August 22, 2006, New Richmond, WI - Consistent with its mission of saving the
drivers money and providing proper incentives to competitors, The Dirt Track
Racing Association (DTRA) is thrilled to announce huge incentives for its
inaugural end of season finale on September 13th – 16th at Cedar Lake
Speedway. In addition to the previously released format that will
provide fans and drivers more excitement over the 4 day event, the following
three financial components will ensure that Cedar Lake Speedway is the place
to be for all of the areas best dirt track drivers.
The DTRA 100 will pay cash monies of over $105,000 over the 4 days – a 30%
increase from the 2005 Wissota 100.
Drivers will receive FREE entry for their car compliments of Goodyear, Pepsi,
Arnie Ranta Motorsports, Grand Casino Hinckley, New England Coffee, Semple
Building Movers, Rick Gondik Law Office, Badger Excavating, Transport America,

Adding all 3 components together (cash, free entry, and free race product
given away), drivers at the DTRA 100 will receive a whopping 85% MORE than at
the competing Wissota events. Further, as previously announced, drivers
can compete with their existing stock of tires as both Hoosiers and Goodyears
will be allowed at the event. The tire rules as well as other details on
the event are included on the “DTRA 100 FACT SHEET” at http://www.dtraracing.com/the100.aspx
Cedar Lake Speedway drivers will be conducting additional tire tests this
coming Saturday, August 26th with both Goodyears and Hoosiers to ensure that
the tire rule will result in parity between the two brands and provide
competitive racing. Any modifications to the tire rule based on these
tests will be released early next week.
The DTRA 100 weekend will kick off Wednesday evening, September 13th, with a
new class of car making its first appearance at Cedar Lake Speedway. In
addition to the traditional program of Street Stocks and Midwest Modifieds,
Pure Stocks will be added to the race card. Thursday, September 14th
will present heat races for Super Stocks, Modifieds, and Late Models lined up
by a pill draw. Then, following heat race action, the top 18 drivers by
way of passing points will be transferred to the nightly qualifying
feature. Positions 19th through 42nd in passing points will be placed in
a nightly B-feature race. The top 6 in the B-feature will transfer to
the nightly qualifying feature. Thursday’s A-mains will be 30 laps for
late models, 25 for Modifieds and 20 for Super Stocks. The top 8
finishers in Thursday’s qualifying feature will stack the inside 8 rows of
the big dance on Saturday night. Friday, September 15th, will again
treat fans and drivers alike to another full program of heat races (lined up
based on pill draw), a B-feature for drivers in 19th through 42nd, and a main
event in each of the three classes. Again, those finishing in the top 8
spots of the main event on Friday will qualify for the big dance on Saturday
and will fill the outside 8 rows. Saturday night, September 16th, will
present an exciting night of features only with three B features in all three
divisions to fill rows 9-11 of the main event (6 spots) as well as a last
chance race for finishers 3rd through 8th in each B with the top 2
transferring to the main event. Participants will accumulate passing
points in their heat and qualifying features Thursday and Friday. These
points will line up the three B features on Saturday. The last chance
race will be straight up based on the driver’s finishing position in the B
main. The final races of the evening will be a 40 Lap Late Model race,
30 lap Modified race and 30 lap Super Stock event. For additional
