Funny Car Chaos will debut at Osage Casino & Hotel Tulsa Raceway Park during the weekend of April 25-26 for the dragstrip’s 60th anniversary event. This marks the first time Funny Car Chaos has appeared at this historic venue.
Special guest Don “The Snake” Prudhomme will attend to meet fans, sign autographs, and kick off the event.
Todd Martin, co-owner of Tulsa Raceway Park, reflects on the milestone.
“It’s a great time at Tulsa Raceway Park,” Martin said. “When I had the dream 13 years ago just to help TRP make it to its 50th Anniversary and see what happens after that, I would have never thought Keith [Haney] and I would now be Celebrating TRP’s 60th Anniversary/Birthday. Many tracks never make 50 years, and now, for us to be one of the few in the country to make 60, we are very honored because we know it could not be done without the support of the Sponsors, Racers, and the community.
“We wanted to Bring Back “The Snake” because he has so much history here at TRP, from the 1972 Funny Car race to the 50th Anniversary, the “Snake and Mongoose” movie running the longest in the country in Tulsa. I want the fans and the community to get to meet this Nitro Legend. I know that, as a kid, I never thought I would ever get to meet him, and now we have become friends because of the sport we love and the place he helped make famous. We hope to have many other great names in drag racing, like Benny Osborn and others, out for this event as well.”

Funny Car Chaos promises to provide a unique atmosphere and an unparalleled experience for fans.
Chris Graves, creator of Funny Car Chaos, anticipates more than 32 outlaw funny cars will participate in the event.
“We expect more Funny Cars on-site than fans have seen in half a century,” Graves said.
Osage Casino & Hotel Tulsa Raceway Park is one of three new facilities on the seven-race schedule for Funny Car Chaos.
