Phillips County Motor Sports newly elected director, Denny Overcast and
race enthusiast Don Wilkins are hosting a meeting Thursday, April 17, 2008, at
the Chinook Motor Inn beginning with a no-host dinner at 6 p.m. with an
informational meeting to follow. Overcast and Wilkins, supporters of the Hi-Line Drag Strip, 1320 Power Lane, south of Malta, attended the race events in Malta during the past year. Both have been instrumental in gaining support in the Blaine County area for assistance with track construction and encouraging dragsters to check out the track.
The first race of the season, June 8, is preceded by the annual First
State Bank Car show on June 7,
and will feature the North West Alcohol Fuel Funny Cars along with Outlaw and
Bracket racing beginning with time trials at 9 a.m. Twenty dollars gets your
vehicle in the gate for a fun filled day of racing.
Other races scheduled are July 19 & 20; August 23 & 24;
September 6 & 7; and September 20 & 21. These will be Outlaw on
Saturday and Bracket on Sunday.
Spectator fee is $5 for each day of racing which also features a full
spectrum of concessions on the grounds. Grandstand seating capacity is 1,100
with ample spectator parking. Motor homes are welcome and handicapped parking
is available.
Overcast urges all racing enthusiasts to attend this informational
meeting, meet other dragsters, the directors and officers of the corporation
to learn more about the track and operations.
The sanctioning by International Hot Rod Association will take place
this season. The annual dinner and auction is set for September 20 at the
Malta City Hall, beginning with a no-host waterhole at 6 p.m. with dinner and
auction to follow . Wilkins
and Overcast encourage anyone to check out the website at www.pcmotorsports.org
for more
information. Coming soon on the site is a “for sale” section for those
wishing to sell parts for dragsters or posting a “want” item.
