Coming Soon...8th Annual GRP Racing Trivia Contest (Hosted by Minnesota Dirt Track Racing website)
The track crew at the mythical MDTR Speedway is busy making preparations for the 8th Annual GRP Racing Trivia Contest. The annual contest format will be the same as last year with four divisions in action. The contest will run in two one-week segments. The first week of the contest kicks off on Sunday January 14, 2007 with the super stock and modified divisions and runs through Saturday January 20. Then the late model and sprint car divisions take over with their contest dates running from Sunday January 21 to Saturday January 27. Each division will have seven full days of competition. By splitting them up into one week segments, contest promoter GRP will have a chance to keep up-to-date with all of the events that take place at the MDTR Speedway while concentrating on two divisions each week.
Head flagman, Stan M, returns to the flagstand for his eighth contest. Stan will once again be keeping a close eye on the competition on the track, as well as the activity near the beer stand where Vinster's Maximum Babes (VMAX) all-girl pit crew will be once again signing autographs during intermission at various times. The campground area will get wild from time to time, especially if that Bloomer0 fan from Shawano gets over this way. Zimmy has been known to capture some interesting pics with his Monster Zoom during contest action. The host of characters who enter the contest in hopes of bringing home the top prize in each division usually provide plenty of photo ops and plenty to write about. The fun begins one week from today. Stan M will throw the green flag on the contest and set up links to it from his MDTR Message Board and the 20/20 Racing Page forum. As always, the contest is free to enter.
