Bash questions answered
Highly Anticipated 16-Division Race Meet Invades October 26-27-28
ROSSBURG, OH (Sept. 28) – One of the most frequently asked questions
since the 2012 Eldora schedule was released has now been answered with
the release of the entry form and details surrounding the Blue Collar
Bash (BCB). The inaugural event that showcases the ‘weekly’
racer will be contested on Eldora’s legendary .500-mile clay oval over
the weekend of October 26-27-28.
The Blue Collar Bash will afford many racers, and many divisions, their
first opportunity to compete at Eldora in an event that focuses on fun,
laps, opportunity and affordability at a time of year that allows a
wide variety of geographical representation.
Sixteen different divisions ranging from entry-level Sport Compacts to
regional Street Stocks to midwest Sportsman stock cars to Crate Late
Models to the Tobias SpeedSTRs to Eldora stalwarts UMP DIRTcar Late
Models and Modifieds to four different kinds of Sprint Cars (Mini, 305,
non-winged, 410 winged) will be on the aggressive card. Complete
class specifications and time schedules are detailed on the BCB entry
form, which is downloadable from www.EldoraSpeedway.com. Eldora’s
minimum driving age of 16, along with a 14-year-old minimum age for pit
pass purchasing will continue to apply for the event.
The initial BCB, the first of its kind at Eldora, has specifications
designed to attract race teams from many different areas. After
this year’s running, Eldora Speedway officials will evaluate the date,
divisions, technical specifications, etc; using feedback from the fans
and competitors going forward; in hopes of making the BCB an annual
event.
The facility will swing open on Friday evening (October 26) with an
optional four-hour practice session. Saturday will see
preliminary heat races for nine of the scheduled classes, along with a
full program for the UMP DIRTcar Late Models, BOSS non-winged Sprints
and Legends. A post-race party will conclude Saturday’s
agenda. On tap for Sunday will be the B and A-Features for
Saturday’s heat race divisions, in addition to a full program for
winged Sprint Cars, UMP DIRTcar Modifieds, Eldora Stock Cars and
‘declare home track’ Stock Cars.
A pill draw system will be used to line-up all heat races and a time
schedule that takes into consideration the seasonal weather has been
crafted.
Camping on the Eldora grounds will be free, as will general admission
for kids under 12, all weekend. Saturday/Sunday combo tickets,
which can be redeemed to include pit access, are just $30 when
purchased in advance. Advance tickets can be purchased
online at www.EldoraSpeedway.com or by calling the track office at
(937) 338-3815.
