Open staging for drag racing

The $2000 Challenge Presented by Tire Rack offers open staging during Saturday’s drag racing session, from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday.

This means that all competitors, both those with budget and overbudget rides, will have unlimited runs during that session to set the fastest time possible–and improve their chances of securing bragging rights over their friends.

Budget competitors can’t put all their eggs in one basket, though, as they’ll also need to perform well in Saturday’s autocross and Sunday’s concours to win our annual low-buck competition.
