SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- In just nine days, race fans will make their annual pilgrimage to Spring Valley, Minn., to witness the nation’s Best of the Best take on the Deer Creek Speedway for the 15th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree—the undisputed marquee event for America’s most talented open-wheel dirt modified drivers.
Set for Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 19-21, nearly $200,000 in prize money will be up for grabs in this year’s blockbuster event. Joining the USMTS Modifieds, the Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA B-Mods will share the spotlight each day, racing for a top prize of $500, $600 and $750, respectively.
Fans will witness a complete show all three days with 150 to 200 top-flight teams turning more than 300 laps each night.
Early bird race fans can get a free preview of the action and drivers will get their chance to make final adjustments to their machines with an open practice from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday.
Thursday's USRA B-Mod main event carries a $500 top prize and pays a minimum of $75 to each of the feature race starters. Grandstand gates open at 4 p.m. and the first green flag waves at 6:30 p.m. The night will wind down with entertainment from Dueling Pianos following the races.
On Friday, the USRA B-Mod feature will pay $600 to the winner and $90 for each of the starters. Gates open for the fans at 4 p.m. and the first green flag waves at 6:30 p.m. The day will kick off with the annual Golf Scramble in the morning. Fans, drivers, crews and families will put a lid on Friday’s festivities with the return of The Dweebs performing live on stage following the races.
The annual Bean Bag Tournament begins earlier in the day on Saturday. Saturday's explosive finale will feature the hottest dirt modified pilots in the nation as USRA B-Mod drivers battle for a $750 top prize and at least $100 just to take the green flag in the main event.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning, breakfast will be served by the Bear Creek Lutheran Church in the hospitality area from 8-11 a.m.
