Jerry,
Ed, Tim, and Troy Herbst, who all love the sport of off-road
racing, make a special contribution to this event by sponsoring
a big after-race “Western Barbecue” celebration
in the parking lot of their Terrible’s Town Casino.
After a hard day of racing, it’s a great way to
finish the day; eating barbecue chicken and watching the
racers come in! The Awards Presentation will be held on
Sunday at the Terrible’s Lakeside Casino & RV
Park, which was voted in the top 100 most beautiful RV
Parks in the country. Folks says, "We could not of
had a more beautiful setting for the awards last year,
I can’t wait to go back!" There will also be
a free fireworks show Friday night at the Terrible’s
Lakeside by the beautiful lake.
