laney - Menomonie and Eau Claire have a number of choices. about an hour from the track to Eau Claire. a few hotels sprinkled in between on 94. further south down 94, Tomah has a number of hotels as well. just a matter of how far you want to drive afterwards, as there are a few things in new richmond and baldwin, close to the track. we are getting into 'swerving for deer' season though. lots of camping at the track, which is what i have done for many years. awesome place, awesome track, can be lightning fast.

Hudson has some good options for rooms also. Best Western, Holiday Inn Express, Super 8, Faifield Inn, etc. I'm gonna call tomorrow morn to book a room, but I called several places today just to be sure on availability and all the places I checked had ample rooms open. It's only about 20 mins from the track and there are good amenities (restaurants/bars, gas, shops). Have a safe drive, it'll be worth the trip! I'm takin' Tatnell and Winters as my favorites, and Jerry, Jr as the sentimental fav!
Anybody got a report from Superior yet? Looks like they got some rain in the area. Hope they got the show in.
As long as I can get service with my Blackberry, I'll try to post a couple updates thru the night. Cheers!

UMSS results:
Tatnell Adds To Richert Memorial Victories With UMSS
Win
New Richmond, WI
By: Greg Parent (9-11-10)
Coming into the 10th Annual Jerry Richert Sr Memorial at the Cedar Lake
Speedway, Brooke Tatnell had two victories in the 410 sprint car portion of this
prestigious racing event. However, Tatnell was looking for his first 360
sprint car title. On Saturday night September 11, Tatnell topped a strong
field of 26 Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series entrants to earn his first Richert
Memorial triumph in the 360 sprint car ranks. With his brother-in-law
Jerry Richert Jr. finishing behind him in the runner-up position, it was a great
night for the famous racing family from Forest Lake, Minnesota as they honored a
true racing legend in this annual memorial tribute. It was Tatnell's
second UMSS win of the season, as he kept his feature race winning percentage
perfect in 2010 UMSS action.
Tatnell commented in his victory lane interview with sprint car announcer
Justin Zoch on what it means to be a part of this event and a part of the
Richert family. Tatnell continued, "The UMSS is growing each year and is
only in its second season. They are generating interest amongst younger
drivers. This group of cars tonight was a very good quality field.
The UMSS is heading in the right direction. Some have asked me if a should
be here racing with the UMSS, but it is a sprint car race and I definitely enjoy
racing with them. I need to be here. Sprint car racing is what I
do." Brooke Tatnell certainly does it well, as he drove the Nelson
Motorsports sprinter to a convincing victory over the second largest UMSS field
of the season.
Following the usual double-round of qualifying races utilized by the UMSS,
the 20 car starting grid for the 20 lap Countryside Plumbing & Heating
feature race idled around the track with their three-wide 360 sprint car salute
to the crowd. Defending UMSS champion Leigh Thomas and Richert brought the
field to the green. Thomas grabbed the lead in the first corner, but the
race was under caution when Kevin Nickel tagged the backstretch wall and
collected rookie Mark Yetter. Both cars needed wrecker assistance and were
done before a lap was completed. On the next attempt to go green, Brad
Barickman coasted to a stop in turn four with driveline problems ending his bid
for his fifth UMSS win this year. The third try to get underway went
green, as Richert led Thomas to complete the opening lap. Tatnell got past
Thomas on the second lap and closed in on Richert.
With Tatnell putting the pressure on Richert for the lead, the third
caution blinked on when Alan Gilbertson looped his car while exiting turn four
on to the front stretch with five laps scored. On the restart, Tatnell
ducked underneath Richert entering turn one and swept into the lead. Young
Robby Wolfgang, making his first UMSS start of the season, raced past Thomas to
third on lap six. Four-time 2010 UMSS feature winner Chris Graf also moved
by Thomas for fourth. One lap later, Graf got around Wolfgang for third
while Joseph Kouba moved into the top five. Graf continued his march
forward when he moved under Richert for second on lap eight.
The race was slowed for the fourth time with eleven laps in when Troy
Manteufel spun in turn four and collected Justin Giddings. Both cars were
out. Tatnell's big lead disappeared, as Graf closed up to his rear nerf
bar for the restart. One more lap was completed, and then the race went
under the red flag. Rookie contender Jared Goerges flipped in turn four
after making contact with the car in front of him. Under the red, Graf
notified UMSS officials that his car was beginning to lose power with a motor
issue. Graf restarted, but he only lasted a couple more laps before
pulling into the infield. This put Richert back in second. Tatnell
was long gone up front though.
Over the final green flag laps, Richert and Wolfgang traded second on
several occasions. As the checkered flag waved, Tatnell raced to
victory. Richert held off Wolfgang for second. Leigh Thomas and Bill
Boles rounded out the top five. Completing the top ten was Sye Anderson,
Joseph Kouba, Mark Toews, current UMSS point leader Cody Hahn, and top UMSS
rookie contender Ronnie Erickson. Tatnell earned $1,000 for his win.
Three Ultimate Sprint heat races took place. Shannon Eriksen, making
his first CLS start, pulled away for the win in the Midwest Racing Talk.com
first heat. Richert raced to the win in the Driverwebsites.com second
heat. Alan Gilbertson bested Bill Boles in the Sprintsource.com third
heat. The third heat had several problems. A crash on the opening
lap in turn one saw Jimmy Kouba get upside down. Johnny Parsons, Mark
Toews and Bill Boles were also involved. Kouba and Parsons were out while
Boles and Toews restarted. Toews was minus his front nose wing.
Following another caution when Troy Manteufel stalled on the track, the restart
saw Toews attempt to race underneath Brandon Allen entering turn one.
Toews' car drifted into Allen's sprinter, causing Allen to execute a series of
flips. Allen's car exited the turn two wall and ended up in the grass area
near the catch fence in front of the track scales. Allen was taken to a
local hospital complaining of a sore shoulder. A later update from the
hospital indicated Brandon was bruised and beaten up, but no further injures
were reported. Allen's misfortune earned him the $200 GRP Motorsports Hard
Luck Award.
In Challenge race action, Alan Gilbertson passed race leader rookie Jared
Goerges on the final lap to steal the win in the Bryant Heating & Cooling
Systems race. A violent-looking front stretch flip in the first challenge
race caused heavy damage to Shannon Eriksen's sprinter. Eriksen was okay,
but his night was over. The Mastell Brothers Trailer Service challenge
race saw Robby Wolfgang lead the entire distance for the win, but he was under
pressure late in the race by Tatnell.
The next UMSS race is scheduled for Arlington Raceway on September 25 with
an afternoon start time. The UMSS then rounds out their second season with
a stop at the Ogilvie Raceway on October 2nd. Cody Hahn continues to lead
Brad Barickman and Jerry Richert Jr. in the season point standings while Ronnie
Erickson holds a slim lead over Jared Goerges in the GRP Motorsports/BP Trading
Company rookie of the year battle. For further information, please visit

