Thanks for bringing this up Topwing, that race is coming up pretty quick, 3,000 to win and 300 to start is a great purse. Also, cars pre entered by June 19th pay no entry fee. The entry form is now available on the Badger site, www.bmara.com. There’s also a form for anyone wishing to sponsor lap money for the event. Hope to see you all there; the racing is always exciting at the Dodge County Fair grounds. I had the opportunity to get out of the pits and watch the races from the stands last year, very good edge of the seat action.
