LUXEMBURG SPEEDWAY PROMOTERS, KEWAUNEE COUNTY COME TO TERMS By Joe Verdegan

January 27, 2005; Luxemburg, WI. - The promoters of Luxemburg Speedway's weekly, Friday night program and a Kewaunee county committee have agreed to terms for renting the fairgrounds in 2005.

Late last year the Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation Committee had proposed a per-event rent increase of $275 per night for use of the grounds. Track operators Lakeshore Motorsports Promotions flatly rejected the proposed increase. On Monday, January 24 the committee backed off on it's earlier demands and agreed to keep the rental agreement of $1,600 per evening the same. The committee's vote was unanimous.

"We're very relieved to say the least," said track manager Rick Goral. "Once the committee realized that as track promoters we're already paying the highest rent in the area I think it opened their eyes a little bit. We'reconfident we can work together in a cooperative effort with our county leaders from this day forward."

Lakeshore's rental agreement also includes a $1.00 ticket surcharge on all adult tickets. By agreeing to terms both parties avoided going to arbitration, which county Promotions and Recreation Director Mark Kanz said would have been a "lose-lose situation."

Goral expects to have the season schedule finalized within the next few weeks. Among the special events already penciled in are a pair of Wisconsin Dirt Late Model Association (WDLMA) late models shows June 10 and July 10, the fourth annual Luxemburg Legends night featuring the Wisconsin Vintage Modified Series August 5 and five street stock specials as well. Other touring series featuring different divisions are likely to be included in the final schedule as well.

The season opener at the third-mile, clay oval will be Friday night, April 29 at 7 p.m. IMCA modifieds, IMCA stock cars, IMCA hobby stocks and sport fours will compete weekly. For more information call 920 863 8446.
