Stock and Diesel Truck Pull Attracts Big Guys

If you are one, you’ll get it.

That is, if you relate to the Krazy Adults Requiring Speed (K.A.R.S.), you’ll want to gather up the rest of the fans and head to Billings Motorsports Park on Highway 87 North (through Billings Heights and on the route north to Roundup) at mile marker 16.

That’s where you’ll find the 2010 Thunder on the Prairie Stock and Diesel Truck Pull this Saturday, July 31. The big boy rigs hook up to monster loads and show their traction and horsepower.

Registration, equipment tech-check and rules for the thunder-makers opens at 1 p.m. Drivers (the “Thors” of Billings Motorsports Park) have a meeting at 5 p.m.

The show starts at 6 p.m. You’ll see competition in several classes: 5200 light, 6200 heavy diesels, 7200 super heavy, and diesels to 8,200 pounds. Rules and details are available at BMPRacer.com

Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids 7-12, and free for kids under 6.

The KARS club has a big night in store for you. Coolers are not allowed. But you won’t need them because the beer garden has refreshing drinks to go with a selection of concessions. BMP has great grandstands and nice restrooms.

The next Thunder on the Prairie date for 2010 is August 28.

The group will also host Thunder in the Valley for trucks and farm tractors at the Bridger, Montana Fairgrounds August 14. Concessions will be available. Call 425-1902
