Check out the Big Checks for the ATI BIGFOOT $40K's! Not only is there $40,000 up for grabs for each day's champion, but also a BIG $10,000 payday for the Runner-Up!
Here's a sneak peek at the ATI BIGFOOT $40K's event t-shirts -- another great design by ASI. If you would like to pre-order a particular size, color, or style (ie., hoodies), text Anthony at 910-382-6723 ASAP, as the order will be placed this week. Thanks!

I can make him a specialty award check that says "Most Appearing Driver" because he's been racing longer than the rest of us.
Here’s some track information that may be helpful for everyone planning on joining us at the ATI BIGFOOT 40K’s.
*Track Radio 89.1 *Showers at the track @ 1/8 mile *VP racing Fuels onsite *Early parking Wednesday *Racer appreciation dinner Saturday @ 6:30 *All racer payouts/event apparel etc. @ bottom of tower *PAY AT THE GATE / NO PRE-ENTRY REQUIRED
Who do you think will be hoisting a hefty $40,000 Loose Rocker Eagle trophy next weekend? There are three races, so you get 3 picks! ...aaaaand GO!
I would bet that at least 2 of the 3 races will be won by a racer that is not a constant hi finish FB racer. Always great to see fresh faces in the winners circle.
I like what they did at Carolina Dragway this weekend with keeping cars going down the track in the later rounds using that Low / Hi roller 32 format.
And if the weekend weather continues the way it has since April 1st in WI, I’ll be watching this race also.

If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong.

Schedule update: We are going to add 1 hour of open time runs from 9am-10am tomorrow (inviting single-entered cars to the lanes first), then we'll start marking run stickers at 10am sharp wherever we are in the line (i.e., not closing off and running out the lanes.) We will be calling cars at 8:40. Be in the lanes ready to go, with two in the puddle doing burnouts at 9am sharp...
The track put on an impromptu gamblers race Thursday night, won by Charlie Lockhart with a 5.930 dead on pass in the finals over Brock Moshier's narrow breakout. The semifinalists were Seth Phillips and Nick Hastings.
The TIBR ELITE Bracket Racer's Test n' Tune was a rousing success with 116 racers testing in full race mode. Dustin Mack laid down a perfect run to earn a new Abruzzi torque converter. Troy Morgan won a scholarship to ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE for the Closest MOV (.001), and the Michael Crass picked up a $100 gift cert for DragRaceSolutions.This message has been edited.

**Saturday Schedule Update**
1 Time Trial for everyone at 9am sharp. (Only 1 TT for each car&driver combination, i.e. 1 driver doubled in the same car gets 1 TT)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Michael Beard,
