Outlaws to Invade
LGR!
By Mike Babicz |
(Lake Geneva, Wis., Saturday, July 1,
2006)-“The asphalt
outlaws are coming” is the cry heard following the official
announcement of a monumental event coming to Lake Geneva Raceway.
Promoter Kevin
Dawson announced at the Friday, June 30 show that a first time ever
event will be held on Thursday, August 3 with the Ultimate Racing
Spectacular featuring the HOSS asphalt outlaw sprint car winged
warriors, the stars and cars of the Midwestern traveling Big 8 Late
Model Stock Car Series and the LGR weapons division stock cars.
“This show will
feature the best of both worlds when it comes to asphalt racing,”
Dawson said. “The lightening fast winged outlaw sprint cars and
their exciting side by side open wheel action along with the up and
coming stars of late model racing, both on the same card.”
“We’re excited to
be able to bring this unique, first time combination, to our fans
during our Checkered Flag Season,” Dawson said. “This will be a
first, last and only time the asphalt sprint cars will appear at our
facility as we prepare to bring it to a close following 44 years of
continuous operation.”
“We had Tim Cox of Park City
come out and take the Ultimate Lap Challenge a few weeks ago, and
the fan response was overwhelming. They wanted to see Tim come back
with a full field of his racing friends,” Dawson said. “The people
have spoken, so the asphalt outlaw sprint car warriors will come to
Lake Geneva Raceway.”
The one-third mile semi-banked
asphalt oval is part of an overall facility that includes a off road
course, competitive go kart track, public go kart track, stadium
motocross course and a restaurant/bar. The entire complex has been
sold to a developer and will become a housing development after the
season ends in the fall.
Reduced price advance tickets
will be available at the Raceway on race nights only beginning
Friday and Saturday, July 14 and 15. For the latest updated
