Storms Wipe Out LaCrosse Races!
By David Morgan

May 10, 2003;  West Salem, WI -  Intermittent showers during the day, followed by heavy storms on the way, forced officials of the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway to cancel the racing program partway through the United Auto Supply Thunderstox heat races. Earlier showers had halted Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model quailifying, so the only official complete event was the qualifying for the Ray Hutson Grand National Sportsman drivers.

Action will continue next Saturday night, as the School Bus Race joins the three divisions of racing action.
