The pinnacle event for the 2013 season will be the 7th Annual “World Nationals”, scheduled for September 19th – 21st.  The event roars to life with the Cookies BBQ Sauce kickoff on practice night.  After practice, free food and a live band will highlight Thursday night activities.  On Friday night, the IMCA Modifieds will run two sets of heats as they vie for the top 10 qualifying positions for the Saturday night $10,000 to win feature event.  The IMCA Stock Cars along with the IMCA SportMods will be running for $1,000 to win on both Friday and Saturday nights and the IMCA Hobby Stocks will be going after a $500 top prize.  The IMCA Sport Compacts will compliment the field on Friday night, and the Mod Lites along with the Karl Chevrolet DTRA Dirt Trucks will be a welcome addition to the Saturday night finale.  The 2013 “World Nationals” will be a Hawkeye Dirt Tour event.
