The “Black Diamond” will showcase 5 late model-type features during the weekend including 4 Super Late Model features. While the event pays mammoth amounts to the winners, the payoff is designed to pay more money to more drivers.

Circle Track Management Group is posting this incredible Super Late Model payoff without the use of race teams-paid entry fees, which in reality reduce the driver’s payoff! The Super Late Models will have absolutely no car entry fee if a driver pre-registers by the August 15 cut-off date. Super Late Model car entry after August 15 will be $200. CTMG has been a strong part of the UFo alliance and has seen the favorable results of the elimination of entry fees on that tour. The elimination of these fees will translate to even more money for the race teams that attend this national mega-event, keeping an additional $15,000 in their hands.
