(1/6/08)
As our ninth season begins, we remain dedicated to supplying fans with the best information possible on dirt track racing in the Midwest. There are  14 cars (steering wheels) on our starting grid to allow you the opportunity to take a ride around our track.  The steering wheels are exclusive to this site. The steering wheels should turn a bit when your run your cursor over them, well, now since I changed things up a bit, they seem to turn all the time.  Grab a wheel and take a ride. If you don't find racing news here, you may not find it at all. Or just buckle up and cruise some of the Links pages. Vote on-line for your favorite driver and check Jack's Facts for some fun stuff and some old pictures. Your laps will register on the lap counter. Remember, caution laps do not register on dirt. You will not be subjected to any non-racing related advertisement. Please DO check out and support our sponsors, they are the ones who make this site possible. NO POP-UP ADS ON THIS SITE! Updating is done as time permits.
Thank you.  Go for it!!!!!
