Let’s face it, saving their pit slab is the reason a lot of people enter the Thursday night show. Maybe raise the stakes a bit and let the race winner take another competitors slab at the end of the night. Fact or Fiction; JT Longshots in downtown West Salem was staffed mainly by former Raceway Park Figure 8 competitors and their wives on Saturday of ‘Fest? This is true. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, but the Wilson, Lebens and Cheever group were serving food and slinging cocktails for patrons all afternoon due to a staffing shortage. Fact or Fiction; Ricky Brooks disqualified the Big 8 Late Model winner at Oktoberfest? Sorry folks, but this was fiction. While the winner of the event was DQ’d, Ricky was in the spectator area watching the Big 8 Late Model main event. Fact or Fiction; LaCrosse Speedway hand makes the pizza sold at their concession stands? Believe it or not, this too is a fact. While the Moma Lisa’s pizza is good too, I’ve always enjoyed the pizza at the track concession stand. I was surprised to see someone in the concession stand spreading out the dough and putting the ingredients together. Dave Noelke confirmed they make their pizza from scratch. You don’t see that too often at race tracks these days. Fact or Fiction: Steve Rubeck arrived at Oktoberfest with a Nissan Cube known as the “Rubeck’s Cube?” This too is fiction, and a cheesy job of Photoshop on my part, but hopefully a few people thought it was funny.
