With 1,653 entries drawn in, the 40th annual Tulsa Shootout is right on the brink of establishing a new event for most entries.

Split into six different classes, the “Mecca of Micros” offers Winged Outlaw (240 cars), Outlaw Non-Wing (366 cars), Stock Non-Wing (396 cars), A-Class (375 cars), Restricted (170 cars), and Jr. Sprints (106 cars). We’ll know the official and final tally on Tuesday or Wednesday when sign-in is completed and Heat Races are set.

As you watch every lap live on FloRacing this week, here’s a quick breakdown of the difference in divisions.

OUTLAW (Wing & Non-Wing)

This is your headlining division, the premier class, the big one at the Tulsa Shootout. This is the one that micro sprint competitors from around the country dream of winning one day. Traditionally, Winged Outlaw has been the main attraction with the 55-lap finale, but Tulsa Shootout officials wanted to shake things up this year and Outlaw Non-Wing will hold the 55-lap A-Main for the first time in event history.

The sky's the limit in this class. Many engines are professionally built nowadays with a 640cc max displacement, there are bigger 14 sq. feet wings to provide extra downforce, and cockpit adjustments to tweak your shocks and wings are allowed.

The unique distinction in car count for Winged Outlaw to Outlaw Non-Wing is because a good majority of racers will simply run their “Stock” car in the Outlaw Non-Wing class. Due to the size of the track and the nature of non-wing racing, the smaller motor is less of a disadvantage when the wing is not a factor. In fact, many of the Outlaw Non-Wing champions over the years have done it with a “Stock” engine under the hood.

STOCK (A-Class & Non-Wing)

More of an entry level type class, these are year-in and year-out the biggest divisions at the Tulsa Shootout and all across the country for that matter. This year, Stock Non-Wing and A-Class have a good shot at clearing 400+ entries when sign-in is all said and done.

The “Stock” in this class is pretty simple, these are traditionally pulled right off 600cc motorcycles and plucked right into a micro sprint. Offering about 25 less horsepower, you’ll notice this group also has smaller 10 square foot wings. There are no cockpit adjustments of any sorts allowed.

RESTRICTED

The final kid class as a stepping stone before reaching Stock then Outlaw is this division intended for 8-16 years old. With 170 entries drawn in, the Restricted class also established a new division record for cars this week.

Essentially the same as A-Class, the only difference in Restricted simply comes down to the motor under the hood. You’ll take a stock 600cc power plant but similar to NASCAR, you’ll use a ¾ inch restrictor plate to tone the motor down for the kids. It’s a great entry level class for kids to understand the feel of the car and get to race competitively without the consequence of the power yet.

Like the Stock divisions, no cockpit adjustables are allowed and you’ll notice the smaller 10 square foot wings.

JR. SPRINT

The most obvious division to decipher at the Tulsa Shootout for a casual fan is the Jr. Sprints, intended for young kids 6-12 years old. The Jr. Sprint division has already eclipsed triple digits with 106 entries and a chance to set another new record this week.

As you’d expect, everything is smaller with a Jr. Sprint from the car itself, the motor, the wings, the tires, you name it. It’s simply about getting the kids behind the wheel and learning how to race with each other. And don’t underestimate these kids either, the Jr. Sprints have often delivered some of the most exciting races of the night; and they’re certainly bringing the best interviews each and every single year.
