Early entries now top 200 for Duel In The Desert

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (Oct. 29) – Early entries for IMCA’s Duel In The Desert continue to run well ahead of pre-registration numbers for recent seasons.

Two hundred and six drivers – 146 IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds and 60 Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center Southern SportMods – are already con­firmed for the Nov. 12-15 special on the half-mile Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

At the same time last year, entries were in hand from 134 Modifieds and 41 SportMods. 2012 en­try totals came from 136 Modifieds and 24 SportMods.

Modifieds race for $7,777 to win and a minimum of $777 to start their Fast Shafts All-Star Invita­tional ballot qualifying event on Saturday, Nov. 15. Two preliminary features Thurs­day, Nov. 13 and on Friday, Nov. 14 each pay $777 to win.

Saturday’s top prize for the SportMods is $1,777. Those divisions will compete in the same races with their existing 2014 rules; qualifying features on Thursday and Friday pay $500 to win.

Advance entry fees paid by Oct. 31 are $200 for Modifieds and $150 for SportMods; entry fees after that date are $250 for the Modifieds and $200 for SportMods.
