REMINDER ON TRANSPONDER ORDERS

This is a reminder that orders for transponders are to be mailed by Friday March 12th. You have the chance to purchase at our 2009 price, and $150 less the suggested retail. If you’re going to be racing at Viking Speedway, you’ll be required to have an ABM transponder. Please refer to www.vikingspeedway.net for ordering instructions. If any questions please call 3207608256.

AMB Transponders Available

As previously announced, Viking Speedway will be using the AMB Transponder scoring system. All of Viking Speedways regularly scheduled race classes will be required to have scoring transponders on their race cars as of April 24th. To help keep cost down, Viking Speedway will offer a onetime opportunity to purchase, either the Direct wire or Rechargeable transponders at our cost.

We will offer either style transponder for $270.00 tax included. If you wish to have the units mailed to you there will be an additional $5.00 charge. We will accept orders accompanied with full payment thru March 12th. Please make payment in the form of check or money order only.

7th Annual Fall Classic Postponed Due To Wet & Snow AGAIN

The 7th annual Viking Fall Classic presented by Shaw Trucking Inc. has regrettably been postponed AGAIN due to wet grounds this week leading up to and into the weekend. The 7th annual Viking Fall Classic has been rescheduled for Thursday, Friday & Saturday, APRIL 15th-17th 2010.

As of mid-day on Wednesday, the forecast calls for below average temperatures and more rain showers to fall in the Alexandria area over the next day, therefore the decision has been made to postpone the entire weekend yet again.

Event promoter Chris Stepan said ‘Just like the last two weeks, the weather has been just terrible over the past couple of days and even though the temperatures and weather forecast looks decent for Friday and Saturday, the grounds and race track are still very wet and with the forecasted rain over the next day likely, we just don’t see any way of getting the track and grounds ready for even a Saturday/Sunday or Sunday only event and I certainly don’t want to get everyone here to Alex and then be forced to pull the plug because we can’t get it on once everyone’s already here.’

Stepan also said ‘After discussing this with Phil, the other Viking board members and the track prep crew at Viking for quite some time over the past three days and throughout the morning today, we came to a consensus that with the extreme wetness of the facility, the forecast for more rain and snow tonight and the cold temperatures and snow that is expected through Friday, that the best thing to do would be to postpone the event until next spring.’

The plan is to run the same schedule as was previously planned during the weekend of the 15th-17th of April with an open practice on Thursday night, April 15th from 6p-9p and then racing on Friday night, April 16th and Saturday afternoon, April 17th with a rain date for Sunday, April 18th if needed. Stepan commented ‘The only small piece of good news that comes out of our postponement is that next year we get to have a Fall Classic, or Spring Classic if you will, in April and then the regularly scheduled 8th annual Fall Classic in October as normal.’

‘Thanks to everyone who has held off putting your race cars in storage for the winter to support this event. Trust me, I wanted to get this event in more than anyone, but we just don’t see any way of beating the weather.’ Stepan added.

See everyone in April!

Pipeline Travel Plaza Named Official Travel Plaza of 7th Viking Fall Classic


The Pipeline Travel Plaza, located just off of Interstate I-94 at Exit 100 in Alexandria, MN has been named as the official Travel Plaza of the 7th annual Viking Fall Classic coming up on October 8th, 9th and 10th 2009. Pipeline has awarded a long tow award to one lucky driver each week throughout the entire regular season at the Viking Speedway, but has really stepped it up for the year ending Fall Classic.



Pipeline will be offering a $100 fuel card to the driver that tows the farthest in EACH of the six divisions in competition at this year’s Fall Classic. One driver per class will be rewarded with some free fuel to help offset the costs of towing so far to support the 7th annual Fall Classic.



Pipeline also has a full truck repair shop that is open from 7am to 5pm on Friday as well as from 7am to noon on Saturday for racers or fans that may need any repairs done to their big or small rigs throughout the course of the weekend. They will also have mechanics and parts ‘on call’ all weekend for emergency repairs if needed.



Pipeline will also offer 10% off all food purchases made at Willy’s Roadside Café (located inside Pipeline Travel Plaza) and you can take an additional 10% off of your meal purchase (20% total) if you fuel with Pipeline throughout the course of the weekend.



Pipeline promises to have a full line of ice cold beer, ice, assortment of snacks and even firewood for you campers who are coming to town for the weekend.



And finally, Pipeline will offer a discounted truck wash/wax for racers who want a clean rig either before or after the Fall Classic, by offering this service for only $50 and all you have to do is mention the Fall Classic to get the discount.



Thanks to Bill and Kevin from Pipeline for stepping up to support the event and help the racers in such a big way!

Thanks,
Chris
