May 22-24th, 2026

The Western Colorado Dragway Shootout is one of the premier bracket racing weekends on the Western Slope, bringing together top competitors for three days of high-level, limited-field competition.

Held over Memorial Day weekend, the Shootout features both Super Pro and No Box classes, giving racers a structured, competitive format with strong guaranteed payouts and a professionally run program from start to finish.

All competition is contested on the 1/8-mile under NHRA guidelines, with a program designed to keep cars moving and the racing tight.

If you’re looking for a well-organized, competitive bracket race with serious payouts and a professional atmosphere, the Western Colorado Dragway Shootout delivers.
