Devin in the past we have ran 75 laps, but this year we will run 66 laps in honor of the year eddie was born, we all thought that would be pretty cool. I hope this helps and we hope to see you come run with us.Here in the near future we will start to put a list together of the drivers that have entered the race.THANK YOU
Tony
Ok, I thought that I had remembered correctly that it was 75 laps in the past. But then again I saw how big of a purse there was and assumed it was maybe a 100 lapper. Running 66 laps is a really good idea, it makes the event that much more unique.
As of now you can count us in, maybe we’ll see ya out at Showtime this weekend too!
This is Rich Peters of the Rolling Thunder Modifieds, I spoke to a Florida racer about this race last week and it sounds like a really exciting modified race. I wish all of you the very best of luck and be safe.
The tour heads back to Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NC on September 1st racing with the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series and then to the long awaited race at the newly reopened Southern National Speedway in Kenly, NC. The last time the tour raced there was March 31, 2006 when John Thorpe of Wilmington, NC took the checkers with Larry Penny of Palm Beach Gardens, FL finishing 10th that day.
Again good luck wherever you are racing.
Southern National Raceway has to be the nicest short tracks in the country,the mods should be great there.

Thanks Rich, I know what Florida driver you were talking about, I had the pleasure of getting my picture taken at Bristol with him, in one of your races.
We have decided to sell laps for this race as we have done in the past. There will be 66 laps for sale at 25.00 a lap. The money collected this year will be added to the existing purse of 10,000.00 put up by Showtime Speedway. We would like to give back to the racers this year that have supported this event in the past to show our appreciation for there efforts.If your interested in sponsoring a lap please contact Tony @813-267-3710 or Wayne @ 727-871-1610. We have 50 laps left at this time.