Good show last night. Great weather and a good turnout of 62 sprint cars total was a record for Cedar Lake (36 410 and 26 360, I believe). Great mix of IRA, Knoxville, and other travellers. Track was near perfect, fast in qualifying and then widened out to produce plenty of passing all night long. Was good to see T-Mac on his feet and in good spirits and it's always great to see Wolfie hangin' round the pit area too. Kudos to Scotty Winters as he fell back to 5th from his front row starting position only to come back to the front by mid-race. Winters and Dobmeier pretty much put on a slide job clinic through lapped traffic as they traded the lead several times a lap. Dobmeier kept it close, but ultimately Winters had enough to stay ahead once they had an open track in front of them.
Thanks to all the race teams that were there and hope to see you all again soon!
"They'll learn."

Winters Wheels To Richert Memorial Win
The IRA Sprints gathered at Cedar Lake Speedway on
Saturday night for the tenth time to honor Jerry Richert and they put
on a show befitting the legend. Front row starters Mark Dobmeier and
Scott Winters put on a thrilling battle through lapped traffic with
Winters eventually nabbing the lead and cruising to the $3,300 victory.
After a false start, Dobmeier got the jump from the pole
position and set a blistering pace until a lap eight red flag for
second place Davey Heskin, who tangled with the lapped car of Ty
Bartz and tipped over. Both were finished for the night. On the
restart, Winters was on Dobmeier's tail with Travis Whitney, running
the Dewall 16, and Bill Balog in tow. Winters caught Dobmeier in
lapped traffic and they put on a thrilling show, swapping the top
spot lap after lap until a lap 24 caution for a spinning Billy Hafemann.
Scott Winters lined up in front on the restart and was
able to pull away from Dobmeier and Balog to take the win, his fifth
career IRA score at Cedar Lake Speedway. Dobmeier was second while
Balog kept his consecutive top-five IRA streak alive with his
nineteenth consecutive top five finish in full IRA point shows alive.
Ian Madsen was fourth in his first visit to the speedway and Scott
Biertzer was fifth.
Heat races for the 36 car field were won by Dobmeier,
Balog, Winters and John Haeni while Ian Madsen scored quick time with
a lap of 11.238 seconds and also won the B-main. The IRA returns to
action next weekend with a Friday night stop at the Oshkosh Speedzone
before heading to the Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth,
Wisconsin, on Saturday night.
