There will be three 'qualifying sessions', where the track is cleaned/prepped for the registered Quick 8 participants. Only the ETs run during these three qualifying passes will count toward the $1000 Quick 8. As stated earlier, the track is open all day to all paid racers, so any registered Quick 8 participants can make shakedown passes between qualifying sessions.

                  Just curious, is $1000 payout really enough motivation? I mean you have to win, and in reality it must cost close to that to just go and race. Depending on how far you drive.
                  It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

                      Why not...how many years have people raced heads up for trophys and jackets...at least you have a chance to offset some costs ( fuel!!! ) that seems to be the killer these days.

                        I had a great time at TOP END DRAGWAYS this past weekend. I want to say thanks to Ethan for putting the race together, Charlie the track owner for some great track prep the sponsers for putting up some money to win and of course captain Ron and Jesse nelson for the help with my car. As far as motivation goes I would have made the trip just to stand on the throttle one more time before winter and the 1000 dollars was just a bonus
