WICHITA FALLS, Texas--Unfortunately, the forecast we based this coming weekend's events at Red River Speedway didn't match up to what Mother Nature is currently delivering, so we are cancelling all events scheduled this weekend.

Here's the top line:

- The next event at Red River Speedway will be Friday, March 13 with racing at 8pm. We will be racing the scheduled divisions for that night, which are Sprint Cars, USRA Modifieds, Limited Mods, Factory Stocks and Mini-Stocks.

- At this point we do not have a replacement date for an open practice night before the March 13 event.

And here are the March 13 details:

- Friday March 13 Pit Gates open at 5pm, Grandstands open at 6pm, Draw Cutoff at 7:15pm, with Racing by 6pm. Adult Grandstand (ages 12-64) tickets are $12. Seniors/Active Military (with I.D.) $8. Ages 11 and under - free grandstand admission with Adult purchase. All pit passes, all ages $30.

- If you have yet to register your car for the 2015 RRS season, please try to get registered online at the track website; as we will be staying on schedule on race night, March 13.

- The racing program for Friday March 13th features: Sprint Cars, USRA Modifieds, Limited Mods, Factory Stocks and Mini-Stocks.

As announced last week, we have a new purse structure in effect for 2015. Here is that information again, as a refresher:.
 
NEW EXCITING PURSE STRUCTURE FOR 2015!
 
We're excited to unveil our new purse structure for 2015. The USRA Modifieds will have a higher total purse than in 2014... plus on any regularly scheduled night, if there are over 20 cars in the division, even higher purse structures will be in effect!
 
Here's how it works:
 
In 2014, the total USRA Modified A-feature purse was $4,250. In 2015, the base purse is $4,290 and will be distributed as follows: $700 - 500 - 400 - 350 - 300 (5th) - 250 - 200 - 180 - 160 - 150 (10th) - 140 - 130 - 120 - 110 - 100...to start.
 
However, if there are 21 or more USRA Modifieds, then the total purse jumps from $4,290 to $5,180!
 
The '21 and up' purse is as follows: $700 - 500 - 400 - 350 - 300 (5th) - 250 - 225 - 200 - 190 - 180 (10th) - 170 - 160 - 150 - 140 - 135 (15th) - 130 - 125...to 24th! (Note 24 starters, not 20!)
 
What this means is drivers are in more control of their purse structure. If you help rally other drivers in your division to support RRS in 2015, you will be rewarded by getting paid more at each normal event! If you help us, we will help you!
 
The 2015 new structure translates into a 'base' purse of $14,100 to $16,500 each and every night at Red River Speedway in 2015!
 
The only nights when this policy is not in effect is when there is a special event in that particular division, and those purses will be posted in advance.

We'll continue to work through this early spring weather the best we can, and the region greatly needs precipitation as it is. If there any further updates we'll post them here and at our facebook page immediately, when known.
