AUGUST 13 – Sunday – Midnight Madness – BEAT THE HEAT: RACE THE COPS
It has been the dream of many people to race against a police officer. For the first time in Michigan’s History, this dream will come true as cop cars with Beat the Heat Inc from all over the entire country will be driving to US131 Motorsports Park to take racing off the street and onto the strip. To make it even better, after 6 months of negotiations...in addition to the opportunity to race against police officers in there Beat the Heat cars, Michigan will become the second state in the country for civilians to race against ACTUAL ALLEGAN COUNTY SHERIFF POLICE CRUISERS driven by active police officers! Both bikes and cars will be able to run against either the cruisers or beat the heat cars.
Due to the high demand from students, teachers, and even past champions, US131 is also holding our High school drags during this day.
In addition to Beat the Heat and High School Drags, US131 will also be featuring a burnout out contest with the winner receiving $100 cash (no additional money to enter, although you must be racing), a 300+ mph Jet Car, and a 2000+ horsepower wheel stander.
This day will also have a gamblers race that anyone can enter (money payout - an additional $10 to enter, 80/20 split), Beat the Heat Inc. Bracket race (must be a member of beat the heat with a police replica car to run), and a test and tune that will be running throughout the day starting at 11:00am. We expect a decent amount of motorcycles and snowmobiles to come test and tune for the August 19&20 Bike mania/snowmobile race.
US131 is also coordinating its efforts with numerous local, county, state, and federal agencies to bring numerous static and interactive displays targeting everyone, from toddlers to adults.
To watch is only $5 and to race is $10...There is NO where in the country where you can pay $5 to see a 300mph+ Jet Car make passes on the track, just this alone is worth paying to see.
Including this event, we only have three more midnight madness events before the season is over. After this event, the next Midnight Madness is on Friday September 1st the theme of the night is the lightweight shootout. As with every themed event there will be three finals, in this case, one for the lightweight vehicles, one for general vehicles (any street car can run no matter the weight), and one for the bikes.
