DOWNEAST NATIONALS *$$*MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT*$$*

DOWNEAST NATIONALS

We are excited to announce the Inaugural running of the Downeast Nationals in 2015. If you only travel ONCE in 2015, you should be heading to this race!

Since the fall of 2012, we've had this crazy idea about promoting a high dollar race here in New Brunswick. Well, after more than two years of thinking, talking, planning and thinking some more, we've finally been able to secure a date to make it happen. This has been no small feat in itself, as everyone knows how tight the summer schedule is here in the Maritimes, and it's thanks to a couple key people (who know who they are), that we have finally got it nailed down. We've tried as much as possible to take into consideration events not only in our area, but West and South of us as well.

We have also tried to come up with a format that would be progressive, maybe a little different, yet still appeal to the majority of racers. We are hoping that by doing so, we can attract some racers from outside our area that may not otherwise consider travelling East. While we do understand that some of our ideas may not please everyone, we do feel that our sport needs to continue to move forward, so we ask that you keep an open mind. You just never know, you just might like it, and you could win a lot of money in the process!

We can say that this will be without question the LARGEST payout the Maritimes has ever seen for a drag race, which will be in the neighborhood of $50,000.00 total for this Inaugural two day event, with separate races held on both Saturday and Sunday. Format will be BOX - NO BOX, and will also include a Junior Dragster class for the younger racers.

We still have many more details to work out, and will be posting them on this site, as well as here www.facebook.com/DowneastNationals as we get things sorted out. Stay Tuned.

At this time we are accepting sponsorship partners. Please contact one of us listed below if you are interested in becoming a sponsor for what will undoubtedly be the biggest event of the summer in our drag racing world.

Don't miss out!
