Looking down the back chute to the tri- oval, 200 loads of clay have added a couple feet of new clay to the entire track. Looking into turn 2 from the back chute. Crews are waiting for the weather to co-operate to finish grooming the track.

Over the winter, 200 loads of clay was added to the track. The stone free clay was spread and packed at that time, but is waiting for track crews to attack to put the track in shape.

A new concession area in the pit area is also being installed to complete the other improvements being done for this season.

A work day is scheduled for this Saturday morning at 9 AM to clean and get the track ready.

The club has also scheduled an open practice, set for Sunday April 29th. The pits will open at 11 am with the track open for practice at 12 noon. Track will remain open until approx. 4 pm which will be plenty of time to shake down cars to get ready for the opener. There will be a $10. per person charge for the pit area. The grandstand will be open free of charge for those wishing to get a sneak peak at the cars.

The weekly programs will feature the IMCA Modifieds, WISSOTA Late Models, Street Stocks and IMCA Stock Cars on the unique 1/3 mile tri oval. Racing begins at 6:30 every Sunday night.
