⚠️ DRAW OUTS & CHANGES
All Saturday draw outs and changes must be submitted before Saturday’s first draw is posted.
All Sunday draw outs and changes must be submitted before Sunday’s draw is posted after Saturday’s race.
No-call/no-shows will still be responsible for their fees and will lose future pre-entry privileges. We rent these arenas, and holes in the draw cost time and money for everyone involved. 🫠
Two days. Big added money. Big buckles. Cooler weather. Let’s head to Payson!
