About the event
Let’s get together and do what Kyle loved most. 🏁
This Saturday night, I-29 Dragway is opening the gates for a special night of Grudge Racing and an Open Burnout Pit.
We’ve seen the incredible outpouring of love and heartbreak from the community, and we want to give everyone a place to gather, cruise in, and celebrate the life and legacy of our friend, Kyle Loftis. To help get as many of you out here as possible to share stories, hang out, and lay down some rubber, we are dropping our prices for the night. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity to be determined in Kyle's honor.
* 🕒 **Gates Open:** 4:00 PM
* 🎟️ **General Admission/Entry:** $10 (Discounted from $15)
* 👶 **Kids 12 & Under:** FREE
* 🏎️ **Tech Cards (Racing):** $40 (Discounted from $50)
* 💨 **Burnout Pit Entry:** FREE
* 🍔 **Food Trucks:** We will have food trucks on-site to keep everyone fueled up!
*Please note: While we are dedicating this Saturday night to honoring Kyle's massive impact on our track and the racing world, this is an unofficial gathering. An official 1320 Video memorial event will be announced at a later date.*

Whether you’re joining one of the cruises to the track, making a pass, hitting the burnout pit, or just coming to share a memory of that giant smile, let’s make some noise for Kyle this weekend. (Bonus points if you bring out a white car!)
See you all Saturday night at 4:00 PM. 🤍 #SmileLikeKyle
