BARSTOOL RACING OFFERS
$10,000 TOP PRIZE.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (Jan.
11) – Racing is expensive these days--tires, fuel, cars, fees, and more
turn a hobby into a vicious expense that usually doesn't shake out to a
positive in your bank account. With the inception of the IBRA –
International BarStool Racing Association, that has changed.
The International BarStool Racing Association was formed in 2006 with the
intent to provide racers a chance to win big money in the off season, and
at the same time provide fans the opportunity to watch top names in
motorsports battle against each other in a family-friendly and
entertaining environment. The IBRA, a Minnesota-based company, utilizes
the patent pending Rocket Bar Stool in every race and will pay out over
$17,000 at each event, most of which are on ice, on a barstool!
What is the catch?
Nothing. Enter online via www.barstoolraces.com
or call 320-230-2883 and wait for confirmation of your entry. Each
contestant must have a racing background and some credibility, but that is
about it. The entry fee is $250.00, and pits will open up at 4:00 p.m. at
each event (get there early and sign the driver release). The most
important part of this--we provide ALL of the Rocket BarStools to the
racers.
Is it dangerous?
Not really. Although we have some thrills and spills throughout the night,
it is hardly different than full contact sports. The Rocket BarStools that
we utilize have a long, go kart type wheelbase. They can tip, but that is
the fun of it.
Do I have to buy a Rocket BarStool?
Not at all! Again, we provide every contestant with a Rocket BarStool
built to manufacturer specification. Think the IROC of BarStool Racing. In
fact, we even switch the BarStools between heat and main races so drivers
do not get the same machine twice in a night.
What is the payout?
Every IBRA race pays $10,000 to win! All of the driver entry fees pay the
purse. It breaks down like this: 1st Place $10,000 / 2nd Place $1,000 /
3rd Place $500 / 4th through 20th $250. If you make the A Main, you will
make your money back! If you don't make the A or the B through the heats,
there is still a $1000 to win last chance race and a $250 to win Toilet
Bowl. Every driver gets to race at least twice on each race night.
Schedule of Events?
Pits Open at 4:00 P.M., Doors Open at 6:00 P.M., 6-8 ten lap heat races
starting around 7:00 P.M., two 10 Lap B Mains, 20 Lap Non Qualifier, 10
Lap Toilet Bowl, 10 Lap Celebrity Race, and then the finale, a 50 Lap,
$10,000 to win the A Main!
