THE H.D.T. STORY:
The idea behind the Hawkeye Dirt Tour started innocently enough. A handful of the RaceRPM.com crew (primarially known for their web cats of the IMCA Super Nationals) wanted to put together a special event or two for the modified drivers and fans in Iowa.

Since the largest field of open wheels in Iowa is the IMCA sanctioned modified, the group called IMCA to see what needed to be done to make these couple of events take place under their umbrella. After a series of meetings with Brett Root (Vice President of Operations for IMCA), the group develped the idea of creating an Iowa-based modified tour.

In just a few short months, the Hawkeye Dirt Tour was born.

THE GOAL OF THE GROUP:
The group behind this project realizes that not every race team or race fan will be attracted to these events. This tour is designed for the weekly racing world. From the raceday purse structure to how the event schedule is layed out, weekly racing was always kept in mind.

The goal is to develop a summer-long party each year that everyone will want to be associated with. The group wants the drivers, track promotes, and the fans to drive away from each event dreaming of the next event.

There are still areas of the state (Iowa) that the group would like to have an event at. The plan does call for an expansion to the western portion of the state. It was decided that it was in the groups best interest of this tour to develop slowly, and a plan has been developed to expand over a period of time.

SUPPORT CLASSES AT EACH HDT EVENT:
In 2010, each host track will select which support classes will be run during each HDT event. During the creation of the the tour, the idea of a support class also under the HDT banner was discussed. Again it was decided that it was in the groups best interest to develop slowly. At this time, the idea of support classes has been tabled, but will be revisited at the end of each season.
