The 2014 edition of the “Super Bowl of Racing”, sanctioned by the LOLMDS, will consist of three full nights of racing at GIS. Thursday night, February 6th the series will run a $5,000 to win and $500 to start non-points feature event. Then on Friday night February 7th the LOLMDS will run a $10,000 to win and $800 to start feature event, followed by a second $10,000 to win, $800 to start feature event on Saturday February 8th.

The series will have nine (9) events paying more than $10,000 to win, including the return of our marquee events on the schedule again in 2014.
