The 33rd annual NAPA Halloween Classic will be held at Firebird on October 7th-11th. Presented by Kendall GM of Idaho, this is the final major racing event of the season and features an extensive schedule of racing and family-friendly activities.

No other event all season long matches the sheer volume and quantity of racing that takes place during the last major racing stop of the season. Full of all kinds of surprises, the Classic has become one of Firebird’s grandest happenings.

We can’t wait for the return of trick or treating to kid’s games, along with all the other fun and activities planned for Classic XXXIII. If you can only attend one day of the event, Saturday, October 10, is the big day! We will offer games for the kids, a kid’s costume contest, pumpkin carving, coloring contest, and trick or treating from trailer to trailer thru the pit area. Adults will get an opportunity to show off their costumes (contest) following the conclusion of the Air Show on Sat. night.

The wild Air Firebird Wheelstanding super show returns center-stage on Saturday evening. The event will also crown a Classic Grand Champion, which will pit the major eliminator winners at day’s end Sunday.

The 32-car CPI Motorsports Top Gun Shootout returns, too. The fastest open wheelers will square off with the quickest full bodied rides.
