POSTED 1-29-09 IOFS SCHEDULE

IOFS READY TO ROLL January 23, 2009 - Indianapolis, IN - International Outlaw Figure 8 Series ( IOFS ) today announced their much anticipated inaugural schedule. The newly formed Outlaw traveling series is set for a very impressive and exciting season if their schedule is any indication. The series will travel to a variety of venues including many which have never hosted Outlaw Figure 8's before. The schedule features events at five speedways in three states although two are listed as tentative. Speedways of interest are two events at the recently reopened Kentucky Motor Speedway in Whitesville, KY and three dates at Plymouth, Indiana. The Plymouth events will showcase Figure 8 racing for the first time in speedway history. A surprise addition to the schedule is Slinger Super Speedway in Sliger, WI with a tentative date.If this date holds this would be the first-ever appearance of Outlaw Figure 8 racing in the Badgerland area. Other speedways listed on the schedule include Anderson, IN and Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, KY. Series representatives Charlie Hargraves and David Sink expressed extreme satisfaction with the inaugural season schedule. "Charlie worked closely with the promoters all winter long for the best possible dates for our fans and teams. Although it was challenging I think everyone should be excited and there may still be additions" Sink insisted. " We had originally announced dates for Montpelier, IN Speedway but the speedway has a new promoter in place. We will work closely with the new promoter and see if we cant get those folks involved again for all our fans who had hoped for some dirt on our schedule. Overall I'm proud of how hard Charlie ( Hargraves ) worked on putting an entertaining schedule together for our first season". The series will now put its focus and attention on purse and tire details both of which will be released in time for the series participation in the Indy Circle Track Expo Trade Show. The show scheduled for Jan. 31 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianaplois, IN. For info on the IOFS go to http://www.figure8news.com until the launch of the series website.
