off with the final weekly family fun night program on Friday night September 3rd. The
season went fast, with the highest car count for the third season with this show.
This night the millennium late models, mini modifieds, bandolero cars, legends, sport
trucks, Basic International cars and the open wheel Rascal outlaws will be here.

July 3rd.they will race only on Friday. The championships will not be determined on that
night. The millennium will have their championship on September 25th. All the small cars
will be on October 1st. as Bilderback used auto parts of South Beloit, Illinois presents
