Raceway.  We couldn't have had as successful of a season as we did without each and everyone of you.  We will update the banquet on Facebook once we get Mike Sheidy's vote.  We will confirm the venue and then get started on a date right after that.  As for now enjoy your offseason, hope to see some of you at outside races as they get going around here to support some of our racers, such as Dakota Barlet, Scottie Heilman, and Louden Reimert, and hope to see yo back at Hiester's H.O. Raceway in October for the 2024-2025 season.
