The
2009 Speed Unlimited ET Series
starts with a double-header weekend
featuring a special event called the
“Pick Royce’s Pocket Challenge.”
This is your chance to pick Royce’s
pocket and win a free car and driver
pass valid until mid-season!
Here’s how it works! First, you must
sign up for MIR points and run both
Saturday & Sunday, April 4th-5th
(points will be in effect both days
for all classes). The four racers
that are leading the points in Top
ET, Modified ET, Motorcycle ET and
Junior Dragster at the end of the
weekend will qualify to run in the
“Pick Royce’s Pocket Challenge”
scheduled for the following
weekend’s Speed Unlimited ET Series
on Saturday, April 11th.
Just before first round of this
crazy and “off the wall”
competition, the four points leaders
(one per class) will each be
assigned a lane by “Big Deputy
Royce.” The driver will choose a
dial-in to display on their window,
then take their chance to Pick
Royce’s Pocket by making a solo pass
in that lane to try and match the
scoreboards. But “Big Deputy Royce”
is even not requiring the drivers to
match the thousandth – all they need
to do is match the hundredth. He’s
got the confidence that no one’s
going to be able to pick his pocket
– worth a FREE car and driver pass
for their class AT EVERY ET POINTS
EVENT until the end of July 2009!
But Racers Beware… as Big Deputy
Royce has a few tricks of his own up
his sleeve. “No one’s gonna’ pick my
pocket,” stated Big Deputy. “I’ll be
on the PA, in the staging lanes, in
the waterbox, wherever I need to be
to taunt them all day long. I’ll be
sure to find out which lane they
prefer, then stick ‘em in the
opposite lane! I’m gonna’ rattle
their cage and laugh when they choke
tryin’ to get in my pocket!”
So the challenge has now been
officially declared to all racers!
You need to be here both days on
opening weekend and race your way to
the top of the points list to seize
your shot at making Big Deputy
Royce……“Eat Crow!” Will he have to
reach in his pocket and pay your
entry fee until mid season – it’s
all in your hands now…. “Show “Em
What You Got!”

Rules & Event Schedule
for the “Pick Royce’s Pocket” Challenge |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Big Deputy Royce
will assign a lane for each qualified driver (driver is allowed
to dial-in after their lane assignment). |
|
|
|
The April 11th
challenge will be run on the 1/4 mile in Top ET, Mod ET and
Motorcycle ET. Junior Dragster will be run on the 1/8 mile. |
|
|
|
Each of the four
qualifiers will receive just one solo pass after their lane
assignment - this is their one and only shot to try and win by
matching the scoreboards (just to the hundredth!) |
|
|
|
The FREE Car &
Driver pass is valid only for the winners class and only on ET
points races until the end of July 2009. |
|
|
|
If events are
affected by weather, the qualifiers will be the points leaders
at the end of the first two completed races; and the challenge
will be during the very next Speed Unlimited ET series event. |
|
|
|
In the event of a
qualifying points tie, the tie breaker will go to the driver
that had the closest to their dial-in pass in eliminations over
the first two points races. |
