Friday, September 11th kicks things off with the Slow Class Nationals, featuring a 4.60 Break format that puts precision driving front and center. In this style of competition, racers must dial in their runs as close to — but not under — the 4.60-second mark, meaning raw horsepower alone won’t cut it. It takes a masterful combination of reaction time, throttle control, and track knowledge to come out on top, making every single pass a nail-biting moment for drivers and fans alike. Expect a fired-up atmosphere as competitors from across the region battle it out for national-level bragging rights.
Then on Saturday, September 12th, the action continues with a full-on Bracket Race, where drivers of varying experience levels and vehicle classes go head-to-head using a handicap start system. Bracket racing is beloved in the drag racing community for leveling the playing field and putting the emphasis squarely on driver consistency and clutch performance. It’s the kind of racing where an underdog can rise to the top, and every round keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Franklin County 4 Wheelers facility provides a fantastic setting for this style of competition, offering an intimate and exciting race day atmosphere.
