Battle at the Barn
2025 Battle at the Barn XVII presented by Casey's set for January 10-11, 2025
November 11, 2024
DES MOINES, Iowa
January 10th and 11th will be here before we know it. The Midwest temps will be cold, but action inside the Jacobson Exhibition Center at the Iowa State Fairgrounds will be hot as always. Racers in 36 classes from ages 3 to 73 will compete on the lightning fast syrup concrete for the always popular “Barn Door” trophy and champions at the Barn.
Action kicks off the weekend Friday January 10th with pits opening at 11am. General Admission gates will open at 2:00pm and an open practice session for all classes will take the track from 2:00pm – 6:45pm. The Toby K’s Hideaway “Night Caps” will see 10 Features, based on lap times, to end the night starting at 7:15pm.
Saturday morning pit gates will open once again at 9am. General Admission doors will open at 9am, with an open practice from 10:00am – 11:30am. Heat Races will start at 12:00pm with Features at 5:30pm.
New to 2025 will be the Women's Boonie Division and 2 Divisions of Boonie Bikes. On Friday, we will split the Boonie Bike class in half based off of lap times in a selected practice round. The quickest half will move to the Pro Boonies and the remainder of the half will race in the JV division. For example, if there are 60 Boonie Bikes, each division will have 30 riders.
This year we once again will utilize My Race Pass for all event Timing and Scoring.
