What's up

Baby and work are taking priority now. But, I've got some notes scribbled in between naps and looking to update soon.

I've got some 2010 thoughts and a wish list for the 2011 season on deck.

In the meantime go vote in the sprint car poll --->

WRP Sold - Racing Operations to Cease

We just wanted to let you all know of the pending sale of WRP. We have accepted an offer on the property and are expecting to close the sale in mid January. The intention of the buyer is to use the land for purposes other than racing. All of the equipment, bleachers, guardrail, fence, etc will be sold. If you are interested on purchasing any of these items, please give Mike a call.

We were certainly hoping for a buyer interested in keeping the property as a racetrack, but unfortunately this did not happen. Thanks again everyone for your support for 22+ years. There will probably be sold signs placed at the racetrack sometime this week and we wanted you all to hear this information from us. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Have a Merry Christmas and great 2011!

Sincerely,

Mike and Adina Stephens

Familiar faces, new places, big money races highlight 2011 USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour campaign

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa - Vacation days and personal time off requests for 2011
may now be submitted to your employer!

Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series released a
tentative 2011 schedule of events today that should warm the hearts of
thousands of race fans enduring bitter cold throughout America's heartland.

The 2011 campaign currently has a whopping 85 race nights slated at 57
premier dirt ovals in 13 states, with as many as eight additional shows yet
to be penciled in. The line-up of events showcasing the premier dirt
modified drivers in America features an exciting mix of classic events at
familiar venues, as well as several new locales that are certain to jump
start every race fan's hunger for the series' 13th year of competition.

The schedule is highlighted with return engagements to 34 facilities that
hosted a USMTS event last season, 10 speedplants that are returning to the
line-up after an absence of a year or more, and 10 exciting dirt ovals that
will play host to the touring USMTS titans for the first time.

The USMTS Southern Series, which tallied separate points and crowned its own
champion for the past four seasons, will now be a part of the USMTS Casey's
General Stores National Tour with two regional champs emerging from those
events.

The 2011 grind will kick off Feb. 17-19 at the Royal Purple Raceway
(formerly Houston Raceway Park) in Baytown, Texas, with $2,000 to win on
Thursday, a $3,000 top prize on Friday and $4,000 earmarked for Saturday's
main event winner.

Two weeks later, action moves to the Junction Motor Speedway in McCool
Junction, Neb., for the 8th Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw on Friday and
Saturday, March 4-5. With $2,000 and $3,000 to win, respectively, during the
weekend doubleheader, more than 70 entries are once again expected for the
traditional lidlifter at the state-of-the-art 3/8-mile high-banked clay
oval.

Six more events dot the calendar in March, including the first-ever trek to
the Mid America Speedway in South Coffeyville, Okla., on Friday, March 11,
followed by a Saturday, March 12, date at the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt,
Kan., for the first of three weekends in 2011 that the USMTS Modifieds will
invade Ron and Rhenda Whitworth's reconfigured bullring.

The series inches closer to the equator the following two weekends with a
Friday, March 18, show at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont,
Texas; Saturday, March 19, at the Gator Motorplex in Willis, Texas; Friday,
March 25, at the Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La.; and Saturday, March
26, a the Lonestar Speedway in Kilgore, Texas.

The LA Raceway in La Monte, Mo., will be the location for a $2,000-to-win
April Fool's Day get-together, followed by a visit to the I-35 Speedway in
Winston, Mo., on Saturday, April 2 - the first race at the facility since
Mark Noble won there on April 13, 2003.

Deer Creek Speedway will host the inaugural World Modified Dirt Track
Championship, Wednesday-Saturday, April 6-9.

With a whopping $20,000 going to the winner and a minimum $1,500 to each of
the 30 main event starters on Saturday, the early-season blockbuster is
expected to draw the biggest names in open wheel dirt modified racing to the
Mecca of Modified racing in Spring Valley, Minn.

While the race will be sanctioned and officiated by the USMTS, the World
Modified Dirt Track Championship will be a non-points race and will feature
a one-of-a-kind qualifying format.

Drivers can register to qualify on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday with second
qualifying opportunity available for Wednesday and Thursday entrants that
purchase a "mulligan."

Each night, points will be awarded for time trials, heat races, "B" Mains
and the "A" Main with the top six in overall points each night being locked
into Saturday's $20,000-to-win World Modified Dirt Track Championship "A"
Main.

The highest overall points earner during the first three days of qualifying
will earn the pole for the Saturday's "A" Main, second most points in the
middle of the front row, third most points on the outside of the front row
and so on for the 18 qualified drivers.

Saturday will feature an "alphabet soup" of main events with 12 cars
advancing from the "B" Main to the "A" Main to create a 30-car starting
field featuring a three-wide start.

Nearly $100,000 has been earmarked for Saturday's "A" Main alone, with a
total purse of more than $160,000 posted for the four-day extravaganza.

