What to expect
Footbrake-only event from Coalburg Racing Promotions / World Footbrake Challenge. All-run format, no E.T. break, deep staging honored; door cars and left-hand-steer roadsters only, no dragsters or electric vehicles. Pre-enter by November 13 for the $400 rate; the double-entry policy lets a racer pre-enter one entry and buy the second at the gate for the same price. Streamed on MotorManiaTV. This record replaces the June-calendar World Footbrake Challenge listing for the same track and dates, which carried no purses and cited superseded Gobble Wobble dates.
Deadline (pre-entry, 2026-11-13): Pre-entry $400 by November 13 ($100 savings); $500 at the gate for twin $20K races.
