In order to help boost the car count for their next iRacing Winged 410 Sprint Car Series coming up in a few weeks, the venerable Dirty Old Bastards Racing League will be holding a four week qualifier series. This will be open to all drivers who would like a shot at by-passing the ladder system at DOB. Eligible drivers can try to earn their way right into the DOB 410 Series.
The series will run on Monday nights at 9:oo pm eastern time. The series will run, for the most part, just like the current World of Outlaws Wicked Energy Gum 410 Sprint Series runs with a couple of changes to the formats. The drivers that are currently in the DOB 410 series will be ineligible for this mini series.
Logitech G923 Racing Wheel & Pedals
One of the most popular entry-to-mid level sim racing wheels available today. The G923 delivers strong TRUEFORCE feedback up to 1000 Hz that lets you feel the road with refreshing clarity, a responsive brake pedal with progressive spring, and a solid set of pedals built for consistent control. It includes a programmable dual-clutch launch system for cleaner starts, a genuine leather-wrapped wheel, and straightforward compatibility with PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Drivers will have to meet three requirements to be eligible for this series. They will have to be 18+ (or have prior DOB experience if under 18 ) with a B class 3.0+ license and 2500+ iRating to be eligible for the series. In order for you to be eligible for a league invitation at the end of the four weeks you will have had to run in at least three of the four races and have a maximum average incident limit of eight. Incident points are counted through the heats and all mains.
Points will be on the line and just because you finish well in points or just because you meet the requirements to be eligible, does not mean that you will be guaranteed a an invitation to the DOB 410 Sprint Series. The league will be looking to take a minimum of five drivers from this series and invite them into their Thursday Night 410 Sprint Car Series.
Thrustmaster T300RS GT Steering Wheel and Pedal Set
A proven mid-range choice that refuses to cut corners. The T300 delivers smooth, powerful belt-driven force feedback through a responsive brushless motor, letting you feel the track with satisfying detail instead of vague suggestions. Paired with a solid three-pedal GT set, an 11-inch leather-wrapped wheel, and full compatibility for PS5, PS4, and PC, it gives sim racers the precision needed to brake later, hold lines tighter, and actually improve lap after lap. No gimmicks—just consistent performance that earns its keep over long sessions.

The racing has been fantastic since the DOB League rebooted following a restructuring during the middle of 2019 Season Four. It’s nice to see 60 car servers get maxed out in less than two minutes sometimes, but the quality of racing kept falling off each season until it truly became no fun to run the shows anymore. The racing is now enjoyable again and the racing action is the best it’s been in Dirty Old Bastards League history.
The Dirty Old Bastards are looking for drivers who want to show up and take part in some fun and respectable racing. If that is the kind of racing you are looking for then DOB is the place for you. Each of the DOB Series will have a cap of 60-70 drivers as their goal is to focus on the quality of the drivers and racing instead of the quantity of drivers.
This mini qualifying series will be hosted from the DOB Special Events League. If you meet the requirements, you may go here to sign up for the series. This series will start Monday night, February 17. More info on the format and schedule is below.
