Two More Nights Left At LGR
TRAILER RACES ADDED TO FINAL RACE NIGHT
Lake Geneva, WI. (spl) With all the Wisconsin and Illinois oval tracks closed
for the season. Lake Geneva Raceway in it’s last days of existence isn’t
going out with a fight. Originally the 14th. of October was the final night.
Then the next day stadium dirt course was the final moto cross event. But then
it was announced that there would be one last Saturday night show. The best
thing that could top off a great last season. How about a “run what ya brung”
race show. Wow! But then the phone rang at the raceway office and Dale
Erdmann’s home. Everyone wanted one last trailer race. ”The phone rang off
the hook”, said Erdmann. The answering machine was full everyday, both at
the track and at Erdmann’s home. These calls were from both our regulars,
along with Jefferson Speedway and Rockford Speedway fans and competitors. Many
said this would their only opportunity to witness what has been the best
Trailer races. Thanks. But we stole the idea from Jody Deery. They will be
able to Run with it a lot more years.
So what could Promoter Kevin Dawson do? What else? Yes, we will have our last
trailer race in October. Remember I said, October. This does not rule out
something for maybe, New Years eve. Wouldn’t that be great? For now, the
21st. of October could be the biggest show of the final season. Fans should
get here early. Trailer race competitors should call the raceway to register.
There will be no limit for the number of races. The raceway office is
262-248-8566.
The run what ya brung show has gotten a lot of interest from the region.
Everyone would love to break the records. The 4 cylinder will run together.
The 8 cylinders will run together. Just like bracket racing, but no vacations.
It will be a fun night and awards will go for the most wildest vehicle. No
rules, except safety.
For more information please call the raceway. Or visit our website for
updates. This show was not scheduled when the 2006 list came out. It just came
about last Thursday during the final Fall classic. We are still looking for a
sponsor for what may be the biggest show of the season. Call Dale Erdmann at
262-878-3940 for details.
The raceway program book is finally out. There will be additional pages for
the fall classic. Fans who have already purchased books, should send a large
self addressed stamped 8 x 11 envelope to the raceway to receive those final
pages. The run what ya brung will be included in those pages. If you would
like to place an ad in the book call Erdmann. If you would like to purchase a
book, send $7.00 to help with the Postage and that large self addressed
