‼️Did you know we have a teen class❓MUST WEAR PANTS WHEN RACING. Teens from 13 to 17 can learn the basics of drag racing and compete against other drivers of their age. An adult “ co-driver” rides in the passenger seat during all runs to supervise and coach the driver. The Teen racer uses the family’s daily driver as the competition vehicle. Lots of fun, while your teen gains racing skills & knowledge. Join us this Friday. 🏁🏆💨🔥

Attention in the pits! Good morning!☀️We will be starting back up weekly (hopefully by the end of today) our “this week at Empire” post. That will give you all the information for the upcoming weekend, just like we did last year. We hope each week to post this at the latest on Tuesday sometime. We also will put out the run order usually on Friday, the latest Saturday morning. We know we keep repeating it, but thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions at anytime please reach out to Patrick Budd or Tricia White on social media. When you are at the track feel free to stop in the tower and see Tom or Patrick. They will answer any of your questions at the track.

Just a reminder on those hot days at the racetrack with our furry friends if they visit.🥵Hot pavement asphalt can severely burn a dog's paw pads. Since our paved asphalt pit areas are in the direct sunlight, the asphalt gets extremely hot. If you bring your animals, please protect your dog's paws by avoiding walks on the pavement during the hottest parts of the day, sticking to grass/shaded areas, or use protective paw wax or booties. Thanks.🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺🐾🦴

Be part of our Empire team. We have clip board signing positions. This involves signing people in when they enter the race track. It is only when the gate first opens. Prefect for a pit crew person. You would be done in time to watch or assume your position when racing starts. Call or text today.
