Jamestown Stampede Driver Calcutta Auction:
• The Jamestown Stock Car Stampede unofficially kicks off Thursday, September 24th at 6:00 PM with the Driver Calcutta Auction in the beer gardens building just south of the grandstands. If you've never seen a Calcutta auction, you'll want to check this one out. A quick explanation of the Calcutta auction is drivers in each class are divided into pairs, then those pairs are auctioned off, and the bidders determine their value by how likely they are to win. Proceeds from the auction are split as follows: 10% will go into the prize fund for the drivers at the Stampede, 50% will go back to the winner's bid in each class, and 40% will go towards charities. Drivers: It is FREE to enter this event and will provide extra money in the prize fund, so please sign-up with the attached registration form!
