race in the last 5 years.
-If you have won a Championship in an Adult class in the Tri-State Series
-A JR driver cannot run in a JR class if they have won a Maxxis National race, a JR Maxx Daddy race, a Tri-State Championship or have won more than $1,000 in a single JR race. However, the driver can participate if the non-qualifiers were won as a JR driver but is now running in Adult classes.

Also as previously stated, we will keep a wet track for this series. We feel by keeping the track on the wetter side takes away the advantage of having 3.2 billion tires in your trailer. It will also keep you from having to have 6 month tires, 3 month tires, new tires, 90cc tires, 120cc tires, re-rolls, and so on. A wet track levels the playing field. So, if you don’t like running on a wet track, please stay away from our BackYard Series. We are not talking about mud racing but, if the track becomes dry during race night, the water truck will come out.

BackYard Series Details:

-This will be a 6 race Series and it will be points racing with one drop. A 5 point bonus will be given to drivers that competed in all 6 races.

-Points are awarded for the best 5 out of 6 races. You are allowed one substitute driver.

-The top 3 in each class will be invited to the yearend banquet where awards and prizes will be given out. The awards will be determined by the level of participation.

We will only run 15 classes and practice will start in the evening. This will be a true “Saturday Night” under the lights racing program. Red Plates will run a heat race. Race #1 in the Shrimp classes will run also run heat races. All other classes will qualify.

We are getting closer to race #1 on April 10th and we cannot be more excited to debut our new Reaper Tire. They are only $100 for a complete set and will be available for purchase at the track on April 10th.

We have a few sponsorship parking spots remaining. They are $100 and covers your parking for the 5 race series (excludes the BackYard Nationals).
 
Will there be a limit on tires for each class or for the race itself?
If your asking will there be a limit on how many tires you can buy, yes. We will allow you to buy a set of tires for each class you are running. After we close registration, and if there are any tires left, you can purchase as many as you want.

You will be able to run the same set as many times as you choose, or buy more for future races. You DO NOT have to run the same set of tires or buy new ones every week.
 
For race #1, we are paying out up to the top 10 in all classes except the points classes. The points classes will remain the same as posted. We are not doing the "paying a spot for every 3 karts.
