WORLD FOOTBRAKE CHALLENGE - $50,000 TO WIN AT BRISTOL DRAGWAY
and Steve Stites announced today that they will
be taking a step out from
behind the wheel and into the tower at Bristol
Dragway next April 13-15.
The duo has teamed to promote the greatest
Footbrake event in history at
the beautiful Bristol Facility, headlined by an
unheard of $50,000-to-win
main event Saturday April 14. In addition to the
marquee Saturday
competition, the World Footbrake Challenge will be
book-ended by a pair of
$10,000-to-win events, making the total purse for the
event well over
$100,000.
“Steve and I are racers--and Footbrake
racing is what we live, eat, and
breathe everyday,” said Pennington. “We
were at a race a while back, and
we were thinking; ‘Man, wouldn’t it be cool
if we got to run for 50 grand?’
It’s never been done before, and we didn’t
figure any of the regular tracks
or promoters would ever give it a shot...
So we decided to put it together
ourselves. I have no doubt that come April
we will have the best Footbrake
event ever--the only bummer for Steve and I
is that as promoters we
obviously won’t be competing ourselves!”
The
World Footbrake Challenge boasts a huge cash purse, all for a weekend
entry
fee of just $800. Plus, event promoters are offering a special
pre-entry
discount: All pre-entries received before February 1, 2007 will
receive their
run cards at the discounted price of $675. What’s more?
Pre-enter before
November 1, 2006 and get that same discounted $675 price,
plus a free weekend
crew pass. The event must have 125 pre-entries, or it
will be
cancelled.
The Coalburg Racing Promotions duo of Pennington and Stites
also assure
competitors that the cash purse will be augmented by a host of
special
prizes. “We wanted to go ahead and get the flyer out, to let
everyone know
that this event is for real,” said Pennington. “But we’re in
the process
of securing sponsorship that will make the race even better for
the
competitors.” In addition to the over $100,000 guaranteed purse, the
duo
plans to give away at least $15,000 in prizes for all types of
rewards.
“We’re working to have a little something for everyone: the guys or
girls
who win the big money won’t be the only people leaving with smile on
their
face.” To keep up-to-date with the event’s growing prize pool, check
