Brooklyn Raceway "The Figure Eight Capital of the World"
BY: Archie and Sally Kuntz
BROOKLYN, IOWA (May 29) - As
the hot drying sun started to set Sat. night at the Brooklyn Raceway the
crowd started pouring through the front gate like water into a funnel. The
track caretakers said the sun and wind kept trying to dry the track out.
They dumped 24,000 gallons of water on the track to keep the dust down. It
was a little slippery for hot-laps and some of the heats but time the Mains
came around the track was almost perfect.
85 race teams from 3 states gave the crowd what they wanted to see, which
was some of the top outlaw Open Class Figure 8 cars racing for points in the
"Extreme Dirt Racing Series." It proved to be a fast night on the oval track
as well. The Front Wheel drives had very tight racing all night.
Next the crazy two Man Cruisers just seem to amaze the crowd each week with
the speed they are racing. The Legend cars were back at Brooklyn this week
with some of the most position changes in their main as anytime ever.