An entry form for the World Modified Dirt Track Championship can be
downloaded at www.usmts.com and tickets for the event are available at
www.deercreekspeedway.com or by calling toll-free 877-327-7223.

The USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour returns to the Show-Me State
the following weekend for a tripleheader of $2,000-to-win events at three
racetracks hosting their first-ever USMTS show.

On Friday, April 15, race fans can relax on "tax day" at the Valley Speedway
in Grain Valley, Mo. Then on Saturday, April 16, the series makes it debut
at the Central Missouri Speedway - Earl and Susan Walls' popular high-banked
3/8-mile clay oval track located four miles north of Warrensburg, Mo. The
three-race weekend wraps up with an inaugural event at the Butler Speedway
in Butler, Mo.

Thursday, April 28, will see the USMTS speed merchants at the Tri-State
Speedway in Pocola, Okla., and Friday, April 29, they find their way back to
the lightning-fast Outlaw Motor Speedway in Wainwright, Okla. The teams and
haulers head back to the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line again on Saturday,
April 30, for a return trip to the West Siloam Speedway in West Siloam
Springs, Okla., after a one-year hiatus. The fourth straight night of racing
action takes place on Sunday, May 1, at the Monett Speedway in Monett, Mo.,
to cap off the weekend with a possible $8,000 to win over four nights.

Officials, drivers and fans alike are hoping the third time is the charm as
the USMTS hopes to shake two years of weather woes with the inaugural event
at the Heart O' Texas Speedway in Elm Mott, Texas, on Thursday, May 5. The
next day, the series make its first-ever trip to the RPM Speedway in
Crandall, Texas, followed by a Saturday, May 7, rendezvous at Bo Rawdon's
Cowtown Speedway in Kennedale, Texas, which also fell to rain the past two
seasons after a doozy of a show in 2008 that saw George White and two other
locals sweep the podium against the USMTS invaders.

The USMTS Modifieds will grace the Fairbury American Legion Speedway in
Fairbury, Ill., on Saturday, May 14, with bookend events on Friday at a
yet-to-be-determined location and Sunday, May 15, at the Quincy Raceways in
Quincy, Ill.

A packed house saw their hometown hero, Rodney Sanders, take the money in
the USMTS debut at the Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas, last
year, and the series returns in 2011 for an encore performance on Saturday,
May 21. Tentatively, an event is set for Sunday, May 22, at the Enid
Speedway in Enid, Okla.

Five traditional fan-favorites fill the Memorial Day Weekend, beginning with
the 10th Annual spring Classic at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa,
Iowa, on Wednesday, May 25, followed by the Highway 3 Raceway in Allison,
Iowa, hosting the 10th Annual Spring Clash on Thursday, May 26. The USMTS
Casey's General Stores National Tour dives into the Land of 10,000 Lakes for
the first time in 2011 on Friday, May 27, at the Chateau Raceway in Lansing,
Minn., before heading to Spring Valley, Minn., on Saturday, May 28, for a
return to the Deer Creek Speedway. The Dodge County Speedway in Kasson ,
Minn., closes the curtain on the weekend with the 10th Annual Stars &
Stripes Shootout on Sunday, May 29.

As it is every year, the month of June is filled with some of the best
on-track action of the campaign, but the most brutal for drivers and crews
with engines roaring in the evening on 17 of the 30 calendar days.

The excitement launches Tuesday, June 7, at the Huset's Speedway in Brandon,
S.D., for the first of twelve straight nights of racing. Voyages to the Red
River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D., on Wednesday, June 8; Casino
Speedway in Watertown, S.D., on Thursday, June 9; Brown County Speedway in
Aberdeen, S.D., on Friday, June 10; and Jamestown Speedway in Jamestown,
N.D, on Sunday, June 11, complete the "Chaos in Dakotas" series of events.

From there, the mud-slinging USMTS Modifieds travel through three states in
a span of 168 hours beginning with an annual stop at the Nobles County
Speedway in Worthington, Minn., on Sunday, June 12, followed by the Mineral
City Speedway in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Monday, June 13; Fairmont Raceway in
Fairmont, Minn., on Tuesday, June 14; Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, on
Wednesday, June 15; and a first-ever stop at the Central Wisconsin Raceway
in Unity, Wis., on Thursday, June 16.

Several months ago, fans voted for the racetrack they would most like to see
the USMTS visit in 2011. By popular demand as the #1 choice among fans, the
USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour returns to the Cedar Lake
Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., after nearly a decade and will be part of
the annual Masters event at "Wisconsin's fastest piece of real estate."

As the final two races of a 12-race swing, the USMTS will appropriately
share the spotlight with The Hell Tour featuring UMP Late Models during
their annual Summer Nationals grind on Friday and Saturday, June 17-18, for
a pair of $2,000-to-win clashes.

