Hi!
Just wanted to let you all know that I am temporarily unable to update the
Whiskey Lake Raceway website, The computer that has all the web files on it has
blown the power supply so I will unable to update the website for now. I expect
it to be back online soon. Thank you for your understanding.

This Friday August 14th will be our final night of racing for the 2009 season. 
We at Whiskey Lake Raceway as always wish to express our appreciation at your
continued support and look forward to seeing you again in 2010!


Any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime at guyz@... or you can
call the Whiskey Lake Raceway Hotline at 785-238-2300

Thank you, -=Guy=-

Hiyaz fellow race fans!!!

Just wanted to welcome all the new members to the Whiskey Lake Raceway
Yahoo Group!!  Thank you for your continued support.
I also wanted to let those of you who hadn't checked the pictures
section here, that I have been adding pictures from each week.  I know
there isn't that many and the quality is far from perfect, but I am
working on fixing that hopefully soon.

I also wanted to let all of you know that each of you are able to add
your own pics to these albums. After all they belong to all of you. If
you have any pictures you may want to share, by all means please do.

All I ask is that they be appropiate for a family based site, and not be
derogatory, vulgar or hurtful to others. Those photos will be removed
immediately and if neccessary, appropiate action will be taken I.E.
banning user/deleting membership, contacting users isp or even the
authorities.

Anyway, That's all I have for now, please check out the newest pictures
if you haven't seen them already on the WLR website.

You all please stay cool and out of the hot sun and we'll see YOU at the
races!!!

Hello Everybody!!!

Just wanted to wish every one a safe and Happy Halloween!!

I hope all the little kids (And the big kids too) have a blast!!!
Halloween was my favorite holiday for a lotta years and now sadly it's
gotten to be that people are scared to even go out and trick or
treat....  I used to go all out and decorate my house with all kinds
of scary and fun decorations including things like flashing colored
lights, and fog machines, and had scary sounds playing nonstop from
hidden speakers, We all dressed up in great costumes, and you don't
even wanna know how much candy and great treats I used to give out
each Halloween!!! We always had so much fun!  I really miss those
times a lot

Sadly though, the last 4 years I have only had a total of about 10
kids even come to my door and last year I didn't even have a single
trick or treater at all :(  I have slowly reduced my enthuseasm until
this year I have decided to not do anything at all.  A sign of the
times I guess, but it still saddens me quite a bit.

Anyway if any of you end up doing something fun this year, please take
a few pics and share them with all of us here if you would please.  I
know I would enjoy seeing and hearing about what you all do for
Halloween and I'm sure the rest of us would too!!!  I'm going to
create a Halloween Photo Album in the photos section here and if
anybody has any pics to add to it, they would be very welcome I'm
sure!!  Also if you have a funny story about one of your Halloween
adventures maybe you could post that here as a group message as well
for all of us to enjoy.

I wish all of you a very safe, fun and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Hello to all our Whiskey Lake Raceway Yahoo Groups Members!!

For those of you who didn't know it, we had CBS news drop by Whiskey
Lake Raceway last Friday morning!!!

They were there doing a cross-country special on how the recent high
gas prices is affecting americans called: "Eye On The Road".

Here is a link to the special, if you scroll down you can see the
video that was broadcast ive Friday morning from the track including a
short comment made by Doug Thompson.

earch_story

Also don't forget that Whiskey Lake Raceway is having a Chamber of
Commerce ribbon cutting night on May 30th kicking off a "Sports
Spectacular Weekend" with Free BBQ and a color guard ceremony and a
U.S. Army marching band. This will also be our URSS 305 Sprints
opening race, and they are expected to be there in high numbers - They
will race along with our regular classes including the B-Mods!!

Also we have had a film crew at the track to shoot scenes for an
upcoming movie to be released sometime later this year called: "Can We
Talk?".

