Red Cedar Speedway Postpones
Opener
By Ed Reichert
Menomonie WI – Randy Buss, the
President of the Red Cedar Racing Association, has announced
that the 2008 season opener at the Red Cedar Speedway, scheduled
for April 11th, has been postponed.
While not totally unexpected,
there was the slimmest of hopes that the weather would warm up
and the racing surface dry out sufficiently that the opener
could take place. That was until Monday’s snowstorm put the
final nail in the coffin.
“You can’t even see the race
track right now, much less race on it”, stated Buss on Monday
night.” We’re going to need some warm weather to help dry out
the track and the scheduled opener is less than two weeks away.
It just isn’t going to happen.”
So, with everything moved back
one week, hopefully the 2008 dirt track season at the Dunn Co.
Rec Park will commence on Friday night, April 18th .
Four classes of cars, all racing
under the WISSOTA sanctioning banner will compete on opening
night including the powerful late models, open wheel modifieds
and Midwest modifieds, super stocks in addition to the Red Cedar
pure stocks.
The first race is scheduled to
take the green flag at 7 p.m. for the thirty fifth straight year
of racing at the Dunn Co. oval.
The Red Cedar Speedway is located
on Menomonie’s east side on Highway 12 at the Rec Park.
