Greg Harder, The Leader-PostPublished: Saturday, May 03, 2008Estevan Motor Speedway is on the right track.
"We've been around since 2000 and we've basically run a full program right from the very first season," offered David Mack, president of the Estevan Auto Racing Association.
"We get a lot of visitors from out of town. There are a lot of dirt track fans from the Regina area and points north and east and west of us. The track is a 3/8-mile dirt oval and high bank, which means it's a very fast race track. The guys don't let off the gas very much. Sometimes with the bigger class of cars such as the modified late model sprint cars, they can just about go flat out all along this track."
The 12-event race season begins tonight at 7 p.m. and concludes Sept. 21 with a closing Enduro. The regular race days feature four classes: Pure stock, mini sprint, street stock and modified.
The schedule also includes four special events beginning July 7 with a stop on the International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) Dakota Classic Modified Tour. It features racers from all over North America.
On July 12, the World of Outlaws late model series Wild West Tour is slated to make its first-ever stop in Western Canada.
"These guys are full-time professional racers," said Mack. "They are coming to challenge the late model drivers in our area. And by our area I mean about a six to 10 hour radius of Estevan, primarily going into the U.S."
