American Outdoor Events will not be moving forward with plans for a national short course series in 2024. Originally announced in September, AOE had planned to host races at several notable tracks across the country. AOE also promised drivers a comprehensive television package and large payouts.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8147\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/MAO_Park-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" \/>\r\n\r\nAOE will instead shift its focus back to growing the Mid America Outdoor park in Jay, Oklahoma. A statement from Jason Robinett and his team read: \u201cThe original focus and purpose of AOE and Mid-America Outdoors was a family focused outdoors park that impacts the Northeast Oklahoma area. AOE will refocus their energy more closely to home and more in alignment with the original vision of the founders.\u201d\r\n\r\nAOE also owns the Ultra4 and Great American Shortcourse Regional Series. So far their 2024 schedules are intact as does the local MAO racing series.","excerpt":"<p>It was over before it even started.

Families building cars together, coming to the track, spending time outdoors, and drivers getting seat time to develop their skills are critical to the long-term fun and success of short course racing on all levels\u201d said Jason Robinett, Owner and CEO of American Outdoors Events. \u201cWe are proud to continue evolving our support in the growth of Sportsman classes nationally the same way we have been growing regionally with our MAO Racing and MidAmerica Outdoors series the last four years.\u201d\r\n\r\nPart of combining the regional series together will include standardizing a rule book. Each regional series will continue with their existing rulebooks for 2024. Regional racers will also join Pro racers in the new series for several events across the country in 2024 at venues such as Bark River, ERX and Crandon.","excerpt":"<p>Just days after announcing a new national short course series, American Outdoor Events laid out its plan to support the &hellip;<\/p>","date":"September 30, 2023 07:18","categories":[{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"},{"id":25047613,"title":"Short Course","slug":"shortcourse"}],"tags":[{"id":25049196,"title":"American Outdoor Events","slug":"american-outdoor-events"},{"id":25048088,"title":"gas","slug":"gas"},{"id":25048030,"title":"great american shortcourse","slug":"great-american-shortcourse"},{"id":25048816,"title":"mid america outdoors","slug":"mid-america-outdoors"},{"id":25049429,"title":"morr","slug":"morr"},{"id":25049430,"title":"regional series","slug":"regional-series"},{"id":25047630,"title":"short course","slug":"short-course"},{"id":25048179,"title":"short course off road racing","slug":"short-course-off-road-racing"}]},{"id":7840,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2023\/09\/26\/american-outdoor-events-announces-national-pro-off-road-series\/","title":"American Outdoor Events Announces National Pro Off-Road Series","content":"American Outdoors Events based in Oklahoma is announcing a new National Pro-Series.
