Happy Holidays From the IRA
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series. We're releasing our tentative schedule as of today, Dec 24th. It's real close to being absolutely complete and accurate, though we've notated possible options or rotations on certain specific dates. Overall it's very similar to last year, and we'll have our typical 30 IRA dates when officially released. We're very fortunate to be able to have as many dates as we do without having to do much traveling. We still get travel requests, but our series has been able to add some quality teams to its' roster the past few years by keeping the travel to a minimum, plus we're blessed to have so many nice venues in our territory, and we're excited to be adding another. It should be noted that we met with the Sun Prairie Fire Dept and they absolutely are removing the inside railing at Angell Park and widening the surface to the inside prior to the 2014 season in hopes of creating yet another quality local venue for IRA to compete.

July 27 could be added at Seymour or Eagle Valley as both are looking for dates. Exact date we'll be running Sheboygan Fair is unclear as it could be Fri or Sat, though it has been Fri past few years. On a positive, absolutely less work days affected than any schedule in past several years.
