Along with the headlining Big Dog event, the Renegade series will also be on hand for all three days of the event, as well as the Quick-32 Doorslammers. A brand new attraction for this weekend's event will be the HED 275 Drag Radial class, which competes heads-up. This exciting class can be seen all three days of the event with shakedown runs on Thursday, followed by qualifying on Friday and eliminations on Saturday.
 
On Friday night, fans will get a sample of the head to head action with what Piedmont describes as a "Dog Fight". With $500 worth of bonus money going to the winner, the No. 1 qualifier from the north will face the No. 1 qualifier from the south. This format of eliminations will continue down the qualifying ladder all the way to the No. 8 pairing of cars. This dog fight style of eliminations will also be featured in the Renegade series on Friday night as a special bonus.
 
On Saturday afternoon, competitors will get one last qualifying shot down Piedmont's eighth mile. Final eliminations in all classes will begin at 3:00pm on Saturday.
