Rain Slows Racing Season in Marshalltown!

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia. (May 12, 2006) - Hours before week number six was to come to life, promoter Toby Kruse, had to make a needed decision he hated to make, to cancel the nights racing action. “It has been raining since 8:00 in the morning and at 2:00 in the afternoon, it was still slightly raining so rather than have our guys drive to get here then send them home, we decided to pull the pug, and I am really glad we did.” The reason Kruse was happy with his decision was that it still was raining at 6:00 and kept raining on into the evening. “We have drivers that are making trips from as far as Lake Mills, and Lake City to the northwest, Dexter and Perry from the Southwest, Marengo and Cedar Rapids to the east and Waterloo and Dunkerton to the northeast. I just didn’t want to mislead them in thinking that we were going to pull it off this week.”

The annual Cliff Chambers Memorial plus Scout Night has been moved until next Friday night. “Not only was I thinking of the drivers, but the fans need to know what we are doing in time to make different plans also, next week we will just pick up where we left off.”

Hot laps will begin starting at 6:45 and the first race of the evening will begin at 7:30. All Scouts young or old, big or small, boy or girl, will be admitted free into the grandstands if they are wearing a Scout uniform.
