Just a heads up, this weekend has the most automobile excitement I know of all year long!!!
Thursday: Real Street Drags at Union Grove, great time, I never miss it, TuffEnuff's car is evidently back on the (track). Always a complete blast, never disappointed. 4PM - 12AM. Do not miss the last 15 minutes of the night. (Unless everybody is an idiot and would rather cause a commotion than race, happened last time.)
Friday: Two events, unfortunately you cannot be in two places at once so you have to miss at least one of these! In Kaukauna at W.I.R. is the "Eve of Destruction", evidently this is one of the best events all year long, rave reviews everywhere I heard, they have school bus Figure 8 races, trailer races of destruction, car jumps, all kinds of crazy sh!t. One guy said the school busses hit in the figure 8 so hard sometimes they do barrel rolls and keep going. However I heard from a number of places it is advance tickets ONLY and if you show up without a ticket you will not get in. They said "DJs SportZone" in the Appleton mall has tickets. 7 PM.
Friday: Lake Geneva has the "Tour of Destruction" they are having school bus demo derbys, ROLLOVER Contests (oh baby), tractor demo derbies, trailer races, and more. 7 PM.
Sunday: The greatest event of them all! The 2004 Slinger Speedway Enduro 200!! Without a doubt, the race I look forward to the most All year. There is more action in this one race than the entire season put together. Nothing can match the excitement of this race. If you ever enjoyed seeing auto race wrecks, you cannot afford to miss this race. They have over 100 amateurs racing the paved oval 1/4mi track for 200 laps, and there are no yellow flags!! In fact they only stop the race if someone loses a tire, starts on fire, or gets injured. If cars get junked on the main straightaway , they keep racing!!! They let the other cars BASH them out of the way!! Many times I've seen someone get nailed about 20 feet in front of me!! You should hear the metal crunch. This is so much action your neck will be sore from trying to look at it all. It lasts about 3 hours. They have a 4 cylinder class afterwards for 100 laps that is also astonishingly fun to watch. Sometimes they have a figure 8 or demo derby afterwards but the past few years they haven't. I have attended the last 7 or so of these in a row. Here are some of my photos from the 2003 event:
Look at all those cars lined up!
