Thank you to everybody that participated in a RT Promotions event in 2024! We got to see some repeat winners, some new winners, and once again battled Mother Nature to complete a drag racing event.
After 10 years of events, we are stepping it up for 2025!
Our long-standing New Year Nationals will return for the 11th year to Bradenton Motorsports Park, on December 31st, 2025 through January 4th, 2026.
Because of the popularity of this event, and the challenges that come with the car counts we’ve experienced, we are making some changes for the 11th annual New Year Nationals to make it a better experience for everyone.
No Box will now be capped at 42 entries, for a maximum six rounds of racing, and kept separate from Box eliminator until a winner is determined. The winner in round six of No Box will get $1000, plus move into the Box side of competition for round seven for an increased $12,000 to win purse. No Box runner-up will get $500.
We will be paying Box Eliminator $12,000 to win each day (a $2K bump over 2024), while keeping entry fees the SAME as the past 10 years. There is no cap on this class.
We will be paying Junior Dragster $2,000 to win each day / keeping entry fees the SAME as the past 10 years. There is no cap on this class.
All pre-entries are 100% refundable, for ALL RT Promotions events.
The Fall Brawl will return to Gainesville Raceway on a new weekend, November 13th through November 16th, 2025. There will be some changes for this event as well, to provide a better overall experience.
Box Eliminator will be going from a 350-car cap in 2024, to a 300-car cap in 2025. The entry fees and payouts will remain the SAME ($695 entry for three races - $25K to win Friday, $50K to win Saturday, $25K to win Sunday).
We are going from 48 entries in No Box in 2024, to a 42 car entry cap in No Box in 2025, for a maximum six rounds of racing, and will be kept separate from Box eliminator until a winner is determined. The winner in round six of No Box will get a $2000 bonus, and then move into the Box side of competition for round seven, for the $25K / $50K to win payout (depending on the day).
We will not have the Junior Dragster class at the Fall Brawl in 2025; only Box and No-Box.
For 2025, RT Promotions will add a brand new event to the calendar: December 10th through the 14th, 2025 at Bradenton Motorsports Park - 5 days of racing!
For a $995 pre-entry, competitors will run for a $40K winner payout each day on Thursday through Sunday, December 11th-14th. We will also run a $15K to-win warm-up race on Wednesday, December 10th.
This will be a capped race, with a maximum 375 cars in Box Eliminator, and 16 in No Box (winner of round five of No Box gets a bonus payout, and goes into round six of Box).
Pre-entry is simple: $295 is all that’s needed when we open registration on October 1st to hold your spot. Your full registration payment is complete by paying an additional $350 by November 1st, and then the last $350 by December 1st. Meet all those deadlines, and we’ll toss in a free entry to the $15K on Wednesday. You can also pay the complete $995 up front.
If we do not meet the 375 cap for each day, there will be pay-at-the-gate entries available as well ($150 for December 10th $15K-to-win; $300 for each day - December 11th-14th - for $40K to win each day).
That’s our plans for 2025!
We couldn’t do this without a great crew of people, including the crews at Bradenton Motorsports Park and Gainesville Raceway.
