Previous Reserve ticket holders for DTWC at KC Raceway

As I am sure you have heard by now, the 31st annual DTWC is back at KC Raceway on Oct. 13th 14th and 15th. If you are receiving this letter it means you were there for a previous DTWC and I’m sure remember how good the racing was. We hope you will make plans now to be with us this Oct. for this years Dirt Track World Championship.

This years DTWC is being sanctioned by the Lucas Oil series and will be their grand finale. “We are extremely proud to be joined by as our major sponsor and by the Lucas Oil Series whose year began in Florida this February and will conclude with the DTWC at KC Raceway in October” stated promoter Carl Short.

If you had reserve seats previously, we want you to have the opportunity to renew the seats you had. The previous owner/operators sold the tickets when the DTWC was at KC before and it took a little while to get those records from them, which they so generously dug out of their records.

The only problem is due to the time element and dozens of phone calls and emails from people wanting to get their tickets, we are only going to be able to give you until March 15th to guarantee your old seats before they go on sale to the general public.

This year we are bringing back the crowd favorite Jim Dunn Memorial race for non qualifiers. This was always a hit with both fans and competitors. We are also bringing back the modifieds that always put on a great show at KC. Couple this with the $50,000 to win Dirt Track World Championship, Lucas Oil Finale and we think you’ll agree that this is one event that you don’t want to miss.

You can go to the dirttrackworldchampionship.com website for all of the details and ticket ordering. You can also reach Carl at 865-945-3423 or racetenn@yahoo.com.
