Our apologies for the short notice but we recently worked out a deal with the Saline County Fairgrounds in Harrisburg, IL to host the 2011 Rock Jam 4x4 Challenge. This will be our third Rock Jam event and we are working hard to make it the best yet! The event will take place on the evening of Monday July 25th and will be part of the Saline County Fair. What could be better on a Monday night than corn dogs, taffy, carnie rides, and rock racing?
As last year the event will take place on a short course in front of the grandstands. Again just two classes, Street Class for rigs with mild mods and 35's or smaller, Challenger Class for serious trail rigs and comp rigs (see rules below for specifics, they will be posted within 24hrs). Drivers and spectators can expect the track to have jumps, rock gardens, some decent straights for speed, and whatever else we can come up with to make things interesting.
Registration is tentatively set to begin at 4pm with racing tentatively set to run from 7pm to 11pm. No need to pre-register but please let us know if you are planning to attend so we can get an idea of who to expect. All participants and crew must pay for entry into the fairgrounds and pit area as if they were spectators. We wanted them to change that rule for us but that's how they've always done it.
For those that don't know, Harrisburg is a nice town with approx 10,000 residents. There are two fairly new hotels, plenty of fast food, and a some good local restaurants. Napa, AutoZone, Oreilly's, TSC and a nice new Super WalMart too. The fairgrounds are close to town and easy to find. Here is a GPS/Google friendly address that will get you right next door to the fairgrounds:
Auto Trim Mart
1421 North Main Street (Hwy 34 N)
Harrisburg, IL 62946
The Saline County Fair has always had a strong focus on motor sports and we again expect a good crowd. As always we will do our best to keep the event fast paced and spectator friendly. We hope to see you there! Please feel free to send a PM or post up if you have questions.
