Coming up in the near future are two new races for two types of racers; Sand drags at Glamis and off-road racing in Carlsbad.

San Diego's own SPAR organization will be officiating the 1982 Bracket Championships, along with Budweiser BB Funny Car Challenge, on Sunday, December 12, at the famed Glamis International Sandway.

Joining forces with KSIQ radio and the Molly Mate Company of Brawley, SPAR's first championship carries contingencies of $5,000 for the drivers and a Sand Toy buggy chassis to be given away in a drawing to some lucky spectator. Overnight camping for participants will be permitted.

Qualifying begins at 9:00 a.m. with the first race at 1:00 p.m.
