The BackYard Series; A series designed for the “Saturday Night Racer”. Low gate and entry fees!
Attention SR Champ, Hooligans, and Stock Flathead drivers, we will no longer offer these classes due to lack of participation.
Parking will be free and on a first come basis except for the 20 Sponsorship Parking Spots.
Although we will put all our effort to make the racing surface on the "wetter" side, as time as told, we don't always succeed. BUT, we will start later and keep the track disc all week to allow more water to get in the dirt. A kart will not hit the track before 5pm.
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.
Drivers NOT eligible to compete in the BackYard Series:
-If you have won a Maxxis National race in an Adult class
-If you won $2,000 or more in a single Adult race.
-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.
BackYard Series Details:
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.
-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.
*You must attend at least 2 out of the 6 races to eligible to attend the BackYard Nationals. The only exception to this rule is a parent of a BackYard Jr driver can compete if their child entered in at least 2 BackYard Series races. We will be offering great monies at low entry fees as a way for us to give back to you. We will also bring back the “Never Won” class at the Nationals.
