It is that time of year when races converge on Tulsa Raceway Park for what is one of the largest events of the year…Throwdown!

In these uncertain times, Todd Martin and Keith Haney have done everything that they can to make sure this event was still going to happen. In fact, I spoke with both of them a few weeks ago and both were solidly behind the idea of still holding the event. Todd happens to have a background in remediation and understands disease and viruses very well. He laid out a very extensive plan for TRP to reopen and also kick off the season with one hell of an event.

The Throwdown is also the kickoff to the 2020 season for Mid-West Pro Mod Series. In typical fashion, racers started to roll through the gates to test yesterday (Wednesday) and continue to test today before the big event kicks off tomorrow. There will be social distancing and very specific rules in an attempt to follow local health department guidelines also. Todd and Keith are very conscious about the health and welfare of the staff, fans, drivers, crew, media, and everyone else on the property at TRP this weekend.

We at E3xtreme are lucky enough to have David Hilner on the property covering the event for us as well as E3xtreme Co-Founder Ellen Eschenbacher, who is a very large part of the organization this year. With that in mind, we know that not everyone has Facebook or other social media, so working in tandem with David and Ellen, E3xtreme will be posting updates, including photos and sheets in this article throughout the weekend. Along with Pro Mods, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Junior Dragster, and X275, Throwdown is pleased to announce that some of the ultra-popular Street Outlaws show and NPK will be in the house. Daddy Dave, Murder Nova, and Kallee Mills will all be there competing in Pro Mod.

Here is additional information from Ellen as well:

*Media: very limited. Do not assume you are on a list. Text Ellen to obtain a copy of the media agreement. You must have a signed media agreement on file before you will be allowed to photograph. You must follow the rules.
*Spectators: MUST purchase parking pass at https://www.stubwire.com/throwdown/ The cost is $15 per car-no limit on passengers. This is NOT negotiable. There is no fee for spectator tickets Fri and Sat. To meet the government requirements to open, we have limited the number or parking passes to be sold. When we reach that number, the system will shut down the sales. This is why drop offs are not permitted.
WE will update the system every time 100 cars leave. We will not allow your car or its occupants reentry to the facility. NO RE-ENTRY.
We are reducing our occupancy to 25% initially. We will be seating every other row; you may not sit on rows marked with red x’s on them. Once we evaluate that spectators are complying with social distancing and the rules, we will open up another 15%. This will be the process for Friday and Saturday.

Please make sure to continue to stop by and check for updates through the weekend. If it is MWPMS, you will find it here on E3xtreme.com.
