Thanks to Steward Restoration of Raymond, IL and Hopper Family Racing of Mattoon, IL, Racers at CCD will enjoy bonus pay each day. Come out Friday night and make a weekend of it on a fully prep VHT Track during our TnT or try your luck in our Friday Night Gamblers Race. Also our 6.50 & 7.50 Index Series kicks the weekend off on Friday night.
We’re also having Blown Nostalgia Altereds and Dragsters Matching racing on Satruday and competing in the Q330 Series on Sunday.

It’s hard to believe in 113 days we’ll be in our 2nd season at CCD. We know racers like to plan their season early so we’ve worked hard to make sure our schedule would be out soonest. There are some changes to take advantage of with less ET points races to help reduce travel for St Louis area racers and we’ve added a new series to include Box & No-Box to satisfy those who like to get the most bang for the gas $$ by continuing with racing on Sat & Sun with free overnight camping and the CCD Long Haul program (see our website for more details) that rewards racers for driving 90 miles or more to race with us. The Box & No-Box series will receive the same benefits (Gold Card, Perpetual Trophy, Winners Trophy, Jacket & Points Fund) as our ET series to include 3 spots per class towards the Indy Bracket Finals Team. For more information go to http://www.colescountydragwayusa.com/schedule/schedule.htm
