Rumble
Series Comes To Red Cedar Speedway
By Ed Reichert
Menomonie WI – The

the Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie on Thursday,
July 3 and Friday, July 4.
The Rumble Series
is in its first year of existence and is the highest

president of T’s Promotions from Aberdeen South
Dakota as well as being the current WISSOTA
Promoters Association president.
The Rumble at Red
Cedar will pay the Late Model winner a cool $5,000
with each starter of the feature race earning at
least $400. WISSOTA sanctioned Super Stocks, Midwest
Modifieds and Pure Stocks will also be racing during
the two night show.
So far this year
five Rumble Series races have been held in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Manitoba with
others scheduled in North Dakota and Montana before
the finale is held on August 8-9 in Rice Lake.
Winners so far include Jimmy Mars from Menomonie and
John Kaanta from Elk Mound as well as New Richmond’s
Pat Doar, Bonduel’s A.J. Diemel and Lance Matthees
of Winona Mn. The average car count for the races
run so far this year is around fourty with
competitors from the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin and two Canadian Provinces already
competing.
The format for the
weekend will see heat races and dashes for the Late
Models, Super Stocks and Midwest Modifieds on
Thursday plus a full program of Red Cedar Pure
Stocks. On Friday there will be last chance races in
all three WISSOTA classes plus the three big feature
events and another full show for the Pure Stocks.

twelve years old and under admitted absolutely free
with a paid adult.
The speedway is
going all out to make this a pleasurable weekend for

restroom facilities on the grounds. There will be a
DJ provided on Thursday night and the city of
Menomonie has a large celebration going on also on
July 4th with many activities in
