Mopars at the Strip features the richest payout at an all-Chrysler drag race in the west. Our goal is to present a race program that fans will be interested in watching and racers will want to race. We are committed to putting as much money back into the race purse as we can.

Run cards will have designated lanes for each qualifying run (R,L,R, or L,R,L) to keep one lane from being better than the other.
