Race season is fast approaching and this year Red River Co-op Speedway has got an early jump on releasing their rule packages for the upcoming year. The rules for each class along with the general rules and track rules can be found on their website at http://www.victorylane.mb.ca/drivers.htm and available for download in PDF format.
Expect ALH Motor Speedway in Morden to keep their rules similar to the RRCS sets as they look to share the same race teams on a weekly basis.
The RRCS Pure Stock schedule has also been released and can be found on the Schedules page of this website. Race season starts in only a couple months so go get that car ready!

Local Stock Car Driver a Big Hit
So, are race car drivers funny? Typically anyone I have interviewed in the pits after a night of racing are pretty low-key, down to earth people. But, I haven't got a chance to interview local stock car driver Garry Roy yet.
Garry is a well known face in the RRCS community, but he has raised his level of personal exposure this week by appearing on Canadian hit TV show Canada's Got Talent. Playing the role of the Canadian Hillbilly, Garry does a great job entertaining the crowd and making it through to the next level in Toronto. I wish Garry luck on his comedy tour. Here's the video...

Season Starts in Under 3 Months
Good afternoon Pure Stock fans! It looks like the start of the 2012 race season is less than 3 months away.
Reports out of Morden have ALH Motor Speedway opening the facility near the end of May. Water or flooding doesn't seem to be an issue there, combined with a low amount of snow over the last few months - they will probably get the season off to an early start.
The Red River Co-op Speedway schedule has been released and the first Monday Night Racing program is scheduled to start on June 4th. The length of the Pure Stock season will once again span over 12 races and cap the year off with the 2nd Annual Prairie Classic race.
I expect the RRCS season so to start on time this year unless we get a real huge dump of snow. You never know, they might even get some practice dates in before the official start of the season.
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available!

Nick Audette Championship Interview
Hello Pure Stock fans! Our first championship interview has been completed and is now ready for you to watch. We sit down with the 2011 RRCS V8 Pure Stock Champion Nick Audette and talk about his great season. Nick's season included his first ever V8 Pure Stock win on route to capturing his first ever championship.
A special thanks to Nick for taking the time for an interview as well as being a great sport always inviting us into his pit - regardless of what kind of a night he had racing. We wish him the best of luck in 2012 as he defends his championship title.

Another Uncertain Season for Greenbush
Greenbush Race Park in Minnesota, USA has had its share of uncertainty in the last 3 years and it looks like that trend will continue going into the 2012 season. The facility issued a statement on their Facebook page looking for a facility operator;
"The Greenbush Race Park is seeking an individual or group interested in operating the race park for the 2012 season as the Wahl family will not be running the track this season."
Greenbush is one of the favorite stops in the local circuit and would no doubt be missed. 3 promoters in the last 3 years and an uncertain 2012 does not give the facility the positive outlook they have been seeking.
I wish them luck in finding that magic person who can turn their fate around. Stay tuned for more updates as information becomes available.
