Canandaigua Speedway kicks off a rare DIRTcar double on Saturday, June 16 when Canandaigua Chrysler Dodge presents the Green Mamba Jet Car Meltdown at Sundown.
Doug Rose and his sizzling Car Burning Exhibition travel to Cayuga County Fair Speedway in Weedsport , N.Y. the following day as the World's Largest Jet Car/Truck arrives blazing with 70,000 worth of horse power performing a mega motor vehicle meltdown!
Rose is the only jet dragster driver who dares to drive a car designed for straight-line racing on a circle track. He’ll be harnessing the power of the former World Speed Record Holder Green Mamba Jet Car, with temperatures guaranteed to rise on both nights!
Big-Block Modifieds headline the weekly DIRTcar Racing card at Canandaigua, joining a full show of Sportsman Modifieds, Street Stocks and PureStox. In time for Father’s Day, a special B-B-Q Grill Race just for the dads is also on tap Saturday night at the Ontario County Fairgrounds. Spectator gates swing open at 5 p.m. on Saturday with the first qualifying heat rolling off the line promptly at 7 o’clock. Pit gates are slated to unlock at 4 p.m. for all competitors.
