KANSAS CITY, Kan.—The 2nd Annual USRA National Championships takes place this Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 14-17, at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., with a practice session Wednesday night to get things started.

On Wednesday, the pit gate will open at 12 noon. Practice night for all classes will begin at 6 p.m. and continue until at least 9 p.m. Admission to the grandstands is free. Pit passes are $20 each. Camping is $15 per night or $40 for the week. Please note that anybody not hooked up and pulling a racecar is considered camping unless they leave the premises. This will be the only night for hot laps unless needed briefly on one of the other three nights to shape and work in the track.

Competitors at the USRA National Championships will take part in heat races and main events each night. USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will compete all three nights while USRA Hobby Stocks are on the card for Friday and Saturday. Combined points earned for both Thursday and Friday nights (Friday only for USRA Hobby Stocks) will set the line-ups for Saturday.

Each night will be a complete show of heat races and main events, with USRA national points awarded each night. No USRA track points are awarded at any track during the three-day event, and national points are awarded at this event only. On Saturday, USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods will each be racing for $4,000 to win. USRA Hobby Stocks will race for $1,000 to win Saturday. Saturday’s championship features will start three-wide in all four divisions.
