Mokan Dragway and Ozark Raceway Park

We’re thrilled to spot Mokan Dragway and Ozark Raceway Park among the listed tracks, as both venues hold significance for us. In April, we’ll be visiting these tracks for The Circuit 2024 event. Mokan Dragway has been a seasoned host for The Circuit for over five years, boasting more than 60 years of racing history along Route 66. This iconic track has witnessed numerous historic races throughout its storied existence. Meanwhile, Ozark Raceway Park welcomed drag and drive racers back in 2018 during the Rocky Mountain Race Week, contributing to its legacy as a premiere facility.

Stay tuned for updates on the final locations and stops along the historic Route 66 journey from the Sick the Mag team. Further updates will be provided as we find them.
