Check Mapquest: If you live East of the Mississippi, Commerce is a days drive for you!
Cruisin Commerce on Friday night from 6-10pm, with cruising on the main street, VIP hot rod parking, food tents, a beer garden and live music by Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho Devilles! This is being put on for us by the City of Commerceto say they are excited to have us is an understatement.
Saturdays event features race classes for Gasser, Front Engine Dragster, Altered/Comp Coupe, Nostalgia Super Stock, Hot Rod and Muscle Car (1974 and older), with attention paid to the cars looking like theyre from the 60s, not modern Pro style builds.
Heads-up racing with qualifying in the morning, and then the hard cases run a Quick 8 Elimination for $1,000 per class purse money, while everyone else is paired with the car (in class) closest to your ET for a best 2-out-of-3 shootout eliminationsEveryone gets to race all day, nobody gets put on the trailer, nobody gets their doors blown off, and nobody watches staggered-start racing. It should be fun for everyone, whether you run 7 or 17 seconds!
At the end, well take the class winners and the two fastest non-qualifiers from the field for a final Mr. Eliminator.
Tech cards are $50, and gets the driver, your pit kitty and little grease monkeys in.
