Per the American Royal twitter account, the 2024 Royal will be October 30 through November 3 at Kansas Speedway.
This seemed to be later (much later) than normal, so I went back and looked at the dates the Open Contest has occurred in the past:
2023: 10/1/2023
2022: 10/2/2022
2021: 9/18/2021
2019: 9/15/2019
2018: 9/16/2018
2017: 9/3/2017
2016: 10/30/2016
2015: 10/4/2015
2014: 10/5/2014
2013: 10/6/2013
2012: 10/7/2012
2011: 10/2/2011
2010: 10/3/2010
2009: 10/4/2009
2008: 10/5/2008
So it has happened on the same weekend in the past (in 2016), but only once. Hopefully everyone stocks up on their cold weather gear - it can be cold as hell on Halloween in KC!
