Here is a sneak peak at the 2020 Major Event schedule. Although we will be adding many more dates to the official schedule, this provides a little insight into the key multi-day events next season.
So you can better plan your vacation racing calendar, here’s several key weekends.
First up will be the 50th Anniversary NAPA Auto Parts Ignitor Opener presented by Peterson Chevrolet. Set for May 1-3, 2020, Firebird’s longest running event will once again be aligned with the Division 6 Lucas Oil Drag Race Series. The event will also play host to the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series with the AA/Nitro Funny Car class making their first of two Boise stops in the chase for the Heritage national championship.
In celebration of the 40th year, the Project Filter Oldies But Goodies Drags is locked in for the weekend of May 30-31, 2020. The 200 mph AA/Supercharged coupes and sedans will headline an action packed race and show `n shine.
The 42nd Annual Little Caesars Pizza Great American Fox Hunt presented by Bronco Motors Family of Dealerships returns on June 12-13, 2020. Highlighting the event will be the first appearance of the season of the wildly popular Jets and the crowd favorite “Outlaw” wheelstander.
A tradition in western Idaho since 1972, August has long been home to the Nightfire Nationals. Running August 6-9, 2020, the track’s milestone weekend will showcase the sights `n sounds of NITRO! Additionally, the nationally-recognized Bracketeer Series will offer Firebird’s richest race of the season for racers expected from fifteen states and Canada.
Our final major event of 2020 will be the NAPA Auto Parts Halloween Classic. Classic XXVII returns October 7-11, 2020. The planning wheels are already in motion for what promises to be one of the most “fun” and “exciting” races of the season.
