NEW ELECTRONIC NEWSLETER STARTS

 

SIGN UP NOW FOR E-MAIL NEWS RELEASES.

This will be our last printed newsletter, the production costs of printing and the inconvenience of mailing have convinced us to join the 21st century. Hard to believe I know.

Starting within the next week there will be a permanent location at our website

(www.lakegenevaraceway.com) where you can sign up for our electronic newsletter.

 

The new newsletter will allow us to get updates to fans and drivers quicker and with more reliability than the postal service. We will ask you to tell us if you are a fan, driver, or sponsor and only the required amount of information needed to forward you the newsletter via the internet will be asked for.

 

For drivers we, of course will be asking for regular mailing addresses and phone numbers. We ask that you fill out all the required fields.  We will not be asking for social security numbers on the web site.

 

You can sign up directly at http://racing.genevaonline.com or you can access this page through our web site.

Luisa’s pizza has announced that they are sponsoring the Friday night Mini Mod class.

 

Luisa’s is located on Hwy 50 and 317th Ave. in Salem, Wisconsin with a second location in Delavan on Hwy 50.

 

Speaking from personal experience this is the best pizza and Italian food in the area. They also have carryout and delivery available. The casual atmosphere in the restaurant and bar, yes they have a bar also, is very comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient. However, if you get brave and order the stuffed pizza allow for extra time because this baby takes a long time to cook and you will be in awe as to the size when it arrives at your table.

 

Luisa’s phone number is 262-537-4795 in Salem and 262-740-1610 in Delavan.
