Just a reminder that our season starts on April 20!!! Wahoo!!!!! Get those ponies ready to go!!

Entries for the April 20 jackpot in Preston will open by EMAIL on Sunday, April 12. An email for entries will be sent out explaining how to enter. You will also be able to enter by calling/texting Sunday, April 19. More information for entries soon to follow.

Membership fees and entry fees will be the same as 2014. Open memberships (13 and up) are $25, youth memberships (12 and younger) are $15. Open events are $26 to enter for members ($28 for nonmembers), youth events are $16 to enter for members ($18 for nonmembers).

Remember that we are increasing our association to a 4D (4 division) format! We will pay 3 places in each division to keep the payouts worth the money split. The divisions will be divided as follows: 1D winner = fastest time; 2D winner = fastest time + 1/2 second; 3D winner = fastest time + 1 second; 4D winner = fastest time + 2 seconds. The youth barrels, youth poles, and open poles will keep the same splits as 2014.

*If you would like to be included in our email list, please send an email to statelinejackpot@gmail.com with the request.

Thanks and see you April 20 in Preston!
