Kilgore TX (4/18/13) by DarinShort.com. Round 1 of the popular “Thunder on the High Banks” for RaceSaver® Sprint Cars is scheduled for April 27th at LoneStar Speedway in Kilgore Texas.
The RaceSaver Sprint Cars are competing for a very solid purse of $1,000 to win, and pays down to $200 for starting the feature (24th). There are no entry, license or association fees for the sprint cars. Complete purse breakdown and rules are posted at the track website under ‘resources.’
Plus, the Limited Modifieds will be racing for an additional $1,500 in purse money; making their feature event pay $1,000 to win! There is no entry fee for the Limited Modifieds to this event.
The driver of the #13 Limited Modified, Robert Taylor and his wife Trisha, are gathering up additional purse funds in the amount of $1,500 that will be added to the Limited Modified feature event – which will now pay $1,000 to the winner.
About three years ago Robert and Trisha lost their daughter in a car accident that was partially caused by texting and driving. At that time, the racing community provided their family with much needed support.
And now, the Taylors want to help bring awareness to the Don’t Text & Drive cause, and this special event is the start of the process. This event plans to grow more formally in future years. The complete purse breakdown is posted at the track website.
It will be an action packed racing night of racing in all three LSS points divisions, which includes $1,000 to win Modifieds, $1,000 to win for the Limited Modifieds and $300 to win for the Factory Stocks. Beginner Factory Stocks are also scheduled for April 27th.
