Liberal Schedule
February 12, 2010 by Ed Beckley
Filed under LFGS News
The second year for us is coming up in Liberal and we have had great sucess. Our goal was to get racing back to the race fan so they would see how good of a show they have been missing. So far so good. Race cars are being built, race track was great after Tony and the Seward Bridge and Road Crew completely revamped the old “D” shaped dirt track.
We honored the tracks past Champion the late Nut Cokely and also honored one of the nicest guys you would ever meet in racing Don Graves. The BST held last year saw over 60 IMCA Modifieds there in one night! This year the Mods are back and so is the BST SERIES.
Also turning up the heat in 2010 will be the fire breathing 360 Sprint Cars. The Kansas Outlaw Sprint Cars which is a combination of 305 and 360 Sprint Cars will be there several times this year and opening it up to 360’s will allow several more Liberal racers a chance to compete.
Here below is the Schedule – still tenative because we are adding some dates still and we are for sure bringing the Monster Truck Summer Nationals back.
Let’s Go Racing in Liberal!

Filed under LFGS News
Race fans and racers we just finished with scheduling our BST IMCA MODIFIED race for Liberal and it is on for September 19th and we are excited to be able to offer these races to our Monster IMCA Modifieds.
BST has cut their amount of race tracks in Kansas down and we are proud to say that Liberal, Dodge and also Millie over at Hugoton is on the list to host BST – IMCA Modified Series races for 2010.
Every race will count for BST NATIONALS points that even makes it more special and will increase the amount of cars that will be coming to race.
Snow’s gonna be deep this weekend but already racers and race fans are ready for it to be race season. Pancake 50 lap IMCA Stock Car race is coming this year also!
Let’s Go Racing!

The schedule for the BST Modifieds for Southwest Kansas tracks is:
