Just a little over a week to go until Jamboree practice night!!! Hansen Tire in Minnesota has already added $1000 to win to Thursday's feature making that one $3000 to win and the whole 3 days at the Jamboree is now a combined minimum of $13,000 to win!!!

Even though Wednesday night's practice has a bad forecast, they WILL get this show in - especially the finale! They will use Sunday if they have to but they most likely put the $3000 or $5000 to win then and still run the $7000 to win on Saturday night as scheduled. Maybe they'll even run an afternoon race followed by an evening race on the same day if they have to. Whatever it takes!

USMTS promoter Todd Staley says "Don't let the forecast scare you. We're getting these races in!" In the past, they have had as much as 3 inches of rain in the morning and raced that night! I got to see the track for the first time today. No wonder it's so racy. That track has the widest turns of any 3/8 mile that I've seen. And they have all the equipment they can use to get the track in shape and more so...

Head north folks, head north!!!
