About this event
Come join us October 4th and 5th for our final points weekend of 2025, Event 9 and Grady Wood Memorial Cup!
In the Grady Wood Memorial Cup, scoring is determine by your fastest time of the day rather than morning plus afternoon. The top overall PAX winner will receive The Grady Wood Memorial Cup with their name engraved! Immediately following the last heat, the top 10 drivers by overall PAX will compete in the Benny Dement Challenge in which each driver takes one run in the same car. The winner of the Benny Dement Challenge also receives a special engraved trophy!
