IOFS TO KICK OFF INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND FRIDAY
The International Outlaw Figure 8 Series (IOFS) is set to kick off Independence weekend this Friday night at Anderson Speedway for round #3 on the 2009 schedule. A full program of events including qualifying and heats will be capped off by a 50 lap feature. Also on the racing program will be the ThunderCars and Front Wheel Drive oval divisions.
A huge field is expected with current IOFS point leader and round #1 winner, Gary Bedell heading the list of expected entries. Also expected is defending Anderson 2008 IOFS winner Charlie Hargraves and Doug Greig who is currently second in the IOFS point standings. Greig has been by far the most consistent driver in the series to date with two runner-up finishes.
Perhaps one of the most interesting entries expected is Christian Rayburn, who is the son of car builder and Late Model Legend CJ Rayburn.Rayburn is a name familiar with Anderson Speedway fans as well as Midwest Late Model fans. The elder Rayburn set a world qualifying record at Anderson Speedway on September 22, 1984 with a lap of 10.880 second around the .250 mile oval. Rayburn set the record in a winged Super Late Model and the record stood for thirteen years until Denny England lowered it to 10.678 with a winged sprint car in 1997.
The younger Rayburn will be making his first asphalt start as well as Figure 8 start in a Jeff Shackleford owned car. Rayburn has spent the majority of his career up to this point running Dirt Late Model's throughout the Midwest. Seeing the Rayburn name associated with Anderson Speedway once again should bring back memories to many who were in attendance that cool fall night in 1984.
Other expected entries include: Jeff Hizer, Chris Green, Jeff Shackleford, Johny Hargraves, Rodney Sizemore, Rich Fenwick, and Richard Dickens among others. Several Anderson Figure 8 drivers are expected to compete as well. A field of twenty-plus cars is expected.
On July 3rd the pit gates will open at 4pm, practice at 5pm, qualifying at 6:30pm, and racing scheduled to begin at 8pm. Admission prices for this event are $10 for adults, children ages 6-12 $4, and children under 5 free. For more info go to: www.iofsracing.com or www.andersonspeedway.com
