Davis Dealerships for Incentive program comes to a close.
DAARA would Like to thank the Davis Dealerships for offering an incentive program.
$10,000.00 was paid to competitors starting the Fall of 2023. A very substantial donation to DAARA has run out. Dave Davis and his son Glenn provided competitors with $100 tow money to help with expenses. It was a success, and possible may be brought back in the future.
Currently all tracks have competitors paying entry per race, as driver entering free was halted earlier this year. Promotors costs and insurance rates continue to rise.
THANK YOU to the Davis Dealerships for the opportunity!
Remember to thank Dave at the track!!!
Since 1983

DAARA RACE PROCEDURES
Race Procedures
Each race car that registers for an DAARA event will be awarded 15 points.
An additional 2 points for starting the heat race and 6 points for taking the green flag in the feature race will be awarded. The maximum of 23 points per DAARA race will be awarded.
"Attending" a race means the car reached the entrance gate of the track on race day. All appropriate points will be awarded in case of a rain out-cancellation on race day. Points are awarded to the car according to DAARA class and number. Car owner may use a substitute car as long as it is in the same class and carries the same number. If not, it is considered a different entry. Drivers may accumulate car owner points in more than one car or class.
You may request a change, or you may be asked, to move to a different "group" to race in a heat or in a feature. This may be due to a performance standpoint, a car count issue, or to help even out the number of cars in a heat or feature. The DAARA President will have the final decision as to which group a car races with.
Each car at a DAARA series race will be given one complementary pit pass. All addition persons must pay the regular pit pass rate.
Heat / Feature winner in each class of the previous DAARA race must start at the REAR of the heat /feature of the following event. At regular race nights, Feature line up will be inverted, and drivers can still request to start in the rear.
All DAARA Board Members present will make any final decisions.
