The races include the Gogebic County Fair, Iron County Fair, Ashland County Fair, the Besse- mer Fourth of July, Butternut Pio- neer Days and the Glidden Labor Day Fair, he said. “Most everybody who races with us races all year at six to seven events,” Olkonen said. At the Gogebic County Fair this year, Amber Hunstad won in the Class 2 Street; Dusty Barland won in the Class 4 Pro Stock and Class 3 Super categories; Katrina Crom won the Class 5 Women’s races and Keith Tippett won the Class 6 Modified. “This fair went really well,” Olkomen said.
