Mid-West Drag Racing Series Launches Huge Double Event at Flying H

The Mid-West Drag Racing Series stages a Double Header Smackdown at Flying H Drag Strip in Odessa, Missouri, on September 24-27, delivering two full points-paying races across four days.

Running two championship rounds in one weekend creates strategic pressure on teams, with set-up decisions, parts management, and turnaround discipline likely to decide points swings.

Race one schedules qualifying on Thursday and eliminations Friday evening. Race two runs qualifying Saturday before Sunday eliminations, maximizing track time and recovery windows.

Headline attractions extend beyond points racing, with Douthit Motorsports returning for a jet car shootout, plus a car show and a small tire shootout to broaden appeal.

The series confirms a purse exceeding $110,000, spanning Pro Mod, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, Pro 4.20, No Time 28 10.5, Pro Junior, and Sportsman Junior.

Pro Mod interest remains a focal point, building on recent coverage of Texas Pro Mod developments and the series’ 32-car lineup planning for upcoming rounds.

Announcer Luke Clevenger underscores the blend of jet cars, Pro Mods, car shows, and championship stakes, pointing to accessible pricing and a family-friendly environment.

Ticketing is pitched to broaden attendance: $60 four-day passes, $25 two-day access on Friday and Saturday, and $10 for Thursday or Sunday.

Children 12 and under are admitted free, and parking is free, strengthening value for multi-day attendance.

Proud American Motorsports offers ride-alongs in two- or three-seat dragsters, providing rare access to acceleration and braking demands from the cockpit.

Flying H’s local categories join Saturday’s program, with Super Pro, 5.30 Index, and 6.50 Index complementing the series schedule.

Series founder Keith Haney urges teams to bring full crews and optimized cars, anticipating the venue’s biggest weekend of the year.

As a double-header, the event becomes a landmark on the series calendar, with potential to reshape title battles before late-season showdowns highlighted by the Northern Nationals.
