Overbrook will be having a fall hobo derby at the Overbrook Osage county fair grounds. This will be a hobo show only. Depending on the amount of cars that show up we may be running heats. No more than two heats. I will be guaranteeing 1000 + 100% of entry money for pay out. The drivers will decide how the money will be split up the day of the event. Entry fee will be 40 per car and pit pass will be 15. If you have any questions please call Luke @ 785-393-1762
