The Classic Returns to Firebird!
Get ready—the NAPA Auto Parts Halloween Classic XXXIII presented by Kendall GM of Idaho is almost here! From Wednesday, October 7 through Sunday, October 11, Firebird Raceway will come alive with five days of racing, competition, and Halloween fun.
Racers will battle in Super Pro, Pro, Heavy, and Sportsman classes for Idaho State Championship Wally trophies, with all champions advancing to the Classic Grand Championship and a shot at a $2,000 bonus payout.
Sled/Bike racers and Junior Dragster drivers will also chase Wally award plaques throughout the weekend.
Fans can look forward to the CPI Motorsports Top Gun Shootout, bonus races on Thursday and Friday, and plenty of action-packed matchups—including the always exciting “War to Settle the Score.” The winner of the Open Wheel side of the ladder will square off with the champion of the Full-Bodied contingent to see who rules supreme.
And don’t miss your chance to grab this year’s exclusive Classic souvenir shirt, featuring a very colorful and quite amazing artistic design in a variety of shirt colors (both adult and kid’s t-shirts, hoodie sweats, crew neck sweats and full-zip sweats).
On behalf of the New family and our team, we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the Classic!
