• WI wingLESS)In 7 years, a thought has become what just very well may be the largest weekly car count in all of sprint car racing. The IRA sanctioned AutoMeter Wisconsin wingLESS Sprints brought 42 cars to Wilmot Raceway Saturday for opening night. And what makes this noticeable as these cars are unique to this series only in regards to rules package. A full size sprint, no limit on shocks, or anything, only difference engine is a GM604 powerplant with a spec alky carb, and Hoosier H series tires across the rear. Class mandates updated safety bars, tethers, etc... It can be done. On to Beaver Dam Friday, and Wilmot Saturday. Race Wisconsinbly! 5/2

• IRA)The IRA had all 3 divisions in action at Wilmot Raceway Saturday with 28 winged 410’s, 42 WI wingLESS, and 19 Lightning Sprints.

This weekend has the 410’s at Cedar Lake Speedway Saturday, the wingLESS are at Beaver Dam Raceway Friday and Wilmot Raceway Saturday, and the Lightning are also at at Wilmot Sat. 5/2

• IRA)As the calendar turned from April to May the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association rolled into the Wilmot Raceway for the second night of the season and the Johnny Reimer Memorial.
