Local race tracks


Recommended Posts

Kinross is the local track to me. I will go check out some events once the weather gets warm. I also watch a lot of Garett Mitchel’s pay per view races. He brought that old dosoto speedway out of the bushes, revived it and has people out there racing.

I looked them up on MyRacePass. 

Their website has 2024 rules and 7 races. 

Be interesting to know how many cars they get in each class. 

They have to be the only pavement track for many miles around.

It’s pretty much the only track. I have friends that race in it and it is more than you would think. It’s kinda like Mira for snowmobiles. They also are talking about making the soo I500 track a dirt track in the summer

A quick search between the UP, the upper lower, and the Beaver side, there are like 6 pavement tracks within probably a 3 or less hour drive of da Soo.

I would think making the I-500 track a dirt track in the summer wouldn't draw a big car count.  Straights that long are hard on motors and I can only imagine how rough it would get thru the corners, plus the locals probably wouldn't have any of it.

In the 70's central Wisconsin had 4 half mile dirt tracks.  That is down to 1 now in Shawno Wis. which has long straights and tight corners.  The late model portion of the show use to have 3-4 heats and around 30 cars.  Now they only draw 9 to 12 late models total with one heat race and feature.  

Even guys local to Shawno in late models and other classes are choosing to run other shorter tracks in the area.
