It should be a fun and interesting night for both the drivers and fans. Going “Topless” will give the fans a chance to get a view of their favorite drivers unlike they have ever had before. It will also be interesting to see if the removal of the roof and other panels will affect the handling of the cars and maybe give a chance to some teams who don’t normally get a chance to run near the front. Only time will tell, so come on out to Big Diamond this Friday, it should be a wild ride!
Rules for this event are: Door post, Roof and Windows must be removed. This will be a full points event. A draw will take place for the heat races and the feature will start heads up from the heats. All other Big Diamond Modified 358 rules apply. The feature event will start 24 cars.
