Dirtona Raceway

𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍...

It's officially 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊 for the Inaugural Wheat State Showcase Presented By Horizon Promotions at Dirtona Raceway.

The pits will open at 2:00pm on Thursday afternoon. Grandstands open at 6:00pm, and racing starts at 7:00pm. Drivers meeting at 6:15pm.

We are excited to host everyone for the return of full bodied Stock Car racing to Hugoton, Kansas!

𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒: 𝐔𝐍𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘!

Today is the last day for paid pre-entry before the entry fee rises by $50. After checking pre-entry numbers, and seeing who has actually paid, we have come up with three different scenarios for what we will be able to pay out on preliminary nights.

From now until pre-entry closes at 11:59 pm, each division can unlock a payout level that increases based on how many more pre-entries we get today. Each division can unlock a different level for themselves, so one division could be at Level 1, while another could end up at Level 3.

Level 1: Stock Cars (2 more cars), B-Mods (7 more cars), 4-Cylinders (3 more cars), and Hobby Stocks (6 more cars)
Level 2: Stock Cars (7 more cars), B-Mods (12 more cars), 4-Cylinders (8 more cars), Hobby Stocks (11 more cars)
Level 3: Stock Cars (15 more cars), B-Mods (17 more cars), 4-Cylinders (13 more cars), Hobby Stocks (16 more cars)

Level 3 is hard to reach, but Level 1 is very easy! Even if your division doesn't hit Level 1, we are certain we will be able to pay something out, so don't stress if we don't hit those numbers. We had nearly double that in paid pre-entries alone over the last week so we know the numbers are there!

Who will be on a New Level?

𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄?

We'll be using these all weekend, and then Saturday night's feature winners will be taking these boards home with them!

While we're at it, let's shout out these four fantastic businesses, all of which we hope you are able to support while in town for the Inaugural Wheat State Showcase Presented By Horizon Promotions.

Need parts? Head to Ghumm's NAPA. Need to buy the wife a new car after seeing the look she gave you when you talked about how you need a new race car? Ghumm's Auto Center. Need to eat? Most people do, and Bonnie and Clyde's has great food. Finally, be sure to stop in at Flatlanders Farm & Home for your everyday needs.

𝐊𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐒 + 𝐅𝐀𝐐𝐬

Please read through this post, especially if you are a driver, as there are some key things that drivers should know that will be talked about here.

We know that we will have a lot of new faces at the Inaugural Wheat State Showcase Presented By Horizon Promotions this November, so we wanted to mock up a little diagram for you all so you know what to expect.

First off, we recommend that all drivers coming from the SOUTH take 11th Street / K-51 (Same road, two names) to Road 13, then take Road 13 northbound to the track. Road 13 is the road that runs directly next to the track. Google & Apple Maps will take you up Highway 56 instead, which is the road that is running diagonally to the northwest side of the track. If you take Hwy 56, you will be forced to make a sharp right turn followed by a sharp left to get into the track. It will be MUCH easier to enter via Road 13, and it is no further on distance or time, it just takes you through Hugoton instead of around the outskirts.

Please be mindful that Dirtona Raceway is a pickup/dropoff zone for the local school buses in the morning and the afternoon. Please be mindful and respectful of students waiting for the bus, as well as those crossing the road due to the bus. Our hope is that some open trailers pulling race cars are rolling in to catch the attention of these kids/parents and we get some new fans in the stands for the weekend, so again, please be respectful of them, and we might make some new race fans because of it.

Next, the pit area is large, but we are asking everyone to try to pack in tighter. We will have staff on hand to help direct you where to park. If you are racing alongside friends or family, we recommend you guys try to arrive at the same time to make it easier.

There will be no RVs or Camping Trailers allowed in the pits. They must park either in the fan parking, or get a spot at the RV park across the street.

Our gate workers will be stopping you at the gate. You will stay inside of your vehicle. We will have you sign the waiver forms and pay for your pit bands there. The gate workers will have a list of the drivers that paid their pre-entry. If our Google Sheet says that you did not fully pay the entry, and our email record shows no receipt for purchase, we will be charging you $50 extra at the gate. You have been warned. It does not matter that you filled out the form, what matters is that you have paid.

