"Live From" 3rd Annual Badger Summer Classic!!
 

This is my first attempt at a "Live From" for a Midwest Class Racers event. There has been a lot of buzz about the upcoming weekend at Rock Falls Raceway in Eau Claire, WI. Please feel free to add anything to this thread of your experience of this race. I have been at a steady rush since this is my first race outing for 2018. Excited to head through the rolling hills of Western Wisconsin this afternoon. Remember the gates open at 5:00PM but stacking can occur on the Spectator side until the gates open. See you at the Rock and safe travels.


Thanks,

Ok, not so "Live From" on my part... Thank You for the updates to this thread and to all the racers and their families for supporting this event. The potluck that was sponsored by Midwest Factory Finishes and the items brought to share was a great experience.

Rock Falls Raceway and the support from CTech Manufacturing is top notch and Midwest Class Racers appreciates the support for the 3rd Annual Badger Summer Classic.

Until next time, safe travels and will see you at the next event held at Tri State Raceway in Earlville, IA on June 30th and July 1st.

I didn't get many pictures over the weekend, but wanted to put my 2 cents in about this race. First, the facility was top-notch....well-run, real bathrooms, smooth track that hooked, nice pits, and they made it clear they were glad we were there. Second, I'd like to thank Scott Dugdale and everyone else who put this race together. Your efforts resulted in a very enjoyable race for us, plus who can argue with the payouts? We'll be back!
