We suppose to have Johnny Ray's Sports Bar Night plus Vintage Cars but mother nature won for only the 4th time this year, making the only month this year to not have a rain out is the month of May. The first rain out in the month of August since August 24th, 2007. The first rain out on the third friday of august since August 19th, 2005.
So with Friday being rained out we have only 2 track point nights left, next friday night August 27th with Custom Concrete Night at the Races plus the Caruth Construction Modified Gambler and also the Micro Mini Sprints joining the IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and Mod Lites for racing action on the high banked quarter mile ovall. Then its the North 3rd Ave Dairy Queen Larry Wollam Season Championship Night on September 3rd.
In Between those races we have the USMTS coming back to Marshalltown for a race in their hunt of the championship on Tuesday Night August 31st with the Dart Iron Man Challenge for USRA Stock Cars also racing as will IMCA Sport Mods and the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks. Then after season championship night the track will sit idle for a week as it perpares for the 4th Annual Havoc on The High Banks on Friday and Saturday September 17th and 18th.
