By: Kevin Ramsell
Tuesday, October 10, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – The internet chatter has been
going on for months. The creative ideas have been passed along and
everyone got their schedules organized. What are they getting ready
for? They are preparing for the 15th Annual Bahama Bracket Nationals
this Saturday and Sunday at the Rockford Speedway.

Midwest. The event is open to Mid-American, Mid-American Trucks, Midwest

Hobby Stocks, Enduro, Hornet, Pro-Am, Bronco, Bomber, Thunder Stock, Slammer,
Warrior, Pure Stock and Modifieds. Don’t see your car on the list,
call and ask it may be eligible to run.
All cars will qualify and be placed in a bracket based on their qualifying
time. No car can qualify faster than 14.300 seconds. If a car
qualifies exactly at 14.300 seconds, they will receive a $100 bonus.
During the racing event, they cannot exceed their time by more than :00.200
seconds. If they do, the driver has broken out from their time and
disqualified from that race.
