🏁 SEPTEMBER AT THE KRATER IS GONNA BE BIG

We’ve got TWO big race weekends coming up, and they’re bringing two completely different kinds of action!

💰 SEPTEMBER 4–5 — DEALERS CHOICE
Trophies, bragging rights, and OVER $1,500 IN CASH PAYOUTS!
360 Sprint, Limited Late Model & Street Stock drivers will battle it out in a Dash for Cash between qualifying and the mains. 💵🔥 All other classes will still be ran as usual.

🚫🪽 SEPTEMBER 25-26 — FAST IZZY’Z WINGLESS
Time to take the downforce away and see who can really wheel one! 360 Sprint goes WINGLESS and Limited Late Model goes TOPLESS. Same dirt. Different cars. Whole different challenge. All other classes will still be ran as usual.

Two weekends. Two unique races. Plenty of reasons to get those cars ready.

September is going to be FAST at The Krater. Who’s making BOTH?! 👀🏁

📍 The Krater R/C Dirt Oval Raceway — Ionia, MI
👉 Schedules, rules & details are on the flyers!
