Osky's Halloween Show Postponed To November 8th

This has to be the worst month of October ever when it comes to dirt track racing here in Iowa and it is only fitting that the final event of the month, which was actually originally scheduled for earlier in the month, has been postponed once again. This Saturday's Fall Challenge race at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa will now be run on Sunday November 8th as the facility received just too much rain over the past twenty-four hours to be able to run this Saturday. The rescheduling will make for a busy weekend for promoters Todd & Janet Staley and crew as they will run a practice night at the Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Missouri, on Thursday night November 5th, before two nights of racing with the Pepsi Memphis Nationals. Then on Sunday they will make the nearly two hour trip north to Oskaloosa to round out the weekend. Let's hope that the first weekend in November finally yields some nice racing weather! Look for Zack VanderBeek to be a top contender at both Memphis and Oskaloosa the first weekend in November - Scott Tjabring, Action Track Photography photo

It's official, the Show Me 100 will now be run at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, on Memorial Day weekend and will be part of the Lucas Oil Late Model Series. How much "value" did the Gibson's put on this event? After they worked out an agreement to "sell" the Show Me to Lucas, the asking price for the West Plains Speedway reportedly dropped from two million dollars to $750,000.

Have a great weekend and let's go Hawkeyes, Golden Hurricane and Washington State!
