Just one week ago, the buzz rippling through the racing community was how the racing weekend had been snowed out! This week, however, the weather cooperated and track crew at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY whipped the banked 1/3-Mile dark clay oval into a fast and smooth jewel that had racers flirting with early season track record lap times.

The fact that the previous week's on-track action had been snowed out was, indeed, a big deal as 2013 is the second season for a 'progression bonus' guarantee. So WISSOTA Super Stock drivers were racing for an opportunity to cash in on a portion of the combined $700 worth of bonus money ($400 for the winner, $200 for second & $100 for third) at the end of Friday night's Coordinated Business Systems WISSOTA Super Stock feature . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is proud to welcome Tri Star Engines and Transmissions on board as a M.T.S. Event Sponsor for the 2013 season! Tri Star Engines and Transmissions, located in Baldwin, WI, is jumping on board as the Title Sponsor of the May 3rd USMTS program at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY.

To make the event promotion special, Tri Star Engines and Transmissions has taken a unique approach to their support agreement . . . not only will they be involved in the May 3rd USMTS program, not only will they be on-board as a 2013 MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY Sponsor, but they've also decided to get the fans involved. On Friday night May 3rd, during the USMTS Special, they will be donating a complete "Brand NEW Tri Star 350 cu.in. Crate Engine" to the evening's 50/50 drawing . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is ready, once again, to show the racers the money!!

Jack Baehman, of Baehman Law, a longtime supporter of MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY and the (newly sponsored) Black Horse Bar & Grill USRA B-Mod division, is once again stepping up to the pay window for the 2013 racing season with a significant contribution to the weekly USRA B-Mod purse payout. Additionally, Jack will sponsor the Baehman Law B-Mod Challenge (July 19th) - the FIFTH annual running of the event - paying a minimum of $1000.00 to the winner. And Jack has already agreed to return as the title sponsor of the 2nd Annual Baehman Law B Mod Nationals (September 4th-7th) which pays a record setting $10,000.00 to the event winner!

Super Stock drivers also have purse enhancements to look forward to in 2013. Jay Oricchio, Coordinated Business Systems and J-Mev Motor Sports will once again be contributing $200.00 a week in 2013 to the Feature winner of the WISSOTA Super Stock division! And for 2013, Jeff Brauer (Brauer Roofing Inc.). Brauer Roofing will be adding $100.00 to the 2nd place finisher's take home pay and another $50.00 to the 3rd place finisher's winnings! All three of these bonuses following the 'roll-over' scenario with the money rolling over and doubling the next week in the event of a rainout . . .

The Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA B-Mods will be part of the program when the USMTS Modifieds visit MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY on Friday, May 3.

A large field of cars is expected at the track which hosted last September’s record-setting $10,000-to-win Baehman Law B-Mod Nationals that featured more than 150 entrants ...

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is already excitedly looking forward to the up-coming 2013 'FIFTH ANNIVERSARY SEASON' at the West-Central Wisconsin Dirt Track. In taking initial steps for the up-coming season, Speedway owners are beginning to establish and release a tentative schedule for the up coming racing season . . .

APRIL 23rd UPDATE: Added Coordinated Business Systems WISSOTA Super Stocks to May 3rd Event.
APRIL 3rd UPDATE: Practice rescheduled for Wednesday April 24th with a 'rain date' of Thursday April 25th.

Race fans will have to wait just a little bit longer to finally see all the new hardware for the 2013 racing season as MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY has decided to reschedule the 2013 car show for Saturday April 20th.

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY Owner Bob Timm explained, "to be honest, it is just soo cold yet . . . I think we'll kind of loose the racing feeling if we're all standing around in snow suits". While joking a bit about the cold weather that still has the area in its grips, Timm continued a bit more seriously, "I do feel, though, that if I wait until it warms up a bit we will get more people stopping in. And with the new date being only a single weekend before our scheduled season opener, I think we can build a bunch of hype and excitement at this year's car show and carry that fan involvement right through the following week and into our season opener on the 26th. . . .

MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is happy to announce the official release of the 2013 rules package for "The Elmer's Auto Salvage M.T.S. Pure Stock" division. "We have had several rule changes in mind for 2013", said MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY owner Bob Timm, "Our goals with the latest updates were to maintain affordability while addressing those issues our drivers had brought up during our innagural season of Pure Stock racing in 2012 . . .

MARCH 20th UPDATE: NO POWERGLIDES.
MARCH 27th UPDATE: Stock Power Glides will be allowed.(weight penalty for use of Power Glide Transmission may be imposed).

Special pricing structures are being implemented for the 2012 racing season to help race fans at both the general admission grandstand ticket gate AND at the pit gate.

"One of our main goals here at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY, ever since the very first days of our ownership, has been to make this a 'Family Friendly Destination'. We are obviously huge race fans", said Bob Timm, while discussing the new pricing options, "but we also have families. We understand what the economy is like right now, and we want the race fans to know that we are keeping them in mind when we invite them to come to MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY to enjoy some great dirt-track racing on a Friday night."

For regular weekly racing programs throughout the 2012 season, MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is introducing the "MTS Family Pass" and "Family Friendly Pit Pricing" . . .
