FLORIDA MAN VS THE WORLD // OCT 22–24, 2026 // SGMP, ADEL GA

KNOW BEFORE
YOU TOW.

CLASSES, PAYOUTS, TECH, AND WHAT YOUR MONEY ACTUALLY BUYS.

BEFORE YOU BUY

THREE DIFFERENT THINGS.

This trips people up every year, so plainly: your gate ticket, your registration, and your tech card are three separate things. Buying one does not get you the others.

01 // ADMISSION

A TICKET

Gets you and your crew through the gate. Everyone coming with you needs one, racer or not.

02 // TO COMPETE

REGISTRATION + PIT

One booking. It signs you up to run and claims your pavement — 30-amp power if you take an electrical spot, and those go first.

03 // AT THE TRACK

A TECH CARD

A separate fee, and every car goes through tech. Know what you'll be held to before you load up — see below.

DRAG RACING

EIGHT CLASSES. PICK YOUR FIGHT.

Heads-up racing across eight classes, from all-out builds down to whatever you drove in. Payouts below are what the class pays out — not an entry fee.

ALL-OUT CLASS

Biggest, baddest, all-balls racing. Flagship class.

PAYOUT $10,000

KING OF GRUDGE

Dangerous. Wild. The class everyone watches.

PAYOUT Cash bets & callouts

1/8 MILE

Short track, full send. High-stakes eighth-mile shootout.

PAYOUT $2,000

NA CLASS

Naturally aspirated only. No boost, no excuses.

PAYOUT $2,000

STREET CLASS

Street-driven, tag-and-title legal. The people's class.

PAYOUT $2,000

1/4 MILE

Classic quarter-mile drag racing. Pure drag DNA.

PAYOUT $2,000

ROLL RACING

Rolling start. Big power. Big sounds. Big crowd.

PAYOUT $1,000

DAILY DRIVER

The car you drove here. Send it. Loose, fun, unpredictable.

PAYOUT $2,000

THE RULEBOOK

NHRA RULES APPLY.

South Georgia Motorsports Park is an NHRA Division 2 member track, so the NHRA rulebook is the baseline for tech at this event.

Read the rulebook for your class before you tow. If your car has never been through tech, budget time for it — don't plan on rolling straight to the lanes.

STILL CONFIRMING

ASK BEFORE YOU BUY.

A few event-specific details aren't locked yet. We'd rather say so than post a number you'd plan around:

  • Tech card price and where to buy it
  • Tech inspection hours and location on property
  • Which classes require a chassis cert or licence on the day

Call the track directly — 229-896-7000.

THE DRIFTING

SIDEWAYS FOR $5,000.

Tandem battles on the pad all weekend — judged runs, real brackets, and a cut of the prize pool that stands on its own. Bring tires. Bring more than you think you need.

1ST PLACE

$3,500

2ND PLACE

$1,000

3RD PLACE

$500

  • Judged runs, then tandem battles
  • Runs all three days — Oct 22–24
  • Open to street and purpose-built cars
  • Entry and tech are separate from your pit spot

THE RULEBOOK

SAME RULEBOOK, SIDEWAYS.

South Georgia Motorsports Park is an NHRA Division 2 member track, so the NHRA rulebook is the baseline for tech at this event.

Drift cars get teched too. Even if you've run this car at grassroots events, check the safety sections before you load up — the bar here is the track's, not the last event's.

STILL CONFIRMING

ASK BEFORE YOU BUY.

A few event-specific details aren't locked yet. We'd rather say so than post a number you'd plan around:

  • Driver gear and cage requirements for the drift comp
  • Entry fee and how it differs from a drag class entry
  • Tire rules and whether tires are available on site

Call the track directly — 229-896-7000.
