    I just spoke to Barb at the track and they are trying a new event this year. Instead of the separate makes having their own events on separate days over the summer, they are having one big event. She said July 15th and it will be called "Battle of the Brands" The flyer is not up yet. As we know, the BOP always draws last and is in October and half the time if not more is poor weather.

    It will be like a car club challenge event with all the makes; Fard, Chebby, Nopower, LAMC, but all the BOP cars will be lumped together into one "make" group!

    Elimination Drags will run until the last car of each make stands. Then the winners of each make will drag the other winners for the ultimate winner!

    I don't see how they are going to have enough time in one day myself but.....it could be a hoot and should be good weather.

    I'll keep this thread updated.

    Cheers! MarkO

    The BOP event is in Sept. Usually the week end after the End of The World run in Ocean park.

    You're correct. It's usually in September but Mark is correct with it getting rained out most of the time.

    I would also be surprised to see them run that many cars in a day but will be nice weather in July for sure.

    Looking forward to the new event.

    It actually hit in October and recetly, which actually was a nicer day that year...

    I bet there's enough of a draw to make a weekend event out of it. I'll call Barb tomorrow and ask what they have contemplated along these lines....I have some ideas!

    Let's not lose sight that event is also a great car show and a drag race event, so, BOP folks, let's start planning to show up and support the track.!

    Since there aren't enough BOP cars to have the entire day to themselves, it's usually one of a few things going on that day. If they can have this event and nothing else on the side, I think I'd prefer doing it this way.

    Last year, I couldn't find any information about the track online, or in forums, to see if they were running BOP. I drove out there to find that it had been rained out. I know tracks don't like to call rainouts early, but something on their website would have been helpful.

    I run Madras dragstrip in Oregon. I spoke with Barb at the annual track operators meeting and she told me that they will not be having the BOP event this year. However We(Madras Dragstrip) have A BOP event on may 27th 2012. This is our third year of this event and buick has won this event every year so far and we are hoping to win it again this year. for more info go to the thread in events http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?249108-BOP-Event-Madras-Oregon-sunday-may-27th-2012
