SOD 2017 Season Looks Fantastic Thanks to Sponsor Partners

Sponsor Partners

Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP certainly is known to do its best to reward its racers, and the 2017 season will be no exception.  With the help of its many sponsor partners, 2017 will be a great season.

While equipment and tires are unchanged for 2017, two significant rule changes have taken place.  First, the standard format for 2017 races will now be to utilize combined hot laps/qualifying sessions instead of drawing for heat race line ups.  The second significant change is the removal of the clause “not miss more than two SOD race events” from section 10.1 of the rule book in order to qualify for point fund and other season-end payouts and awards.

In 2017, every time SOD racers hit the track at each race, extra awards will be on the line.