After you get your bands, you must proceed inside the Pit Shack, where you will be asked to sign forms with Ellen (if needed). Then you will proceed to draw your pill with Vicki. This is also where you will rent a transponder, if needed. We are using the WESTHOLD transponder system, these are the yellow/orange ones. If you own your own, fantastic! Please be prepared to give us your transponder number. If not, you will have to pay to rent one and leave your license with us each day. MyLaps transponders, which are red, blue, or black, will NOT work with the timing system.

Now, keeping this all in mind, we encourage everyone to come with CASH on hand. It is very expensive for us to run cards, as we have to charge a hefty service fee to run our processing system. We will be set up to take card, but when buying pit passes, keep in mind that you will be spending hundreds of dollars at one time, and our service fee runs on a percentage which means a higher chunk of added change. We have seen people save upwards of $25 by paying with cash instead of card.

The Drivers Meeting will be in front of the Pit Shack each day at 6:25pm. Pill draw will close 5 minutes after the conclusion of the Drivers Meeting, or at 6:40pm, whichever occurs first. If you are going to be late on any day, please notify us and we will ensure that you are accounted for and that our gate workers know to wait up for you.

The format is on the event in the "events" tab, which is also the same event we tag in every post. Be sure to click "going" or "interested" on it. We will run a full show each on Thursday and Friday. Pilldraw, heat races, mains. Saturday we will take the total accumulated points from the first two days and line you up for Saturday. If you are unable to make it for Thursday, but plan on making it for at least Saturday, if not both Friday and Saturday, then you should pay your pre-entry. Not only will you save yourselves $50 at the gate, but you will still earn points, even if you aren't racing, which betters your position for Saturday. It is possible to have two bad days in a row and still come out the winner on Saturday, we have seen it before, multiple times. We have also seen somebody have one bad night, one good night, and then go win it. Thursday can be your bad night.

We will be running a tight show, especially the first two nights. We will be green flag by 7:00pm and we will be aiming to be done from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. We have run two hour shows in the past from start to finish, so it is nothing new to our crew to be efficient when needed. Please prepare accordingly.

If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Let's make this one badass show.

𝐏𝐑𝐄-𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖!

Thank you to the 4-Cylinders! We asked you guys to step up and you did in a HUGE way!

We now have double digit PAID pre-entries in every class. Thank you to everyone who has paid their pre-entry, and we hope everyone continues to pre-enter as we are now just TWO WEEKS away from the Inaugural Wheat State Showcase Presented By Horizon Promotions at Dirtona Raceway!

In fact, the 4-Cylinders did such a great job that now we are asking the other three divisions to step up: B-Mods/Northern Sportmods/Limited Modifieds, Stock Cars, and Hobby Stocks! Let's get those paid pre-entries in!

The 4-Cylinders passed the Hobby Stocks, so now the Hobby Stocks are at the bottom of the pre-entry numbers. Let's get those numbers up and see which class represents themselves the best in November!

Maybe Horizon Promotions will put up a special bonus for the highest car count? 👀

𝐏𝐑𝐄-𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄

There is now only 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐒 left to pre-enter, as the pre-entry ends on November 1st. It will be $50 more after 11/1, so get your pre-entry in now! Don't be scared to pre-pay, if there is an issue, we will get it taken care of.

There was a $5,000 to win B-Mod show with 50 cars just a few hours away a couple weeks ago. There was just a show this weekend with nearly 50 Stock Cars, over 30 Sportmods, and nearly 30 Hobby Stocks just a few hours north. There was a track that had 20 4-Cylinders just a few hours away at their last show a couple weeks ago. We know the cars are here in this area. Please load them up one last time and come race with us as we work to revive the idea of Stock Car racing at Dirtona Raceway.

Northern Sportmods, there are more of you in this area than any other form of B-Mod. Our rules are set up to where you guys can race and all forms of B-Mods are competitive with each other. Don't miss out on a chance to race for $5,000 to win. Most of our entries right now are USRA Limited Modifieds.

IMCA cars, our rules are set up to where you are EQUAL to the USRA cars! All Stock Cars must be on a 2bbl, there is no difference in the 4-Cylinders, and all of our Hobby Stocks right now are IMCA cars. There is not a single reason that we shouldn't be able to have 100 cars in the pits. Please come support us so we can continue doing this.

$50 extra to last place in each division, $150 longest tow in 4-Cylinders, $200 longest tow in B-Mods, new sets of tires, certificates to Dynamic Drivelines and Landrum Springs, trophies, signs, t-shirts, and so much more are on the line. Don't miss out on it!
