Circus Motorsports is proudly announcing the return of the  Darrell Russell Memorial Golf Tournament presented by CAPCO PIPELINE CONTRACTORS & TORRENCE RACING and will be held prior to the O'reilly Nationals at Evergreen Point Golf Club  just a short drive from Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, TX. The tournament is open to all racers, crew members, NHRA and sponsors.

Darrell Russell represented the passion, camaraderie and competitive spirit that are the heart and soul of NHRA drag racing. Never were these qualities more apparent than in Darrell's seventeen years as a Sportsman Racer & Top Fuel Driver. While his death in 2004 was sudden he amassed many accolades along the way. He was the 2001 Rookie Of The Year and at the time was only the third driver to win in his Professional debut. All proceeds after expenses will be donated in Darrell Russell's name to charities within NHRA  and racers/members in need.

On Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 12:30 pm the tournament will begin with a shotgun start. Check in will begin at 11:00 am at the clubhouse. The course is located just  10 minutes away from  Royal Purple Raceway at 1530 Evergreen Road in Baytown, Texas 77523.  At the conclusion of the tournament there will be an awards dinner with trophies presented. The event is a relaxed four player scramble type format which gives everyone a chance to play and have fun. This outing is planned to encourage fellowship in our sport and to create new friendships.

Evergreen Point Golf Club is a beautiful, well maintained facility with all the latest innovations, including PGA Professionals, large club house, full service food bar, and a well stocked pro shop. On the course during play we will have two fully stocked beverage carts to meet our needs. After check-in, you will have complimentary access to the driving range and putting green.

This year, NHRA and Royal Purple Raceway have extended their invitation to park early (Wednesday) and then tech your car. NHRA & Royal Purple Raceway requires racers that want to park early, all must be pre-entered into the golf tournament as a player and on the golf tournament  parking list by Friday April 20, 2012.  Absolutely, No exceptions!

At this time, we have several sponsorship opportunities available; including, but not limited to (2) long drive, (2) closest to the pin 1st and 2nd shot, (2) longest putts, a beverage cart sponsorship, chartered bus sponsorship, etc. Please contact Tammy Lauria, myself or Gregg Odom for additional information regarding sponsorship pricing or any ideas you may have to make your experience better. We look forward to a very successful golf tournament.

Please join us for an awesome day of fun with your friends, competitors, and sponsors.
