Feel free to print this page out and put it on the fridge or the race shop wall so you always have a list of the 2011 Iowa Figure 8 Racing Season. I have also done each track separately under the main list in alphabetically order that way if you are just wanting a certain track schedule you can have that also. I don't have all the tracks listed yet. I'm still waiting for some information on some. So if you see a figure 8 track that is not listed and you have information about it feel free to email me with a contact or information on it and I'll get it posted right away. I'm here to please you the drivers and the fans any way I can.

Hello Drivers & Fans,
This is Jason & Dianna Bryan, the ones who are responsible for bringing this website to life. I was raised around Winterset, IA. Dianna was raised around Montezuma, IA. In 1993 I moved to Jefferson in Greene County and that is where we call home today. I'm currently employed with Syngenta Seeds Soybean Production Plant here in Jefferson. Dianna is a CNA/CMA/Restorative Aide at Regency Park here in town. Dianna & I were brought together through figure 8 racing. We met each other in the grandstands at the Barnes City races in the Fall of 2003 and it was love at first sight. We did the long distance dating for 4 months. Then Dianna decided to move to Jefferson in December 2003. We were engaged Christmas night 2004 and we were married on May 21, 2005 and couldn't be any more happier together. We both have always had a passion for motor sports and I've always had a passion for photography. We thought why not bring the two together and share with the rest of the world. I've always had a love for figure 8 races and their popularity seems to keep growing each year in the state of Iowa. I'm going to bring you what I see through the viewfinder on my camera and share with you what news we find.
Your figure 8 racing friends,
Jason & Dianna Bryan
My interest in figure 8 racing began when I first attended the Warren County Speedway in Indianola, Iowa when I was in high school. From then on I knew I was hooked on the motor sport and wanted to see more and more races. To this day I have attend 21+ different figure 8 tracks over the years at the following towns in Iowa- Adel, Audubon, Barnes City, Brooklyn, Coon Rapids, Denison, Dunlap, Fort Dodge, Greenfield, Grundy Center, Hampton, Harlan, Indianola, Jefferson, Maxwell, Mount Ayr, Osage, Primghar, Rockwell City, Sac City, Sigourney, Winterset. Along with out of state tracks in Wheatland, MO & Indianapolis, IN, Weeping Water, NE & Odessa, MO. Some of those town no longer have figure 8 races and some are going stronger that ever.
Dianna grew up with 4 different tracks surrounding where she lived. They were Brooklyn, What Cheer, Barnes City & Sigourney. She made it to a few of the races when she wasn't busy working. Now since we are together she tries to attend every figure 8 race she can with me. There are some during the day which she can't make it to since she works the day shift.
In 2008 we created the Iowa Krazy 8 Racing Series in Eastern Iowa and ran it in 2008 and 2009 season. It was a lot of fun to do the series and have 3 classes of car racing in the series that include the 2 man Cruiser, Stock, Pro Stock, & Open class figure 8 cars. But with our busy schedule we won't be able to continue the series.
"GOT FIGURE 8 RACING ADDICTION?"
Welcome to the Iowa Krazy 8 Racing Fanatics website showcasing figure 8 racing from around Iowa and includes everything from Racing News, Pictures, & Racing Schedules where drivers will be battling it out in 2010 season each weekend in Iowa and surround states to see who is the best of the best in the Midwest. We'll be making visits throughout the 2010 racing season at some of the following tracks - Barnes City; Coon Rapids; Fort Dodge; Grundy Center; Hampton; Indianola; Primghar; What Cheer and many other tracks in Iowa in the 2010 season.
Dianna & I want to take a moment and THANK everyone for making our 7th year on the internet such a great success by stopping by to visit the website to view pictures and read news and also to use it to your benefit. We wouldn't been able to do this website with out the figure 8 motor sport and all the promoters, drivers and fans support that make it possible. We want to wish all the drivers the best of luck in the 2010 racing season at all the tracks around Iowa and surround states. We would also like to wish all the promoters the best season in 2010 and last of all to the fans out there like Dianna & I. We want to THANK YOU for stopping by and checking out our website and posting your thoughts on the message board and we welcome you all to continue coming to the website in 2010 and spreading the word around about the site and supporting us as fans and supporting your local tracks and drivers. We look forward to another terrific year with you all in 2010!
