Central Illinois Dragway has made significant improvements over the past decade and multiple ones over the past few months with the racers and fans in mind. Recent improvements include new asphalt to widen the road from the e.t. shack to the restroom, pouring concrete and clearing out trees for the spectator areas.

There’s a $70 entry fee for the Top and Mod classes, $50 for Motorcycle, $40 for Sportsman and free entry for Junior Dragsters.

Here are important facts regarding the event:
