Where exactly is that track located? I looked on the track's web site, but it doesn't show an address or directions, which is kind of puzzling in itself.

The track is seven miles east of US 69 on SR 20. You won't be able to miss it.

If I knew where 69 and 20 were, I'd be set.

Get off at the Claremore exit and go until you get to US 69. Or you can go straight East I-44 and turns into 412. Keep going East until you get to US 69 and then go North.

Here's a better way for you guys...............

Take 44 into Tulsa then go due east on 412 (where 44 veers off to Joplin, Mo.)

You will go straight east on HWY 412 for about 25 miles.

Turn NORTH (left) onto 412B

412B is the Mid-America Industrial Park. There is a huge blue sign as your marker to turn.

Take 412B to the very end. It ends at 69A. Turn east (Right)

Go about a mile to 4370 road and Turn North (Left)

Go to HWY 20 (about 3 miles) and turn East (Right)

Then you will be about 3 miles from the track (CANT MISS IT)

This route will avoid numerous traffic lights and lower speed limits through the town of Pryor.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

KOP, if I miss one of those turns, will I start hearing dueling banjos?

If you do, stop at G.A.P. Roofing in the industrial park. That's Glen Passmore's place. Im sure he would protect a fellow sprint car fanatic wink


All kidding aside, you would appreciate the lack of traffic lights and the lower speed limits through downtown Pryor with that route. In fact, there isnt a single traffic light you will hit. Otherwise, you will hit several ones.

The Pryor Chamber of Commerce prefers that you ignore KOP's advice on directions. LOL. Businesses along hwy 69 need your help. The closings and layoffs at a number of industries in the Park has taken it's toll. They need all of your money they can get. Pryor is the largest town close to the race track. If racers or fans are coming in on Friday or earlier, Pryor has plenty of Motels and great eating places and all are reasonably priced. Also, just a mile or so east of the track is an excellent lake (Hudson) for water sports and very good fishing, especially big Cats. And on the other side of the bridge is the town of Salina, the oldest incorporated town in Oklahoma. Although not very large, it does have service stations, grocery stores and antique shops, a nice park and great people. Most of them are Cherokee. In the past when the track was operating full time the town supported the track very well. I know their Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to the Outlaws coming and the continuing success of the new owners. Were all hoping that this event is well attended and supported. All of us in N/E Oklahoma want them back on a regular basis.
