REVISED 2018 SCHEDULED POSTED
We have posted a revised schedule for the rest of 2018 on the website. Be sure and take a look so you will be current on the race schedule.
We wanted to try a few different races to see what the response would be and we thank those that participated. We will now have three more special events,
"Queen of Midwest Drag Racers" ,
the "Hang 2 Wheelie Showdown"
and the "Halloween Bash for Cash".
Also. there are still four more points races left before our Champions are crowned and the classes are very tight, so anyone could make a big move toward the championship.
Thank you to all of our racers and fans for your continued support and we hope to see at the track.
