For this years event, I was looking forward to P.O. Box 22111 round two of the Kalbus-Kane battle, but the event never St. Paul MN, 55122 to Plan took place, as Jay Kalbus decided to not bring a car to the 651-451-4036 show.

It sure seemed weird driving by The Midwest Raceway Park and knowing that the horse track is RACING the only race track left in Shakopee. Connection Racing According February, 2014 Anyway, back to the racing at Canterbury Park. to Plan Tucker Hibbert showed why he is leading the points P.O. Box 22111 on the ISOC tour this year, sweeping the weekend as St. Paul MN, 55122 651-451-4036 he captured both the Friday and Saturday night main www.theracingconnection.com events. Hibbert also broke the career win total held th by Blair “Superman” Morgan with his 85 tour win. Publisher He’s like the Jimmy Johnson of Snowmobiles, or Dan Plan Snowmachines as Ms. Palin would say. Contributing Writers Now I’m sure equipment plays a factor in Snocross Shane Carlson just like any other motorsport activity, but this guy Dale P. Danielski sure seems like he simply out-drove a number of his Eric Huenefeld competitors. The home town team of Hentges racing, Kris Peterson Jason Searcy lead by Kody Kamm, gave it their best shot (maybe Dean Reller Dan Plan even an elbow or two) to keep up.
