| 07-Midwest Snowmobile Drag Racing Series at Great Lakes Dragaway |
| We get excited about snowmobile asphalt racing, because it gives us
a perfect opportunity to develop even more products year round. Let's face it,
actual "on the snow" testing only lasts three months if you are lucky, while the
drag strip is open from May to December. A quarter-mile asphalt strip also
correlates well with lake running in the winter. Products performing well on the
asphalt drag strip only need small corrections in clutch weights and jetting for the
colder winter weather.
Butch Veltum and his son Ryan plus their cousin Adam Smith and a number of Butch's friends also participate in major asphalt drag races. The Great Lakes Dragaway is located in Union Grove, Wisconsin, just a few miles off of I-94, halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee. They run both a Summit series bracket program and the Midwest Snowmobile Drag Racing Bracket Series. In addition, there will be a qualifier with 1000cc Pro Stock machines on Memorial Day weekend for the NHRA finals at Brainerd. Union Grove regulars are a very competitive group. Last August at the big American Snowmobiler Magazine Shoot Out races at Martin, Michigan, Jeff Janquis and Greg Antonio won the bracket races on Saturday and Sunday out of 70 plus strong fields, While Ryan Veltum took home a 3rd on Saturday and Adam Smith was runner up in the final on Sunday. This years Martin, Michigan race is scheduled for September 22-23, 2007 and we will be there with our racers and a display tent. If you want to get ready for Martin, the Midwest Snowmobile Drag Racing Series at the Great Lakes Dragaway is where the previous Martin winners compete. The series pays out to winner, runner up, and semi finalist and there is a season high point system. The 2007 series run on Friday nights and is scheduled not to be on a Summit series weekend so you can compete in both series. |
