They still race 1/4. I believe they had to update some guardrails on the top end this spring. They had a big payout meet a couple weekends ago. (no spectators because of Covid) but the payout was thousands $$$.
We need more. This year will help. Last year we had 30-40 cars. This event has been going for may years but has never grew. We have new members in the club that have taken charge and are getting things done. We have a good time slot. Much better than mid to late October like in the past. We have a fundraising committee, that even with Covid, will have enough money to provide a nice purse for the racers which should attract more participants. If you compare us with Mopars in the Park in Minnesota, They started out in the parking lot of the Dodge dealer and grew from there. If we can stay at the drag strip. We won't outgrow that place for a decade if the show/race keeps getting bigger. This is our year to shine with so may events cancelled. A bunch of FABO guys would like to come down. Some have hotel reservations so far. Come on over and check it out. We would love to have you.
The more the merrier.
Because our event is at CFMP we have a tough time fitting our event into the local track schedule and the regional schedules. It seems there are many big drag racing events around the midwest on almost every summer weekend. Quite a few people are coming down to our event on Friday and camping at the strip or a motel, enjoying our show on Saturday and traveling to Dubuque for their show on Sunday. We have "Mopar Against the World" racing on Sunday as well as a Neita Raceway Reunion. (Neita is the original name of the track) Most of the racers will stay for Sunday. We are hopeful to have enough money and entry fees for a $2000 or $3000 payout.
Saturday and Sunday
