SWIFT CURRENT READY FOR BIG 2012 RACING SEASON
Swift Current's Speedy Creek Raceway has long been a favorite destination for Saskatchewan racing fans. In the past, they would be treated to regular race nights of Streets, Hobby's and Mini Stocks with a few IMCA Modified shows sandwiched in the schedule. Speedy Creek has also been known to add one extra race weekend special each season. In years past, fans have been treated to racing tours, primarily originating rom Alberta.
Included on that list were the IMCA Modified Wolff Pack Run, the Alberta Sportsman Sprints and the Alberta Sprint Tour's Prairie Dirt Classic.
In 2012, the Swift Current dirt track faithful will see a slight change in their program. The first change is a cut in the number of race dates. In 2011, the Saskatchewan bullring hosted 12 race nights. The 2012 schedule features 9 nights of racing.
The reduced schedule does come with an upside. The new lineup of car classes will make each and every race night a new and exciting experience. To start, IMCA Modifieds will be part of all but one race weekend on the Speedy Creek schedule. It makes sense as there has been a recent growth in the number of local Mods because of the Wolff Pack Run.
The rest of the regular classes will include Streets, Hobby's and Trucks.
One thing that Speedy Creek Raceway does is listen to their fans. They have heard the requests and the track is delivering this season.
Another big weekend has been scheduled for June 15 and 16, featuring the return of the Alberta Sportsman Sprints and, for the first time to Swift Current, the Northern Thunder DLM. This group of Wissota Late Model drivers primarily race at Edmonton's Castrol Raceway.
Without a doubt, this will be THE "not to be missed" racing weekend in Southwest Saskatchewan.
