It’s almost time for the Classic to return to Firebird!
The excitement is most certainly building for the NAPA Auto Parts Halloween Classic XXXI. The multi-day boo bash will be here before we know it, Wednesday thru Sunday, October 2nd-6th.
Categories for the Classic include: Super Pro, Pro, Heavy and Sportsman. All four overall champions will earn Idaho State Championship Wally awards, pictured below with Baxter, and compete for the Classic Grand Championship, which will award the two-round victor an extra bonus of $2,000 in cash (above and beyond all other weekend winnings). Sled/Bike riders will also compete for an Idaho State title (which includes a coveted Wally award, too).
NHRA State of Idaho Wally award!
Junior Dragster competitors will run in age divisions on Saturday and Lightning and Thunder competing for NHRA Junior Wally trophies on Sunday.
The Lucas Oil Top Gun Shootout returns for the 16 quickest full-bodied cars, which will split the competition ladder with the 16 quickest open-wheeled rides. Billed as the “War to Settle the Score”, we look forward to this special race-within-a-race at the Classic.
A multitude of special bonus races will be offered on both Thursday and Friday, including Super Roller, No Box/Hi-Roller, No Box/Gambler and Sled/Bike Gambler.
If we could recommend one thing, be sure and stop by the souvenir Sport Shop early in the event. This year’s Classic shirts features one of the coolest and most iconic designs in the thirty-one year history of the event.
On behalf of all of us in the New family and our staff, we look forward to seeing everyone this coming weekend!
