FAQ
Q: I just started drifting, is this event beginner-friendly?
A: Absolutely!! Everyone has to experience their first day on track, and we’d love to help you have a good one. There are plenty of experienced drivers around to give you some pointers or even ride along with you and help point out some areas you could improve, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Q: Can I drift my convertible?
A: Yes but you will need at a minimum a rollover bar.
Q: Do I need a roll cage to drift on track?
A: You don’t need a full cage to participate. Cages with door bars are only required for tandem drifting unless approved by the staff. Other than that, buy your pass, bring your helmet, make sure you meet the tech requirements, and you’re good to go.
Q: What’s the layout like/how does the track time work/is there hotlapping?
A: We run two different layouts throughout the day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. We don’t have the space for a hot lap layout, so there is a start and finish. Both layouts will be explained in the driver's meetings.
Q: Will there be a tire machine at the track?
A: Yes we will have 2 tire techs on site.
Q: Can I get a ride a long?
A: You’re more than welcome to ask any of the drivers in the pits for a ride. Most drivers are more than happy to help someone experience their first ride in a drift car. It usually helps get you in the car if you have your own helmet for the ride.
Q: Is there food and drink at the track?
A: Yes, there are concessions on site. No grills of any kind are allowed in the pits.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: Yes, keep them leashed and clean up any waste they leave behind, please.

Hawkeye Downs Enduro Race + Powder Puff Enduro
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
Our August 10th Interstate Power Systems Enduro, Presented by Marion Tire Co. and Mt. Vernon Road Tire Co., will be a 200-lap oval course. We’re excited to host the All Seasons Automotive Powder Puff Enduro following our main enduro!
This enduro is part of the Grundy County Speedway Cross-State Enduro Challenge with Hawkeye Downs.
Enduro racing (also known as endurance racing) is a very popular and inexpensive type of racing that is fun for anyone! The race starts with a short warm-up lap, and then drivers complete timed laps around the track. Enduro races are much longer, as they often last several hours.
These races are designed on our asphalt track at Hawkeye Downs. In recent years, our racing team has designed a road course with obstacles ranging from small jumps to high-speed corners, making it perfect for enthusiasts of all levels of driving skill. While not every enduro race includes a road course, some races during the season will include the added challenge.

FAQ
Q: I just started drifting, is this event beginner-friendly?
A: Absolutely!! Everyone has to experience their first day on track, and we’d love to help you have a good one. There are plenty of experienced drivers around to give you some pointers or even ride along with you and help point out some areas you could improve, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Q: Can I drift my convertible?
A: Yes but you will need at a minimum a rollover bar.
Q: Do I need a roll cage to drift on track?
A: You don’t need a full cage to participate. Cages with door bars are only required for tandem drifting unless approved by the staff. Other than that, buy your pass, bring your helmet, make sure you meet the tech requirements, and you’re good to go.
Q: What’s the layout like/how does the track time work/is there hotlapping?
A: We run two different layouts throughout the day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. We don’t have the space for a hot lap layout, so there is a start and finish. Both layouts will be explained in the driver's meetings.
Q: Will there be a tire machine at the track?
A: Yes, there will be 2 tire techs on site.
Q: Can I get a ride a long?
A: You’re more than welcome to ask any of the drivers in the pits for a ride. Most drivers are more than happy to help someone experience their first ride in a drift car. It usually helps get you in the car if you have your own helmet for the ride.
Q: Is there food and drink at the track?
A: Yes, there are concessions on site. No grills of any kind are allowed in the pits.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: Yes, keep them leashed and clean up any waste they leave behind, please.
