Track Conditions: Are great. We have rent to race groups morning through night, but have a Noon to 3 PM practice and 1/2 hour rental slot in the schedule. Take advantage, as this is the last Saturday practice of the season, and also the last chance to rent 1/2 hour Hot Lap sessions. The kart shop will be open Noon to 5 PM for your parts and service needs. Oh, and Super Stock racers remember you have a make up race this Sunday. See you all at the track.

Track Conditions: Go kart friendly weather is ours again today. Noon to 5 PM will find us at the track ready to host some practice laps or 1/2 hour rentals for you. We can also accept small walk in rent to race groups during this time. We have a group in tonight at 5:30 for a rent to race event. We could accommodate another group at the same time if you can do your planning spur of the moment. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: The weather is delightful which makes go karting the perfect choice for today. Noon to 7 PM for practice and 1/2 hour rentals and then our weekly rent to race night 'Turn Key Thursday' kicks off at 7 PM. What did that old drag race radio announcer say? "Be There" We'll see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Today's racing has been called off. Thank you to everyone who drove out to the track to wait out the weather. We will see you all again next week and for our Sunday the 18th race, which will be a make up date for the Super Stocks. Happy Mother's Day!

Track Conditions: Good Moring Racers. It is 7:08 as I type. We have a slow moving, spinning system overhead that the weather model shows moving out by 9-10 AM. So we will slow our schedule for today down by one hour. Registration at 10 AM, practice at 11 AM and race start time of 1 PM will be our schedule for today. For those of you that check in here, do us a favor; call your friends to make sure they know the same news. Thanks. We will see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Happy Saturday All. We have a busy rent to race schedule today, but also have a Noon to 3 PM session for open practice and 1/2 hour rentals. The kart shop will be open between Noon and 5 PM. Don't forget our make up race tomorrow on Mother's Day. Box Stock, Kid Kart, Masters and WKA classes are on for tomorrow. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Track Condtions are very good. We will be on site to host practice and half hour rentals between Noon and 5 PM. We do have a small group of rent to racers coming it at 2 PM that we will be sharing the track with. We hope you can sneak out of work for some laps this afternoon. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Are the best of the season! Today you can practice your kart or rent one of ours between the hours of Noon and 7 PM. At & PM sharp we will begin our Turn Key Thursday rent to race night. Perfect gokart weather is forecast so grab a buddy and come on down. We will see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Good morning all. Hey, it looks like a great day for practice and rentals. The rain has past and it didn't do much more than sprinkle here. So the track will be good to go at Noon, and unless something new brews up on the radar we could be good until our 8 PM closing hour. We ran rent to race last night on the first truly dry track of the whole year! So practice tonight should produce some good test results. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Finally, a nice day! This looks like a carbon copy day to our opener on April 20th, and track conditions will be similar with a little bit of ground water seeping through cracks in the track. Yes we wish Mother Nature would behave differently also. Well, let's take advantage of this great weather day and put in our second race of the year. Register at 9, practice at 10, and race at Noon. See you there.

Track Conditions: Update to the prior post; we just got hit with a rain shower (11:21 AM) and the track is very wet. It will dry, but when is a good question. We will be at the track until 5 PM and will run practice until then, as there are no more rent to race events scheduled, so we might find some dry spots by then to practice in.

Track Conditions: Good Morning All. We are at the track watching two bachelor parties slide around on a wet track. But boy, are they having fun! With the look of the radar and the laps we have to run we'll likely have a dry track by the time the Noon to 3 PM practice comes up. We will still have a bit of gound water seeping up kind of like our first race weekend conditions. The kart shop will be open between Noon and 5 PM also. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Are okay, but we have a day of rent to race groups scheduled, so there won't be any practice or 1/2 rentals today. The kart shop will be open for any parts or service needs between Noon and 5 PM. Thanks for checking in.

Track Conditions: Are better than yesterday. We moved that latest flood waters off of the track yesterday and did get some practice in. Today we will practice and have half hour rentals Noon through 7 PM. At 7 PM we will kick off the first Turn Key Thursday of the year! We will see you at the track.

Posted by: Marshall Fairman
Last Updated: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:47 PM
Track Conditions: The flood waters are gone and the track is open for practice or rentals. There won't be any track records set, as there is moisture seeping up through spots on the straight-a-way and the corner we call Valley Turn. We will be here until 8 PM. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Hey everyone, This post is to notify all that we have called tomorrow's 4-27-08 race off. The flood waters look like they are rising and that they will over take the track sometime this afternoon. Even if we don't go under water we have ground water problems that are so bad the the track would not be race worthy. Stay tuned, we'll let you know when we are going again.

Track Conditions: Well we seem to still be in the wash cycle. We'll get the track useable for our Noon to 3 PM practice session. We will host both motorcycles and go karts today during this session. We will also be living with spots on the straight that are seeping water, so perfect track conditions they will not be. You can catch us at the track between 9 AM and 6 PM today if you need parts, as we'll be doing rent to race groups on each side of the Noon practice. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Happy Friday all. Well even after our morning thunderstorm we have a track that is useable. So we can practice and rent karts today, or hang out in the kart shop and kick tires. We were to have a rent to race group at 2:30, but they are talking about a reschedule. If the 2:30 and after time suits your schedule call the track to make sure we don't have a reserved track. Practice tomorrow, Saturday Noon to 3 PM. Rent to race at other times. See you soon.

