THE SIDEPOT SLOT RACE RETURNS!

That’s right, your chance to take home a super sized cheque in addition to competing for the great added money at each of the races!

How it works:
This sidepot is open for all competitors, meaning Juniors, Peewees and Seniors can enter as well, while still competing in their normal category for the added money in it.

Your slot time will be your fastest time from any of the 5 races.
You can buy 2 slots to take your best 2 times from any of the 5 races to better your odds and to potentially place 2 separate times! It is best to get your slot(s) prior to Race 1 because then all of your runs are eligible. Races are counted AFTER payment has been received, you cannot go back on races that you hadn't purchased a slot(s) ahead of time.

1 slot is $90
2 slots are $140 (who doesn’t love better odds and cost savings?!)

You can enter a minimum of 1 race to be qualified! You do not have to attend them all. Example 1 slot - only 1 race is needed.
A breakdown of the payouts is included based on projected numbers.

03/27/2025
