Heads Up Racing

We host heads-up drag racing which runs 1/8th mile races using a .400 pro tree. There are multiple car classes to choose from below based on tire size and vehicle type.

Looking for driver entry and buy-in costs? Check out the Admission page.

Note: Due to safety and insurance restrictions, electric vehicles (EVs) are prohibited from drag racing.

Payouts

• The total buy-in for each class is split with 80% to the winner and 20% to the runner-up.
• Higher car counts means a higher buy-in pot so bring your friends to increase the payout!
• Sponsors can boost payouts even further by adding to the buy-in pot.
• Where do I pick up my prize money? Payouts are available at the tower in the Winners Circle in-person when racing concludes. Any payouts not picked up by Sunday evening when the event closes will be considered abandoned. Prize money will not be mailed.
