On Friday, July 1, the $3000 TO WIN JOHN LARUE MEMORIAL will make for the LARGEST PAYING EVENT FOR A SINGLE DIVISION in Snydersville’s history! The Memorial Race has drawn large car counts since its inception in 2020, with the inaugural race drawing 37 and 30 entries for the 2nd year. This year marks year three of the memorial, and the LaRue Family has raised the stakes with a GUARANTEED GRAND PRIZE of $3000 to the winner of the John LaRue Memorial. The Sr. Animal Champs will be the division of choice and have drawn the attention of racers up and down the east coast! In addition to being the largest winning purse in history, this race will potentially be the largest class purse in the 30 years of Snydersville’s operation, with the potential of an $8000 purse at 30 entries paying $100 to take the green.
On top of that, we have the $500 to win Walt Smith Memorial for the Flathead 370 (Briggs Stock Heavy) division, which has also seen full fields in the last three editions of the race. Lastly, we have a Complete Regular of Snydersville Classes consisting of Karts, Champs, Microstocks, and Slingshots. The Mini Mod division will have off on Friday, July 1.
