Last season the Touring Sprint cars invaded the track for their first ever time. The show was enthusiatically rated a succes by the drivers and fans alike that were on hand to see the event. The show produced one of the largest attendance nights of the season. The 1500lb rocket ships with 31 square feet of aluminum wings fly around the bank turns at high speeds and rarely lift out of the throttle while blasting down the front straight two and three wide. Some of the expected WISSOTA Sprint Cars to be on hand are Alan Gilbertson from Kasson MN. Jimmy Kouba from Bryon MN along with family members Joe and Joseph Kouba. Jake Peters, Loren Langerud, Roger Rager and many many others.
