The Freedom Cup is almost here and it's gonna be huge weekend of racing here at Cottage Grove Speedway for the Sportmods, Mohawk Metal Modifieds, and Todd's Auto Body Sprints!
The pit gate will open Thursday at 11am, we will be parking trailers so please do not pull into the pits until our staff has instructed you to do so. We are expecting a great car count in all 3 classes and pit parking can be an issue with our limited space so please plan on getting here early to ensure you have a spot in the pits, we will have overflow pit parking available if needed. Pit meeting will be at 4pm each day and is mandatory for all drivers and crews. Please remember we do not have room for any additional vehicles in the pits, if it is not towing your race trailer it will need to be parked in the parking lot. You are welcome to leave your trailer in the pits each night and if your tow vehicle is also your motel on wheels you are more than welcome to stay in the pits, if you have additional campers/motor homes/etc there is camping available next door at the fairgrounds, the phone number to make a reservation is 541-942-6150.
The racetrack will have a great 4th of July Firework Display on Thursday night, please respect this facility and do NOT bring any illegal fireworks with you. Anyone caught with them will be immediately removed from the facility and not allowed back for a minimum of 2 weeks as well as be fined.
This 3-day weekend will have a fun and unique format that we are sure will provide some great racing!
