Race #4 of the BackYard Series @ Triple T on June 22nd

Race #4 of the BackYard is Saturday June 22nd.

With all the effort we put into the track to make it a “wetter” track, we still failed. This week, we will disc the track to get more water deeper so be prepared.

**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 10 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 10 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.

Since Flatheads were a staple engine in Karting for many years, we have decided to add the Stock Flatheads to the BackYard Series!!

Low gate fees ($8), low entry fees and NO reserve parking at the BackYard Series. First come, first pick!!

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.

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 10 point bonus will be given to drivers that competed in all 6 races.

-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.

-At every driver’s meeting, new tires will be given away by a random drawing of drivers that are entered into at least one class.

-Bonus prizes will be awarded at the banquet. For every class you enter throughout the 6 race series, you name will be put into a hat. At the yearend awards banquet, we will draw names and those lucky winners will receive HUGE cash and other awards. So, the more races and classes you attend, the more of an opportunity you have of cashing out!! There will be a separate drawing for the Junior classes. Meaning, there will be awards for Junior Racers and Adult Racers.

We will only run 13 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.
