| Well we actually
reside in what is known as Santa Claus's town, that's right the North Pole.
Located approximately 12 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. This
is the country where it is light all night during the summer months (all
3 of them) and dark all day in the winter months. It takes a little
getting used to but the summers are worth every bit of the wait.
It actually all started way back in 1961, about 10 minutes after I was born. Racing fever set in. As a young tyke at about 5 or 6 years old I learned my father was as pretty fair racer himself prior to my arrival in the world. He made the mistake of giving me an opportunity of looking through some of his racing albums, ha!, that was it I was destined to be a racer, someday, somehow. Well I didn't get an early start but I finally started racing in the Sportsman's Class back in 1988, won Rookie of the Year. I moved to my dream class courtousy of my beloved wife, entertaining our Rookie Year in Sprints for the 1996. We are members with one of the few Non Profit Racing Associations left on the planet (I think), the Greater Fairbanks Racing Association. We'll race Memorial Day through Labor Day each season, racing for local points at the Robert Mitchell Memorial Raceway. A small 3/8's mile Dirt (of course) Oval located just outside of Fairbanks. Each Saturday we run Sprints, Sportsman's, B-Stocks and Mini Stocks, with usually 3 Demolition Derbies throughout the year just for good measure. In addition to our local points races we also have the Alaskan State Shoot-out annually. All 3 dirt tracks participate, Fairbanks, Capital Speedway in Willow, Alaska, a 3/8's mile, and the Twin Cities Speedway located in Kenai, Alaska, a big 1/2 mile. The State Shoot-out consists of 3 double weekends, one at each track with an individual points system excluded from our local events. Believe me DIRT TRACKING in the GREAT WHITE NORTH is as good as you'll find anywhere. Well, we are glad you stopped by, hope to see you again sometime. If your ever in our neck of the world give us a shout, come on out to the races. Take care and maybe will cross paths, hope you enjoy the rest of our site. Tips and Comments are always welcome.
