Track Reporter

Bikes, bikes and more bikes were at the race track tonight as the annual kids bicycle races were held at intermission.

This was a night for season first time winners with new winners in the Late Model, Street Stock and Mini-Stock divisions.

Roll over trophies were presented to Robert Somers, Jr the mini-stock driver who rolled his car last week and Shane Scism who rolled his 4-wheeler during intermission.

Winners of the four age divisions in the bike races received trophies. The top three in each age category received a bag of school supplies. After the races were run a drawing was held and Winston Slavens from Fort Scott, Kan., received a new bike.

Next week will be the Flagman's Special races featuring a $400 prize for the feature winner in the Street Stock division and a $600 prize for the feature winner in the Modified Division. Join us each and every week at the Biggest little racetrack in the country to catch all the action.
