Winged Outlaw Modifieds Return to Cedar Lake Speedway
(1/23/2009 New Richmond, WI) Cedar Lake Speedway is proud to announce that 2009 brings the return of Winged Outlaw Modifieds to the legendary track. Plans are in place to showcase this unique class four times throughout the upcoming season. Originally debuted in 1984 these cars were the most exciting class at the Cedar Lake Speedway at the time. Winged Outlaw Modifieds were unique to Cedar Lake and sported full sized sprint car wings above the roof and nose wings mounted to the front bumper. During their tenure at the track they boasted high car counts, ultra competitive racing and lap times faster than the late models of their era. 1991 was the last year of the class as they were replaced by the current non-winged modified class at the track the following year.
Cedar Lake Speedway hopes to recreate the same excitement this class brought to the track during the late 80’s. Several drivers have shown interest in fielding a car and the track is actively pursuing more drivers to participate. Drivers will utilize the current Cedar Lake Speedway modified rules and can use any standard sprint car wing along with nose wing. Hydraulic cockpit wing adjusters are not allowed.
May 16th marks the first time in 17 years these cars will turn a lap on the legendary 3/8 mile speed mill. This date will allow drivers the opportunity to test & tune their car during one of the first 3 practice sessions scheduled for Thursday evenings. That night is also Cedar Lake’s annual School Bus event. This has become one of the “don’t miss” events as area schools customize a bus and race it for bragging rights. Thursday’s June 18th & July 30th will include the Winged Outlaw Modifieds as they are added to the preliminary nights of the Masters & USA Nationals. With many out of town fans in attendance Cedar Lake hopes to thrill the crowd with a car most have never seen. Saturday, August 22nd is the last Winged Mod show as Cedar Lake appreciates all their fans with a full race program and free corn on the cob. More details coming soon…
The Winged Outlaw Modifieds ran at Cedar Lake Speedway from 1984 thru 1991.
