The Woodhull 100 is a 100-lap event paying a cool $1,000-to-win and $100 just to take the green flag. Glenn Whritenour used patience to win the 2017 running of the 100, sending Kurt Stebbins home disappointed after Stebbins led 92 of the 100 scheduled laps. With over $11,000 in purse money and contingency money and prizes, the ‘Woodhull 100’ will not disappoint in 2018.
Rules for Woodhull's Street Stock Challenge Series and the Woodhull 100 will follow Woodhull’s Open Street Stock rules which are as follows:
Any steel small block engine
Must run (1) two barrel carburetor
10 inch maximum width on any tire
No 3-Link or Late Model type chassis. Must have stock Front Clip. Clip cars MUST be 2" x 3" Steel tubing from 36" behind centerline of front wheels to centerline of rear axle and must go over rear axle.
