Sprint High School Nationals April 26, 2008 At the April 26 running of the inaugural Sprint High School Nationals, students from across the region will race against each other for college scholarships, trophies and Sharpie supplies for their school. After the racing is over, students can slip into Thunder Valley's hottest nightspot, Club Brystal. The top drivers will receive Bristol Dragway scholarships, which will be good at the winner's college of choice. During the day, a video game tournament will let gamers prove to their friends that they really are the best. Students also will face off in a burnout competition, an audio competition and a car show. When the lights go down and the racing is over, the action at Club Brystal will heat up the strip with dancing and a party that lasts until midnight. Don't miss celebrity MC Danny from MTV's "Real World: Austin" because he will definitely blow the roof off the place! The school with the most participants also will receive $2,000 in Sharpie school supplies. Competition on the track is open to all high school students ages 16-19 with a valid driver's license. Students 18 and under must have a parent or guardian sign a release form before they can participate. Only street legal cars that pass a Bristol Dragway safety inspection will be allowed to race. To ensure that racing is equal for all competitors, the event will use a bracket-racing format. This format gives slower cars a head start and allows for close finishes. Gates open at noon. Admission is $7 for spectators and $10 for racers. To register, please call (423) 989-6953.
