La Crosse Wisconsin is fairly close too, might be an option.

When I looked the other day it said 90 was in LA Crosse which is about an hour southeast of fountain city/winona. The only winona one I saw was 400. Maybe I didn't look on the right sight 樂

Appreciate it! I'll take a look once I'm done with work tonight.

[Birky.Fan]

Hopefully it's still available by then lol.

It is what it is. I only live about an hour and a half from fountain city. So if I gotta drive, it's not the end of the world.

I'll be going all three days. Very fortunate for me we have family in Winona to stay with and I'll take the nephew and great nephews to the races as a treat for them putting me up. Couldn't work out better.

The good thing about this track is that the operator is a former racer himself and he and his staff really work to deliver a great racing surface. I've gone to a bunch of specials at MTS and the track has always been top notch. The facility keeps improving and the people who work at the track are some of the best I've experienced.

The undercard event is the USMTS mods and they also put on a great show.

Lucky for you ! Hope you have a good time !

For those wanting to watch both USMTS and WoO. You’ll need a DV sub and a RacinDirt sub. As usual DV playing hard ball here.

eau claire is 60 miles from fountain city and has dozens of motels. See map quest.

Good car count with 38 Late Models and 73 USMTS Modifieds. Bobby Pierce wins the Late Models and Lucas Schott wins the Modifieds. Great track !!

What did I miss that was so great last night? First heat was racy with 3 lead changes. Other 3 heats were BORING! Bmains were as expected, boring. Pole winner drove away led every lap. Typical DirtVision does not show what Rick is watching on the track but apparently Dillard passed a few cars. 49 pulled off. Boom faded.

Dirtvision apparently wont even show the mods racing at their race. We had to watch boring Bristol again.

This stuff has gotten way too predictable

It’s because nobody cares about $50k anymore. There are so many $50k races. These promoters are going to lose a lot of money doing this.


A WoO race paying $50k and drawing 30 some drivers (that can afford to travel) isn’t much more than a $5k race was 10 years ago. Then there’s XR losing all that money to get mediocre counts of big names. One night $22k races drawing mediocre fields.


Low car counts and unrealistic purses to get these low car counts does not bode well for the future. Fans are getting NOTHING from these high dollar races except high ticket prices. Low car counts for the purse. Same awful formats. Shorter races laps.

[Pennsboro32]

There’s not a ton of late models anymore. The FLO races getting almost 50 cars are good car counts for mid week shows.

[huskerdirt]

The car count at 50k shows aren’t gonna be much to brag about this year because the sport has inflated the purses and it really only helps the top end guys. It’s great the show me finally got to 50k to win. But it’s still 2k to start, that’s not helping pull anymore teams to these races. If you got a 50k to win show, be happy if get more than 40.

The streaming services are running the sport now. Long term I don’t think it’s for the greater good of the sport, it might even be the downfall of it in 5-10 years.

[Highside Hustler25]

The xr series shows pay $2500 to start but you're right. That number needs to go up.
