FOX RIDGE Fires Up for 2006
(4/19/2006)

(ARCADIA, Wisconsin) – With the west central Wisconsin country side laid out before them this Friday night, the people will sit back, relax and enjoy the sites and sounds which surround them.
Is it the rolling bluff lands that they’ll be viewing? Is it the natural beauty of the wetlands along the Trempealeau river that will catch their eyes?
Will it be the spectacular site lines to the early spring sun setting behind the ridge tops as the sky over head opens up to display her jewel be speckled view of the starry universe above that will catch their breath with shear delight? Or, perhaps the sounds of nature will waft up and out of the valley below, riding a gentle breeze to reach the top of the ridge where they’re sitting, to tickle their ears?
While these experiences, and more, will surely be available, it’ll be a completely different form of ‘wild life’ on display this Friday night for those gathered on the north side of Arcadia, WI.
This Friday marks the 2006 season opener at FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY!
The talk and excitement has been building at a non-stop pace this past week as competitors and fans alike look forward to the chance of returning to one of the premier dirt-track facilities in the upper mid-west for a night of thunderous racing action!
The fans who make the trek to FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY will surely not be disappointed; their initial options will be to either visit the state of the art indoor restaurant-grade concession area, or venture straight out onto the spacious cement grandstands to grab their preferred seating location.
Or, perhaps they’ll decide to make it a special evening by spending the night enjoying the action from one of the many decks of the second-floor V.I.P. area!
Once they’re settled in, the choices and options open further still. Which super star driver will they be rooting for in the six different divisions that will be attacking the lightning fast big 3/8-mile on this particular evening?
The options are almost limitless for the race fan as their excitement will be brought to a crescendo by WISSOTA Late Models – that’s right, the ultra-sophisticated WISSOTA Late Models are back at FOX RIDGE again for the ’06 season – USRA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks (all five of which are officially sanctioned), or the mighty little crowd pleasing 4-Cylinder Hornets.
Will it be former WISSOTA LATE MODEL National Champion Pat Doar (who’s expressed interest in visiting for the season opener) for whom they cheer? Or will they be rooting for former track champion Steve Isenberg, second generation driver Tim Isenberg or local Late Model ace Lance Mathees?
Will Defending Track Champion Danny Hanson hear their cheers in the WISSOTA Street Stock Division, or another ‘hot shoe’ such as Michael Conrad?
The bottom line, however, is that the fans will have the opportunity to see the best of the best, in both competition and facility, this Friday night.
“We know that the drivers and the fans have a lot of choices for their entertainment,” commented track owners Dave and Judy Hesch, “so we’re trying to provide all of them with the best we can offer for their alternative options – whether it’s our concession and eating area, our clean facilities, our track surface, or our free admission for the kids; We’re really trying to provide a family-friendly environment for our customers to choose as an entertainment option on Friday nights throughout the summer!”
As a matter of fact, some may not even wait until Friday night – a special ‘Test and Tune’ session is being held (weather permitting) Thursday evening (April 20th) from 6 to 9 pm. This event gives drivers an opportunity to get a feel for the track, ‘dial in’ their car’s setups and generally prepare for Friday night’s season opener. Race fans and even casual observers are welcome to attend – while the complete concession area may not be open for the ‘Test and Tune’ session, there’s no admission fee on Thursday night.
Friday night’s on-track action gets underway with hot laps at 7 pm and the green flag for the opening race of the season flying at 7:30! Adult admission is just $10 with all children 12 years of age and under admitted absolutely free!!
So, pack the entire family into the family auto, and head on over to FOX RIDGE SPEEDWAY to see the Stars of Dirt-Track racing on one of the fastest and most fan-friendly speedways in the upper Midwest!
