The inaugural World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series event at Merle Stone Chevrolet Thunderbowl Raceway occurred in September of 2003 when 20-time series champion Steve Kinser scored victory over Tim Shaffer and Jason Meyers. Apart from 2006 the “Greatest Show on Dirt” has competed at the venue every year since. This weekend’s event features the World of Outlaws both nights, plus the Western RaceSaver Sprints on Friday and the Kings of Thunder Winged 360 Sprint Cars on Saturday. If you’re a fan of Winged Sprint Car racing this is the weekend for you!

Hey GT it's Robert over here on the coast & its dumping pretty good here in Atascadero, sure hoping this all goes away for the weekend. Along with the series regulars, there's so many snow-escaping followers; Shaffer, Brownie, McCarls, PPM, Mason Daniel from ca. but have never seen him race, McMahon etc...would hate to see this one get away. If anything, maybe a sat. nite show. I'll look you up when we get there

You got it Robert! Hoping the weather clears by the end of the week. This is the weekend on the WOO swing that I look forward to the most. Great racing everywhere out here, but there's just something about seeing the best of the best take on the Thunderbowl.

The months of June, July, August are the hottest months of the year in the Central Valley and the crowd just doesn't come out so going dark has been the mode of operation. Once September hits all the special events take place in California so it's always wise to go dark as well. Tulare has operated as a special events venue for a while now and it seems to work.

Along with the hot weather come the county fair.They do a lot of prep for that fair and sprall floats ect all over camping ground.

That makes for complicated times, and tulare really looks forward to the $$$ that come in from the fair.

Love that track and they will do everything they can to get both nights in.

You are right about that GT. And there's nothing like watching TK show the way going up top bangin' that burm & picking them off 2 & 3 at a time coming down the front stretch. It's no coincidence he's beat them 4 times there. Did he win a National Sprint Tour race there as well?
