Update from promoter Jon McCorkell
We will unload all enclosed trailers for 2008.  Same exact thing as last season.  I still do think that it would be better to have a pit area off of turn one, but at this time there is not enough money in the budget to build an adequate pit area.

We have added a Sportsmen Division and we will adopt Worthington and Slayton’s rules and call this division the Sportsmen Division.  This is a very entry level class and it is hoped to get a lot of local participation, as these cars should be very affordable. Sportsmen rules are posted in the rules section. 

The Hobby Stock Class will not be sanctioned with IMCA in 2008. We are going to follow Fairmont, MN basic rule package.  This will hopefully get us some more cars from other tracks to come and join us.  Hobby Stock rules for 2008 are also posted. 

IMCA Stock cars no changes, as we will remain sanctioned for 2008 with IMCA. No significant changes for either Sprint Car Division for 2008.
