It's going to be a night of excitement, racing fun, and great food. Close to 40 cars and drivers will be up for the challenge at the Dirt Track Rumble this Saturday, July 11, at 7:30 p.m.
"Race What You Brung," you can put almost any car on the track to go lap for lap with other drivers looking for the same prize. It must be a 2-wheel drive vehicle with very little modifications to make it around the 1/4 mile track.
You may get bumped and pushed and slammed on your way to the finish line. Can your car stay running and go the distance during the 5-minute races?
This is a family-friendly event with a Kids Zone to entertain the younger ones.
The Dirt Track Rumble is hosted by the North Bullitt Lions Club. The nonprofit group is made up of volunteers who love giving back to the community and have fun along the way.
It's being held at the Bullitt County Fairgrounds. Admission is $10 per person, and $5 for children ages 6-12.
