Fast cars and free entertainment on a Saturday night in Minnesota — you
can't beat that.
At Elko Speedway on June 7th, the
Minnesota Corn Growers Association is sponsoring a free night of racing for all spectators in attendance. The event has been (cleverly) dubbed Tasseldega Nights and should be a fun and memorable evening for the whole family to enjoy.
Never been to the races in Elko? Wondering what it's like?
According to their website:
The track is treacherous:
"It's a high-banked 3/8 mile paved oval allowing for 2 and sometimes 3 wide racing. Both outside and inside track lights allow for fantastic fan viewing during night events."
And there are a variety of vehicles racing...
? The Super Late Models are highly modified with fabricated frames and fiberglass or aluminum bodies with specialized power plants.
? The Big 8 are mid-sized sedans with stock sheet metal and major engine and suspension modifications.
? Thunder Cars are stock cars with minor engine and suspension modifications allowed.
? Power Stocks are a low-cost entry level division that are nearly straight from the factory. They must have stock engines, transmissions, rear ends and components.
? Other common divisions that also compete at Elko Speedway include the Legends, Mini-Stocks, Bandoleros and Figure 8 cars.
It will be loud, exciting and
free for everyone from ages zero and up.
The gates open at 5 pm and races begin at 7 pm. Check out the Elko Speedway
website for details and tickets.
