Format Change at Trail-Way Speedway Race 5/20 & 21/2011
 We have a new twist to the upcoming double header weekend at Trail-Way Speedway on 5/20 and 5/21.  The top two finishers from Friday night’s feature will be locked in to the redraw for Saturday night’s feature.  These two drivers will not run a heat race and will be part of the redraw for Saturday night.  For example, given a 24 car field the redraw will consist of the top 5 of the two heats plus the top 2 from Friday night.  This format will reward the top two finishers with the luxury of watching the heats and monitoring track conditions while knowing they are locked in to the redraw.