Track Conditions: At this time the track is in good practice or rental condition. The radar would suggest we will get wet sometime this afternoon. Based on that we'd suggest you call before you leave to get an up to the minute update on track conditions. Regardless of weather we will be at the track today from Noon to 8 PM. We will see you there.

Track Conditions: Hi All. There haven't been an Wednesday's yet this year that have had a combination of weather and track condtions this good. We will open at Noon and run both practice and rentals until 8 PM tonight. The kart shop will also be open for parts, karts, or service help. We will see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Good morning. Well the 2008 season has finally arrived! Be it a week late and no practice included. The track should be in very raceable condition considering a week ago the start finish line was under water. Here is the schedule for today; 9 AM to register, 10 AM for practice, and Noon for racing. One issue we will have today is parking, as the grounds are still wet or soggy in some areas. This may require parking close together, and/or even using the parking lot on the south side of the building. But, we have a great weather day for our first race, so come on out for what always turns out to be great fun. We'll see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Happy Saturday Morning All. We will work this morning preparing the track for our scheduled Noon to 3 PM practice time. It won't be track record material, but it should be useable. The track was pretty good yesterday before our bit of rain and then mist that went on for quite a while. So we'll have to see where the ground water is today. That will determine what kind of track we get for practice today. Sorry for less than perfect conditions, but at least we can ride! See you at the track.

Last Updated: Thursday, April 17, 2008 11:13 AM
Track Conditions: Good Morning. We did host practice yesterday, but track conditions were quite challenging. The ground water is our enemy right now as it is seeping out and making puddles on the track. We will be able to practice today with similar track conditions. The weather radar shows a system over Iowa as this is typed. It is tracking north northeast with a chance of missing our local. So if you can make it out you'll find us at the track between Noon and 8 PM today. See you soon.

Track Conditions: Well a little time and a little wind make a big difference. The track staff tells me my Wednesday prediction posted earlier is all wet. We could get on the track as early as 3 PM today but by 5 PM for sure. Practice is on! Tell everyone you know!

Last Updated: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 11:44 AM
Track Conditions: The water update: Count today as a practice washout. We will get the rest of the water off of the track by some time later today, but will not get to a point we can practice. And then comes the forecast for Thursday and Friday which has rain for both days. Stay tuned here and we'll let you know when we can get you on the track. We are hopeful we can make this Sunday our opening day, but with the watershed this full even small amounts of rain will be devastating. See you soon.

Track Conditions: Track Conditions don't get much worse. The Sugar River took the property over today. No racing, practice or rentals for the next while. The kart shop will be open tomorrow, Saturday, from Noon to 5 PM. We will post here if the water gets so deep that you can't drive into the parking lot. Watch this page for updates on when we are back in action.

Track Conditions: It's Wednesday and that means a new week at the track. We do have a water issue to start the day though. We have water on the track that will take 2-3 hours to move. It is 1:30 PM as I type. So, if you're in need of track time check in on this page or call the track to see if our estimate was a good one. This all means we should get some track time later today and into the evening. We will run until 8 PM tonight. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: For those of you looking in here this morning, we had a good track day yesterday. We still have to pump to keep the ground water from seeping up through the track. We certainly will get some good track time today. We have a 9AM to 1 PM schedule for today. Be advised that we will likely have to move water off of the straight-a-way when we get there this morning, as the pumps will have run out of gas overnight. So you might want to make your arrival more like 10 AM unless you don't mind waiting for us to get the track in running condition. We will see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Happy Friday all. Well we are still battling our very high ground water issue, but are able to get the water pumped off the track each day. The issue is that is seeps back up through the track in spots on the straight and in Valley Turn. We will attempt to run practice on Saturday and Sunday this weekend as scheduled. Saturday is Noon to 5 PM and Sunday is 9 AM to 1 PM. But, due to what will be lousy track conditions we will cancel the Rent to Race Endurance event scheduled for Sunday at 1 PM. We will also be on hand today Noon to 5 PM to help you with parts or service. See you at the track.

Track Conditions: Not yet. Monday's rain has us a bit underwater again. Pumps are running and we are hopeful that we might be able to get some practice in on Saturday and Sunday. Track conditions won't be worth a lick, but it will be time to shake down your rig and get some seat time. We will let you know as the week progresses about when. Kart shop hours as usual Wed. through Sat. so check out the listing of hours on the home page if you've forgotten them. See you soon!

Track Conditions: Are not optimum! Mother Nature is certainly taking the slow route to spring. But I guess that is helping to attenuate what could be a pretty rip roaring flood. Okay, weather reporting aside we need to let you know that we will be at the track ready to help you prep for the fast approaching racing season. The hours are listed on the Home page. Looking forward to your next visit.

How about you? Have you got everything done? We are at the track today through Saturday to help. Check out the hours on the Home page and pay us a visit. Oh yeah, you have through Saturday to take advantage of discounted entry fee and practice passes. Don't miss that! We'll see you at the track.

Track Conditions: Hey everybody. We are ready for another week of 'winter hours' at the track. We certainly wish Mother Nature would move this snow melt/bring spring thing on a bit faster. But we will be patient and do our duty of helping everyone get ready for the upcoming season. You can catch our hours on the home page. Come on out and pay us a visit.
