It’s out there folks, both the news and the idea are some of the biggest we’ve ever heard and we are super excited to be a part of it. Matt Frost announced yesterday that Rocky Mountain Race Week and Race Week will join forces in what some are calling the World Series of Drag and Drives in 2025. Both events are going to happen simultaneously at the same tracks on the same days and will culminate with a shootout that makes all the others pale in comparison. So how the hell is this going to work? How are you going to have two groups of racers at the track at the same time but racing in two different events? And can I be crazy and race in both? Don’t you worry, we got this.

Here’s an example, but just an example: Racers who enter Rocky Mountain Race Week will race in the morning at Tulsa Raceway Park and then head off to their next track. Race Week racers will come into the track in the afternoon and will race that night before heading to the hotel and then making the drive the next day to the next track. See? And each even will be run separately so that we have winners for each event and on the last day we will be separating all our quickest and all our index class cars, into classes and brackets to race for even more money than they have already been up for! That makes the total purse WAY more than $50,000!

We’re already hearing that the heavy hitters are ready to be there. Names like Cline, Larson, Barry, Lutz, and more. Who knows, maybe Tom Bailey will even make an appearance to see how he hangs with all these folks. It’s going to be nuts but it is going to be something special. We’ll be bringing you all the live action right here on BANGshift of course, so if you haven’t already, make sure you check out all of Rocky Mountain Race Weeks social pages to stay tuned for 2025!
