We want to get the word out once more before any pre mature pre entries open up and someone misses out on the OG New Years event. The New Years Nationals, brought to you by Gaspar Body & Paint LLC . This will be your official notice our complete flyer will be out shortly we're just wrapping up a few loose ends with sponsor placement and official rules but here is the "need to know" info for everyone to see.
Where: Gainesville Raceway
When: Dec 30th-Jan 2nd (we elected to move the start date to one day earlier to allow families a travel day to get home Sunday and also it's much more common to get out of work between Christmas and New Years than it is to take the 1st Monday back to work off.) Its our hope this helps with any difficult travel plans 🙏
How to enter: Go to dragracefl.com on Nov 2nd at noon and pre enter. There will only be 42 no box spots available and 200 Super Pro spots available. Pre entry will be $150 and the remaining $300 is due at the gate. If you use a credit card to pay, there will be a 3% convenience charge, however you will have the option to zelle, or PayPal friends and family for no additional cost. If you choose to double, you will need to pay for two pre entries. You cannot double in no box. You can double in Super Pro, or one in each. JUNIORS DO NOT NEED TO PRE ENTER!! Pay at the gate is perfect for junior racers!
Payout: We raised the winners purse to 12k per day in super pro, no box side will pay $1000 per day bonus before joining the box racers on the ladder. Juniors will pay 2k per day to win. Round money in all three classes start with 3rd Rd wins. There is also a $200 bonus to the last 6-9 yr old in competition each day thanks to Marco Lopez and JrX.

The junior age out ceremony (the last ride) will be held under the gazebo at 9:15 am.
Racing will start promptly at 10 am (so some can sleep in from the night before) with no box out first. This will wrap up our third and final 12k champion of the weekend! And give everyone time to get home Sunday to pay for it all on Monday!!
This event has been viewed as "A Disney event" and "A circus" by a few popular big money racers over the years. It's never been an insult to me, I've always viewed this event as a family race. One that the entire family can attend and compete at. It's affordable, and it's fun. After all Disney is "the funnest place on Earth" so I guess it's a compliment to be "the funnest race on Earth" If this seems like an event you'd like to attend and compete at, we can't wait to see you there! Thank you to everyone who supports us year in and year out. We truly think this year will be the best year yet, with the limited car count, and a fantastic facility, no curfew and the best crew in the state this is going to be EPIC!!
One last thank you to our sponsors. We have done partnerships with most of these companies our entire 12 year stretch. We appreciate everything you do, and please if your in the market for anything one of these companies offer please reach out to the companies that support the racers and the sport!
