DYO CHALLENGE
To be run on the Saturday evening and only for Road Trip entrants 1st place gets $1500.
How it works – To be run round by round. Open to all entrants.
All drivers will receive 1 peg, hang on to it. Whatever you do don’t lose it or give it away, it is your spare lifeline.
Drivers will draw lanes and a challenger from a bucket then partner up and race, normal DYO rules apply. If you’re first across the line without going under your DYO time or red lighting and turn on the win light then you are instantly through to the next round, however if you loose and you still have that peg, then you can buy back in, simply hand back your peg and $20 to use your lifeline. If you choose not to buy back in that’s fine, BUT you MUST hand back your peg, failure to hand your peg back in will result in you loosing your points to date in the main competition. ALL buy-back $$$ will go into a bucket for 2nd place.
After each round you will draw for lanes and challenger again, this will continue until we reach our final 2 competitors.
Winners from the DYO competition and other awards will be announced at the dinner.
