The big change!  No longer does the Tri-Oval exist.  The new semi-banked turns 3 and 4 will greet fans on opening day.

There were several dozen cars already on hand along with several groups of fans gathering in the grandstand to get a first look at the new 1/3mile clay oval.

All comments about the re-figured track were positive from both sides of the fence and all wished there could have been some laps turned prior to the season opener, scheduled for this Sunday, June 5th.

The weekly programs will feature five divisions. The WISSOTA Late Models, IMCA Modifieds and Stock Cars, Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders will all return this season.

The pit gates will open at 2 PM this week. Draw Cut off is 4 PM with the first race at 5 PM.

The grandstand will open at 3 PM.
