🔥 THE UNBRIDLED SPIRIT JET CAR IS IN THE RUNOFF! 🔥
The Unbridled Spirit Jet Car will make its dial-in run around 9:15–9:30 PM this Saturday night!
Family, friends, and race fans — DON’T MISS THIS! Head over to Kentucky Dragway Saturday, August 29th, 2026!
Gates open 2pm
Time Runs 4pm
ELIMINATIONS TO FOLLOW
Now, like I said… HERE’S THE PLOT TWIST:
💥 YOU’VE GOT TO BEAT THE UNBRIDLED SPIRIT JET CAR IN THE RUNOFF! 💥
You heard me right.
If the Jet Car is closer to its dial-in on its single run than ANY of the runoff competitors are to theirs, then NOBODY WINS THE $500!
That money BLEEDS OVER TO LABOR DAY WEEKEND and becomes:
🏁 $1,000 TO WIN THE RUNOFF! 🏁
And I’m personally adding the DOLLAR CLUB to it the following week!
However many entries we have for Labor Day Weekend, Kentucky Transport will add $1 PER ENTRY directly into the Runoff pot!
50 entries = another $50
100 entries = another $100
150 entries = another $150
You want the money?
COME BEAT THE JET CAR. 😎🔥
Saturday night at Kentucky Dragway — this one is going to be FUN!

Like I said, the plot twist is, you got to beat the Unbridled Spirit Jet car in the Runoff. You hurd me, if the Jet car is closer to it's dial in on the singles than any runoff competitors then the $500 bleeds over to the next weekend and becomes $1,000 to win. #HARDHATBLUECOLLARSERIES
I will personally add the dollar club to it as well the following week, How ever many Entries we have, I will add $1 x Entries to the Runoff pot from Kentucky Transport
