Congratulations to the Four Qualified Drivers
for the "Pick Royce's Pocket Challenge"

April 30, 2008

Congratulations to the four Speed Unlimited ET Series racers who qualified on Saturday, April 26th for the “Pick Royce’s Pocket Challenge”. The qualifiers are as follows: #1169 Jake Milstead in Top ET, #1X68 Tony Mattera in Mod ET, #920 Ben Helland in Streetbike ET and #2105 Nick Chiles in Junior Dragster. These four drivers will have their chance to pick Royce’s pocket on Saturday, May 3rd and win free car and driver entry at every ET event until Saturday, August 16th!

Just before first round of this crazy and “off the wall” competition, each driver will be assigned a lane by “Big Deputy Royce.” The driver will choose a dial-in to display on their window, then take their chance to Pick Royce’s Pocket by making a solo pass in that lane to try and match the scoreboards. But “Big Deputy Royce” is even not requiring the drivers to match the thousandth – all they need to do is match the hundredth. He’s got the confidence that no one’s going to be able to pick his pocket – worth a FREE car and driver pass for their class AT EVERY ET POINTS EVENT until its new extension date of Saturday, August 16th!!

But Racers Beware… as Big Deputy Royce has a few tricks of his own up his sleeve. “No one’s gonna’ pick my pocket,” stated Big Deputy. “I’ll be on the PA, in the staging lanes, in the waterbox, wherever I need to be to taunt them all day long. I’ll be sure to find out which lane they prefer, then stick ‘em in the opposite lane! I’m gonna’ rattle their cage and laugh when they choke tryin’ to get in my pocket!”

So the challenge is now officially declared to Jake Milstead, Tony Mattera, Ben Helland and Nick Chiles! Will they be able to make Big Deputy Royce “Eat Crow”? We will see this Saturday, May 3rd, at the Mountain Motor Nationals!


 

	Rules & Event Schedule for the “Pick Royce’s Pocket” Challenge     Big Deputy Royce will assign a lane for each qualified driver (driver is allowed to dial-in after their lane assignment). The May 3rd challenge will be run on the 1/4 mile in Top ET, Mod ET and Streetbike ET. Junior Dragster will be run on the 1/8 mile. Each of the four qualifiers will receive just one solo pass after their lane assignment - this is their one and only shot to try and win by matching the scoreboards just to the hundredth! Free Car & Driver pass is valid only for the winners class and only on ET points races until the end of July 2008 Saturday, August 16th! If event is affected by weather, the challenge will be during the very next Speed Unlimited ET series event.
