Hoosier Dirt Shootout update: July 22nd 2020
The Hoosier Dirt Shootout presented by the Illinois State Rifle Association at the Kokomo Speedway is ready to welcome the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model series July 31st & August 1st. Officials from the World of Outlaws, Kokomo Speedway and FALS Promoter, Matt Curl, have been working closely with Indiana officials in preparation for the two-day event. Indiana guidelines will allow 50 percent capacity for the event, which is set to open up on Friday, July 31st highlighted by Showdown Features for the WoO Late Models and Summit Modified Nationals.
With the 50 percent capacity limit, officials will be pre-selling a limited number of two-day advanced event tickets leading up to the race weekend. Those fans who purchase a two-day advanced ticket are guaranteed into the event. If there are any available tickets remaining from the allotment of the presale, they will be sold on race day at a first come, first served basis starting at 4pm on Friday, July 31st. All advanced tickets will be available for pickup at the “Will Call” tent starting at noon on Friday, July 31st. Blankets can be put down starting at 3pm for those ticket holders.
Pit passes will only be available for purchase at the pit gate starting at noon on Friday, July 31st. Although not mandatory, pre-registering your race car for the WoO Late Model Series or the Summit Modified Nationals will guarantee pit passes for your team. Please send a text or email to Promoter Matt Curl @ 309-532-7862 or fairburyspeedway@gmail.com. There will be a limit of pit passes that can be purchased by fans. Fans will be able to upgrade their two-day general admission ticket to a pit pass at the track, but they must buy an advanced ticket to guarantee them a seat for the weekend.
Reserved camping has been sold out as of 7/23, however, if you’d like to be put on a waiting list for overflow email us at: falstickets@gmail.com. Advanced tickets can be purchased on the Fairbury Speedway, WoO, or Kokomo Speedway websites.
Camping opens up Wednesday night, July 30th at 5pm for all reservations. As a reminder to campers, golf carts are allowed but there will NOT be any additional space to store trailers and will need to be placed on your reserved spot. Upon arrival to the track, camping officials will park each camper with a reservation.
Event information and competitor notes have been added to the Fairbury Speedway, WoO, and Kokomo Speedway websites for fans and drivers attending the Hoosier Dirt Shootout.
7/9/20: $25,000-to-win Hoosier Dirt Shootout presented by the Illinois State Rifle Association sets ?huge World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series event on July 31st, August 1st at the Kokomo Speedway??
The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series will be invading Kokomo Speedway — one of Indiana’s legendary bullrings — in a special Fairbury Speedway promoted event on the weekend of July 31st & August 1st. While the postponement of the Prairie Dirt Classic in 2020 was very disappointing to many, track owner Matt Curl and the O’Connor family came together with the World of Outlaws to create what will be one of the most exciting races in the Midwest this year. From a purse in excess of $125,000 for the event, the winner will pocket $25,000 as the Hoosier Dirt Shootout presented by the Illinois State Rifle Association will follow the same format as the hugely popular PDC.
Friday, July 31, will feature hot laps, qualifying, and $2,500-to-win, $200-to-start, 25-lap showdown features for the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Models, and $500-to-win, $100-to-start, 20-lap DIRTcar UMP Modified features. Depending on the car counts for each division, they will be split up in equal showdown features, which will transfer cars to the A-Mains on Saturday.
Events on Saturday, Aug. 1, include Last Chance Showdowns for the World of Outlaws Late Models and DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, a World of Outlaws non-qualifier Summit Racing Equipment Shootout paying $2,000-to-win, a DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Championship Feature paying $5,000-to-win, and finally the $25,000-to-win Hoosier Dirt Shootout.
Advanced two-day general admission tickets are available online along with reserved camping. Camping reservation will secure a spot for the weekend and exact placement will be determined upon arrival starting at 5pm Wednesday July 29th. Advanced ticket holders will have a one-hour head start to put down blankets and secure their seats for the Hoosier Dirt Shootout weekend. Also noting that an advanced two-day general admission will guarantee admittance if occupancy totals come in to play.
