Rumor is that Canby, MN track is opening. Rules meeting Dec. 6 at Canby VFW. Also rumor has it that "Tim Graves" is in cahoots with this. If anyone knows "Tim Graves", its bad news. He had Tomahawk Speedway in Wagner,SD and wasn't paying people and also had a track in MN this year and went down hill. Don't know if this is true about "Graves" but have to go to meeting to be sure. If he is "HE IS BAD NEWS"!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought i would let people know.

What class's would they have? What nights would they race?

 They will open there Season on April 25th With a Car Show at the Fair Grounds Pavilion and the next day will be Test N tune. There first scheduled race will be on Saturday Night May 2nd at 8pm. There is a Rules Meeting Scheduled for December 6th at 12 noon at the VFW located at 205 1st St W. in Canby. They are hopeful to finalize a contract with Wissota Promoters Association. They are hoping to race the Wissota Mods, Wissota Super Stocks or Wissota Midwest Mods, the Wissota Street Stocks, the Factory Stocks and the Front Wheel Drive Cars.They also are planning on racing a Late Model Special and a 360 Winged Sprint Car Show.An questions can be sent to [email protected]

Where did that latest info come from? Do you still think Tim Graves is behind it?

I have no idea, but remember this, for both his Wagner and Luverne attempts, he created an e-mail of "track name here" @yahoo.com. Set up "rules meetings" and began his season with a car show.

I would expect "Bailey42" or "kittycatlady" might know more if Tim is involved.

Update:

According to a post by dnoyes66 (a wissota super stock racer at I-90 Speedway in Hartford, SD) on the I-90 speedway board, Terry Cameron is the new promoter at Canby.

neisteadt, you are right, terry is also in on it. From what i have heard, he is bad news too. What, do they think that" two wrongs make a right"? Any one that is reading this, you don't have to believe me on this, but i was just warning people that heard about it and are planning on racing there. thanks

I recieved a e mail from a George Graham about getting a booth at the swap meet for the canby track

This is the Canby track's mailing address: 1201 North Cleveland Ave. Sioux Falls, SD 57103

There was a time when this was the mailing address of I-90 Speedway as well...following is copied from whowon.com:

Tim Graves simply worked for Terry Cameron at Hartford. I doubt if Cameron would take him on as a partner at Canby. If Graves is involved, it would be as Cameron's employee.
