Friday August 17th – With the sunshine we’ve got on the track right now and the promising forecast for the afternoon/evening, it looks like we might actually get a Friday Frenzy in tonight!

Saturday August 18th – “Newbie Night” presented by the North Florida Drift Federation, come watch (or participate!) in some drifting action through our pit area Saturday afternoon and into the evening.  If you’ve ever wanted to see what it’s like to drift or work with some experienced guys to show you the ropes with your car and what you need to do, tonight is your night! Gates open at 3pm and we run to 9pm, Crew/Spectators are $10 at the gate, $40 if you’re planning on whipping your hot rod around the drift course, kids 12 & under free!

Congrats to our new points leaders!

NHRA Summit ET Series

A seven race points series raced on the 2nd weekend of the month at Emerald Coast starting in April and ending in October.  Drivers will be competing for cash payouts on race day and awarded points which count towards a track championship.  Although strongly encouraged, becoming an NHRA member is not a prerequisite to enter the race or our points series.

All NHRA Summit Racing series classes will utilize a .500 full tree. The bye will be determined by best reaction time during time trials or the elimination round prior and will carry over. Buybacks will be “first or” second round buyback and will be reentered into eliminations.

Emerald Coast NHRA Team Code E and EE

10 points will be assessed for breaking the beams in the first round of eliminations and every round win, 5 bonus points assessed to winner, 3 bonus points assessed to runner up, 1 bonus point assessed to semi-finalists.

In order to represent the Emerald Coast Dragway at the Division 2 finals, drivers must participate in three of the six series races between April and September as season points and  team rosters must be submitted no later than the Monday prior to the finals in the first week of October. Entrants must also have a current NHRA membership and Competition Number prior to entry to the event.

This upcoming weekend will be a busy one at the Emerald Coast Dragway! Friday Frenzy, Summit ET Series on Saturday and ECD Moto Days on Sunday, all wrapped up with a $10 Tuesday leading into early next week!

Friday August 10th will be our Friday Frenzy, a well prepped all run all welcome test & tune on Friday night also including the 850 top ten list monthly races! Gates open 5PM, track hot 6PM, sunset 735PM, 850 top ten drivers meeting at 8PM and we race under the lights until 11PM. $15 at the gate for crew/spectators, drivers are $25, kids 12 & under free.

Saturday August 11th is our NHRA Summit ET Series points race! Super Pro ET, Pro ET, Sportsman ET, Motorcycle ET, Grumpys Diesel Jr Dragster ET as well as 5.0/6.0/7.0/8.0 Index classes battling it out for cash purse and series points.  Gates at 3PM, tech inspection 4PM, time shots at 5PM, eliminations to begin 7PM (735pm sunset) and we race until last racer standing in each category. $20 at the gate for crew/spectators, drivers get in w/their tech card, kids 12 & under free.  We have VP racing fuels on hand for everyone and plenty of it! Nitrous fill available at the track as well.

Sunday August 12th is our ECD Moto Days.  Bring your motorcycle, bring your go-kart, bring whatever you want to rip around through the pit roads with. Be there at 9AM, drivers meeting at 945AM, course goes hot at 10AM, ride til 2PM.  Afternoon thunderstorms forecasted so plan accordingly w/travel plans for those of you heading our way on 2 wheels without a trailer.  $40 to ride, $10 to watch, kids 12 & under $20 to ride or free to watch.  

Ten Dollar Tuesday returns Tuesday August 14th!  $10 gets you in the gate, if you want to go down the track stop by the tech shack to fill out a free tech card and make as many laps as you want! Aimed at our street car crowd but race cars are welcome too.  Street cars won’t get the cone that pushes them out of the groove on Ten Dollar Tuesdays, track will be kept clean and safe but glue will be kept to a minimum.  Bring your hot rod out, pop the hood, show it off, turn that stereo up, make as many laps as you want… tonight is your night!  Looking at potentially running another Tuesday on the 28th, attendance on the 14th will dictate that… so come on out and show your support!
