Clarification On Briggs & Stratton Raffle

03.30.2009 -- WKA and Briggs & Stratton would like to clear up some confusion on a recent pitboard announcing a "raffle" by Briggs & Stratton for the remainder of the season. The previous statement of, "--to be raffled off to race participants throughout the remaining Bully Clutches Gold Cup, Rage Karts Speedway Pavement, and Briggs & Stratton Speedway Dirt Series events," seemed to give the impression that you may have to pay for a ticket. To clarify, this is a FREE raffle to those competitors that are entered at each event.
