Punch cards can be filled to get free admission to pits, grandstands
DONNELLSON, IA (Jan. 18, 2012) – The new ownership at Lee County Speedway continues to look for ways to give back to drivers, crews and fans as it works toward the 2012 racing season.

The latest program will give fans and crew members the opportunity to get free passes for their loyalty to the speedway.

Each fan that comes to the grandstands at Lee County Speedway will have the opportunity to purchase a $1 punch card. Each time, including the night of purchase, the card will be punched. After nine punches the 10^th night is free. If that next week is a special event, the value of the card is $9, but if it is a regular race night it means free entry into the grandstands.

All drivers have opportunity to take advantage of new agreement
DONNELLSON, IA (Jan. 16, 2011) – The 2012 season will see Lee County Speedway and 34 Raceway work together to provide drivers, fans and crews the best racing possible in southeast Iowa and the first step of that effort comes with an agreement to offer incentives to each track’s weekly drivers.

Each track will offer its own bonus to drivers! If a driver competes in six straight races for their respective class they will get a free pit pass for them to use the seventh week. That pass will only be good for the seventh consecutive week. If at any point the string of weeks is broken or the pass is not used, the count will start over and the driver will need six straight weeks to earn the bonus.

As a pair, LCS and 34 Raceway have offered another bonus for drivers who compete at both tracks on a weekly basis. For those drivers, if they compete at four consecutive class events at each track they will receive a free pass from each track for the next scheduled event.

Please note there will be electricity in the booths but they will not be supplied with heat. However, fans are welcome to bring their own electric heaters. The heater must be cleared by LCS staff before use. A maximum of 10 people per booth, do to size regulations.

The booths will be sold/rented on a first come first serve basis, so call early to get yours today.

DONNELLSON, Iowa – Questions have been raised about the rule package that has been adopted for the “Break Ice not Hearts 50,” hopefully this new release will clear up some of those questions.

IMCA rules will be used as a base set of rules. Car types that are legal in sport compact rules are legal. Other none performance based rules will not be enforced.

Focus points for the event will include tires no wider than 60 series (no other restrictions) and no variable valve timing. Otherwise if your car’s powerplant falls with the rules the car will be considered legal.

Questions have also been brought up about OEM bodies. Since these are not performance enhancing items the rules pertaining to them will not be enforced. Also, after market radiators will be allowed.

Some of our local cars ran a aftermarket header last year and may not have began work for the 2012 season. Therefore cars that qualified in that regard under the 2011 LCS rulebook will be considered legal for this event.

It is important also to point out that full saftey gear is required including a suitable rollcage as well as basic personal safety equipment. These items will be checked and cars not deemed safe by on site technical personnel will not be allowed to compete.

Again if there are any questions or if there are any doubts about your car being legal please contact Dewain at 309-331-3804 or by email at promoter@leecountyspeedway.com.

DONNELLSON, Iowa – Registration is open now for the “Break Ice not Hearts 50″ at Lee County Speedway. The registration cost is $50 and does not include a driver pit pass, but remember pit passes will be only $10.
