For the first time in its more than 50-year history at the current location, Windy Hollow Dragway and Windy Hollow Speedway will run racing events simultaneously at both tracks tonight.

The Dragway will host its first WDRA Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series tonight with a special visit from the Outlaw Gassers. The bracket racing classes will include Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Factory Street, Trophy Class, and Junior Dragster. The Outlaw Gassers will showcase nostalgic straight-axel cars and trucks whose program will also include ride-alongs for the children in attendance down the 1/8-mile strip.

Meanwhile, the Speedway will host RPM Promotions LLC’s Nicky & Earl Hayden Memorial Flat Track Race. The event was originally scheduled for June 1 but was postponed due to rain. The event includes a 10K Pro Outlaw Purse.

Both tracks’ drivers and spectators will take part in a special opening ceremony at 6 p.m. at Windy Hollow Speedway as part of the Hayden Memorial Race.

“This will be a historical day at Windy Hollow with both tracks running,” said track promoter Trevor Hutchins. “We look forward to the opportunity and hope everyone comes out and joins us.”
