Another Bash on the Backstretch SDW Party Update

We're 97 days away from the first day of inspection for Super Dirt Week! Which means, 100 days away from the 3rd Annaul Club Wago Super Dirt Week Bash on the Backstretch! Just a little bit of information on some of the things going on this year.

Once again we're going to be a Friday only party, starting sometime Friday evening. We hired a brand new DJ this year, and he will shut off the music during the big wheel and hook us up with some announcing during those races so that should make that more organized. We're hoping to have some trophies and a cash prize to the winners of the big wheel race again. Remember, big wheels must have only 3 wheels, at least the front or the back two tires must be plastic, and it cannot be more than 3-feet wide! We're a little concerned about the big wheel count since you have to have one to race this year, so, if you see one and don't want to race at a yard sale or something, buy it and I'll buy it from you at the mile! I know I've been looking and have only found 1 and 1/2 big wheels so far. Anyone that has a big wheel and is going to race let me know too.

We're very excited about our new DJ, his name is DeRue. We enjoyed the past 2 years with the old DJ, but we didn't have his contact information, so it makes it easier this way as we're able to communicate and figure everything out with our new DJ, no hard feelings! He did it for free for us and we truly appreciate him helping us.

We're going to also be giving away prizes this year. Already we've got hooked up with two pit passes to the Short Track SuperNationals, two tickets to Eastern States Weekend, two tickets to the Grandview Speedway 5-25s, two tickets to the Tri-Track Series big block Rocktober race at New Egypt Speedway, along with multiple body panels and other merchandise to give away. We're still looking for ideas on how to give this away, we're looking at possiblity doing something where we sell tickets, people fill them out and we draw the winning ticket later in the night. However, we'd like to do something more creative than that, so if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Of course the Wago Juice will be on hand as well.

Finally, for the first time, we're going to have Bash on the Backstretch Shirts for sale. So far we've learned that people either really love them, or don't like them at all, hopefully they sell okay. Also, remember, all the money that we raise in shirt sales, donations, and any money we'd get if we'd sell tickets for prizes go straight to one of the Club Wago drivers at Super Dirt Week. Last year's money went to Kenny Brightbill.

It's a long way away, but we're already working to make it a fun night. Should be a great year with the return of the Ghetto and always entertaining Voodoo Lounge. Hope to see all you guys 100 days from now!
