This year's Top Dog Bounty Race Days will be held on October 16. This Saturday race will pay a double payout to any racer that beats a "Top Dog" and makes it to the money rounds. Top Dogs are any racers that have won a previous Top Street Bike Competition. These special purses are open to all Orient Express Top Street Bike riders. The rules are simple. If you beat a "Top Dog" in eliminations and make it to the money rounds, the semi finals or final, your payout will be doubled. The title of "Top Dog" does not carry over past the first person that beats a Top Dog. You have to beat a Top Dog to be in the money. So fare for the July 10th Bounty the TopDogs are Rick Mazzola, Ol Skool & Tony Pasquale.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call the RacewayPark office 1-732-446-7800. Remember Top Street Bike is an all run class, everyone gets to compete!
