We're just a few weeks away from the 11th Annual Hot Shot's Secret St. Patrick's Classic at Virginia Motorsports Park. It's Loose Rocker's biggest event of the year, and everyone is welcome!

The weekend's main events are the same affordable 5K/10K/5K for $290 that you know and love, with the same program for both Footbrake and Top E.T, with $100 Round Money all three days and thousands of dollars in prizes. As always, there's NO Pre-Entry! You keep YOUR money in YOUR wallet until race day. "NO Pre-Entry" doesn't mean "pay more at the gate": the Weekend Entry discount is available to EVERYONE right at the gate!

Don't forget about the TWO new Pot O' Gold Shootouts on Thursday! The Footbrake 48 clash for $2,000, and Top E.T.'s battle royal for $7,000 is limited to the Super 96! No Doubles in the same class, No Buybacks, First Come-First Served, pay at the gate! Win 3rd Rnd and get your money back! VMP will be open early and starting their Test n' Tune at 11am, so plan accordingly! It's the perfect opportunity to get the track time you need early in the year, at the recently crowned Drag Champ Track of the Year!

If you're unable to join us, you can watch live streaming video coverage Fri-Sun from MotorManiaTV.com, presented by Summit Racing Equipment.

The Hot Shot's Secret St. Patrick's Classic is just a few weeks away!

From VMP Manager Tyler Crossnoe:
To everyone racing and waiting to watch Loose Rocker, here’s a little explanation on what the delay is.

Thursday morning, heavy dew and water drinched the racetrack and settled into the rubber causing us fits all day yesterday with a ton of moisture under the rubber and in the air. Last night, we had a large rain storm come through and dumped a ton of water down in a short amount of time, soaking the concrete even more. What we have had to do is scrape all of the existing rubber off the surface to get down to bare concrete and get it dry from the core. Sadly, this process takes a lot of time. Currently, we are rebuilding the rubber base and then we will start laying in glue to make traction for your cars and do that as quickly as possible to get you on the racing surface as safe and as fast as possible.

Again, we apologize for the delay but you can only play the hand you are dealt at the time. Our entire team strives to give you all a safe and enjoyable atmosphere when racing with us at Virginia Motorsports Park.

When you see any of the team around later today, be sure to give them a pat on the back and a THANK YOU. They deserve every bit of it and more.
