The upcoming spring edition of the Throwdown in T-Town at Osage Casino Hotel Tulsa Raceway Park will contest TWO Events in a 4-day period due to the first MWDRS Race being canceled due to rain in Ferris TX. The Throwdown always has a diverse lineup of cars, including everything from nationally touring Pro Mods and Funny Cars to nostalgia Gassers, local sportsman racing, and much more. It all goes down May 10-13, and FRE<\/a>E TICKETS\u00a0for the event are available now.<\/div>\n

\u201cThis has become a nationally recognized, can\u2019t-miss event,\u201d said Keith Haney, co-owner, Tulsa Raceway Park. \u201cWhether you\u2019re a fan or a racer, you\u2019ve gotta make plans to be a part of this event. Fans have come to expect a thrilling, diverse show at the Throwdown, and they absolutely pack the place. Racers come from all over the country because they want to put on a great show in front of a huge crowd. It\u2019s a win-win for everyone involved.\u201d<\/div>\n

The main event for the Throwdown in T-Town is the Summit Racing Equipment Mid-West Drag Racing Series (MWDRS) presented by J&A Service DOUBLE EVENT, with their Stroud Safety Pro Mod and J&A Service Funny Car classes leading the way.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t beat Pro Mods and Funny Cars running in the 3.50-second range at well over 200 mph,\u201d said Todd Martin, co-owner, Tulsa Raceway Park. \u201cThese racers are competing for MWDRS championships, so they\u2019re going to lay it all on the line. The MWDRS season opener was postponed due to weather and now Tulsa will have TWO Shows for all you great fans to see\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Along with Pro Mod and Funny Car, MWDRS classes at the Throwdown will include big names such as Pat Musi Top Sportsman, icon Forged Pistons Top Dragster, and RaceStar Wheels Pro Jr. Dragster and Zimmerman Properties Sportsman Jr. Dragster.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cYou never know who or what you\u2019re going to see at the Throwdown,\u201d Haney said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had the\u00a0Street Outlaws\u00a0guys, we\u2019ve had Top Fuel dragsters, and Scott Palmer\u2019s \u2018Studezilla\u2019 Top Fuel Pro Mod. We always try to bring in jet cars and wheelstanders and things like that to make the show even more exciting, especially for the kids.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Between the action-packed racing on the track and fun and games in the pits and on the midway, the Throwdown in T-Town has become a favorite event for kids of all ages.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is a family-friendly event,\u201d Martin added. \u201cWe want Mom and Dad to pile all the kids and their friends into the car, pay one price to park the car, and everyone gets in with free tickets. We have food specials, drink specials, and fantastic food from our concession stand and carnival food vendors along with totally updated restrooms on both sides of the track. We have everything you could possibly need for a fun, exciting night out at the races.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Haney, Martin and the Osage Casino Hotel Tulsa Raceway Park team roll out the red carpet for fans at the Throwdown, with prize giveaways, Super Play rides for kids, and much more on tap.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something for everyone at the Throwdown, whether you\u2019re coming to the track for the first time or you\u2019ve been a lifelong drag racing fan,\u201d Martin said. \u201cWe really crank up the entertainment factor for this race. There\u2019s always something exciting happening on the track, but there\u2019s also fun things to do in the pits. All of the drivers love meeting the fans and signing autographs, and the best part is every ticket includes a pit pass.\u201d<\/div>\n