They have been at the track shooting a 22 minute segment for the film
involving car racing scenes, winners circle, and pit sequences, and
on the 30th they will be back to finish up shooting with the
spectator/crowd scenes. Come on out and join the fun - You could
actually be in the movie!!!

On Saturday the 31st of May, we will also open up the track to our
first time ever QUADS only event.  There should be some great racing
with the ever popular and exciting Quads - come on out and bring your
friends for some great Quad racing!

Gates open at 5pm and racing starts at 7pm

Thank you all for supporting Whiskey Lake Raceway - Spread the word!!!

We'll see you at the races!!!

I'm very sorry to have to say this but the races scheduled for Friday
May 02nd are canceled.... again....  Roger has made the decision that
we are still not ready to begin our season.  I know this will upset
many of you and for that I am sorry.  We just have a lot of things to
do to be able to put on a good show, and between the weather in the
past few weeks and the problem of some of the dirt equipment not being
available, as well as a delay in recieving our necessary concesssion
equipment and stock, we just cannot open and put on a quality show at
this time for the fans or the racers.

We have contacted the people involved with the delays and they assure
us we can be ready by next Friday, May 9th. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed.

We will also have to cancel the URSS opening night races until May
30th and I apologize for that.  We have been contracted to film
segment shots for a movie to be filmed at Whiskey Lake for the next
two weekends and they require B-Mods for their shoot.  URSS will begin
their schedule on May 30th.  I hope you will understand.

I know it must seem as we are never going to start our 2008 season,
but we are trying to do the right thing and not open before we are
ready and risk putting on a bad show for everybody.  Please be patient
and rest assured I want to go racing as badly as you all do.

Once again I apologize for all these delays and confusion.

Thank you, -=Guy=-

Well once again we are unable to get the track dirt work done due to
rain...  You guessed it, rained out again.  So opening night will now
be Friday May 2nd.

Gates open at 5pm
Races start at 7pm.
B-Mods and other regular classes. No URSS

If anybody has any pull with the higher ups please put in a good word
for us all and ask for nice sunny weather please... :)

See you next week!!

-=Guy=-

Hello everybody!
Well Mother Nature again decided to throw us some more rain, so due to
the track being flooded -AGAIN- We must sadly cancel Playday.

We will now just move into the first night of racing on the 25th of
April.  Please get there as early as possible to get your car/driver
registered.  Due to this we will open the gates 1 hour early at 4pm

I understand this will cause some frustration to everybody and we at
Whiskey Lake Raceway apologize for this.

URSS drivers can register on their first day of racing which is the
9th of May. Gates will open regular time at 5pm

Thank you for your understanding, -=Guy=-

We have decided to start off the season with the B-Mods and support
classes and NOT the URSS 305 Sprints as previously scheduled for April
25th.  We will run the first two weekends events with B-Mods on Friday
April 25th as our season opener and again the next week Friday, May
02. Then we will begin alternating weekends with the URSS 305 Sprints
and the B-Mods as originally scheduled.

Thank you for you understanding, -=Guy=-

Just wanted to let you all know that Playday, (Registration, Test &
Tune) scheduled for April 13th has been postponed one week due to bad
weather.  We will hold Playday on Sunday, April 20th at 2 PM

Opening night races scheduled for Friday, April 18th will also be
postponed one week as well.  We are now scheduled to hold our first
race (Season Opener) on Friday, April 25th.

Gates open @ 5 PM Races start @ 7PM

At this time I have not received word on whether we will start off
with B-Mods or URSS 305 Sprints as previously scheduled for the 25th.
I will let you all know as soon as I can find out from Roger,
hopefully tomorrow.

We at Whiskey Lake Raceway are sorry if this causes any inconveniences
to you, but we would prefer to have sufficient time weather wise so
that we may properly prepare the track surface for the best and safest
racing possible.  Hopefully Mother nature will co-operate and sunny
skies and warmer nights will arrive soon!

Thank you for your understanding, any questions please feel free to
contact me anytime.