After a three-day rest, the month of June comes to a close with a
five-track, five-day swing. Tuesday, June 21, will be the third annual visit
to Joe Ringsdorf's I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa; Wednesday, June 22,
will bring the USMTS Modifieds back to the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta,
Iowa; Thursday, June 23, it's the 7th Annual All-Star Challenge at the Park
Jefferson Speedway in Jefferson, S.D.; Friday, June 24, the series returns
to the Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, for the first time since the
2008 season; and Saturday, June 25, will be a battle in Paul Bunyan's
backyard at the North Central Speedway in Brainerd, Minn.

Drivers, fans and officials alike will get their usual summer vacation with
just three events on the schedule between June 25 and the first race of the
Hunt for the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Championship on Aug. 11.

The Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., will host the
fire-breathing USMTS machines on Friday, July 15, followed by the 3rd Annual
Dirt Nationals at the Elko Speedway in Elko, Minn., on Saturday, July 16, as
the legendary asphalt track is transformed into a dirt gridiron. The
three-race stint wraps up on Sunday, July 17, for the Thunderbird Open
during the Dodge County Fair in Kasson, Minn.

For the second year in a row, the Hunt for the USMTS Casey's General Stores
National Championship kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 11, at the Great American
Dirt Track in Jetmore, Kan. Last year's debut at the high-banked 3/8-mile
oval saw Kelly Shryock beat Ryan Gustin to the finish line as they banged
their way to a photo finish to the delight of the fans who endured
temperatures soaring above 100 degrees.

Round 2 of the Hunt will take place one day later on Friday, Aug. 12, at the
Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., followed by a return trip to the
luxurious state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., on
Saturday, Aug. 13, after a one-year hiatus. Round 4 of The Hunt heads back
to familiar territory on Sunday, Aug. 14, at the Monett Speedway in Monett,
Mo.

Two new venues are up next with a trip to the Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie,
Minn., on Wednesday, Aug. 17, and the Rice Lake Speedway in Rice Lake, Wis.,
on Thursday, Aug. 18.

Action returns to Bob Timm's Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City,
Wis., on Friday, Aug. 19; the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa, on
Saturday, Aug. 20; and the Nobles County Speedway in Worthington, Minn., on
Sunday, Aug. 21.

The final four events of 2011 in the Hawkeye State take place on Thursday,
Aug. 25, at the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa; Friday, Aug.
26, for a first-ever trip to the Cedar County Speedway in Tipton, Iowa;
Saturday, Aug. 27, at the big half-mile Adams County Speedway in Corning,
Iowa; and Thursday, Sept. 1, at the Highway 3 Raceway on the historic Butler
County Fairgrounds clay in Allison, Iowa.

The Allison event kicks off the traditional four-race Labor Day Weekend with
the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minn., hosting the USMTS stars and cars on
Friday, Sept. 2; Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., on Saturday,
Sept. 3; and Dodge County Speedway in Kasson, Minn., on Sunday, Sept. 4.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16-18, the war for the $20,000 USMTS
Casey's General Stores National Tour crown will be waged at the Outlaw Motor
Speedway in Wainwright, Okla.; Salina Highbanks Speedway in Salina, Okla.;
and Butler Motor Speedway in Butler, Mo., respectively, before heading back
to the Upper Midwest for the season finale.

The Hunt for the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Championship will be
decided when the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour returns to the
Deer Creek Speedway for the 13th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 22-24.

The standing-room-only show has become one of the most popular races on the
calendars of open wheel dirt modified fans, as well as one of the most
lucrative for the drivers with more than $13,000 possible to win from a
purse of nearly $200,000 over three days.

All events throughout the season will pay a minimum of $2,000 to win and
$250 to start, while each race during the Hunt for the USMTS Casey's General
Stores National Championship will be worth a minimum of $3,000 to the winner
and $300 to start the main event.

But it's not over yet .

After the crowning of the 2011 USMTS National Champion, two more big money
non-points races remain.

With a similar qualifying format as the World Modified Dirt Track
Championship in April, USMTS officials have announced a second major-moolah
event for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 19-22, at the
Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan.

Track crews have already begun moving dirt and altering the landscape of the
popular speedplant in anticipation of this upcoming blockbuster event that
will carry a $15,000 top prize for the winner of Saturday's finale.

Among the changes in place or on the to-do list include moving of the pit
area to an area behind the backstretch to accommodate more racecars and
ample parking for the wave of fans expected for this contest. Also, drivers
will find the backstretch to be a little wider and farther from the turns,
but both fans and drivers can bank on the same high-speed wheel-to-wheel
action that "The Hummer" has become famous for.

The United States Modified Touring Series will close the curtain on its 13th
season of delivering the greatest Modified drivers in America to the best
speedways in America with the 5th Annual Texas Winter Nationals on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17-19, at the Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown,
Texas.

The season finale will be worth $2,000, $3,000 and $4,000 to win,
respectively, during the three-day extravaganza.
