2007 23rd Annual Tulsa Shootout This Weekend!
ATV, Micro Sprint Cars, & Go Kart Racing
Tulsa, OK (12/28/2007) – The 2007
racing season is set to end on a high note, as the
23rd Annual Tulsa Shootout will attract approximately
1,000 racing entries from throughout the nation
to the Tulsa Expo Raceway inside the QuikTrip Center
at the Tulsa State Fairgrounds this weekend.
A prelude to the upcoming 22nd Annual Dodge Chili
Bowl Midget Nationals, the Tulsa Shootout features
the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow along with
some already established veterans in a wild mix
of Micro Sprint Cars, Go Karts and Quads.
Following Friday's practice, action kicks off
on Saturday morning with Micro and Quad heats
firing off at 9:00 a.m. with Kart heats to follow.
Semi-mains get under way at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday,
with the Tulsa Shootout championship main events
going green at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday evening.
Currently, approximately 400 Micro Sprints are
entered in five classes, approximately 400 Karts
are entered in 15 classes and approximately 100
Quads are entered in four classes. Another 100
to 200 walk-up entries will bring the final total
of entries to well over 1,000.
More than a dozen drivers will use the Micro
Sprint portion of the Tulsa Shootout to tune up
for the upcoming Chili Bowl Nationals, which takes
place January 8-12, 2008. Among those are World
of Outlaws ace Terry McCarl (taking on the Non-Wing
division) and Tulsa-area hotshoes Brady Bacon,
Donnie Ray Crawford ("A" Class and Non-Wing
winner last year before finishing fifth in Chili
Bowl) and defending 600-cc Multi champion Jerrod
Wilson.
Other defending Micro Sprint Tulsa Shootout winners
include ASCS2 Restricted "A" Class champion
Tanner Mullens of Kansas and Junior Sprint winner
Drew Marshall of Illinois, who not only defends
his Junior Sprint title but takes on the Restricted
"A" Class this year.
Nebraskans Garrett Swiggart and Jody Krug along
with Iowa's Cayden Carter each pulled off double
wins in the Karts last year and will be back to
chase down more Golden Drillers in the Karting
ranks.
Tulsa's Chase Snapp, who swept both the 250-cc
and Open portions of Amateur Quad action in last
year's Tulsa Shootout, makes the move to the Pro
Quad ranks this year. South Dakota's Michael Coburn
swept both portions of last year's Pro Quad action.
Saturday's heat race action is pit passes only
at just $20 each, with pit passes $30 on Sunday.
General admission for Sunday evening's 23rd Annual
Tulsa Shootout championship main events is $15
for general admission.
