BARS PRODUCTS & RENEGADE AS TITLE SPONSORS

A new addition to the 12th annual Bar’s Leak Rislone Products Junior Drag Racing Halloween Nationals presented by Renegade Trailers will be the new location and management of the event. Eddyville Raceway Park (Oskaloosa, IA) will be the new host facility for the event coming up on October 3, 4 and 5, 2008. “We are delighted with the new direction for the Halloween Nationals" commented Laurie Silvey of the GoFast Group, partner of the event series since its conception in 1996, "Eddyville Raceway is a terrific, picturesque facility. The 1/8 mile track with shutdown and return road features that are very junior friendly. Eddyville's many park-like pit facilities will make for a great host track for years to come."

The success of the 2007 Halloween Nationals event is credited in part to Scott and Laura Gardner or Cordova Dragway Park. Eddyville Raceway Park is part of the Gardner owned facilities and the chemistry of event success will continue at Eddyville. Laurie and Todd Silvey will take a promotional support status with the annual event creating the promotional work with their GoFastgroup.com agency.

“We enjoyed hosting the Halloween Nationals at Cordova Dragway Park in 2007” said Scott Gardner. “However, now is a good time to move the event to Eddyville Raceway as it’s more centrally located for many racers and the weather tends to be a bit better in the later part of the year.” He continued. The traditional All-Junior event known as the JuniorFest of Drag Racing is likely to return to Cordova in the Summer of 2009.

The entire management of the our facilities would like to formally thank Todd and Laurie Silvey for all the dedication and hard work they have poured into the Halloween Nationals and Junior Drag Racing in Particular” Gardner stated. “Gerald Kramer at Eddyville will roll out the red carpet for this event and will continue with the tradition of fun and excellence that Todd and Laurie have created.”
