We thought it only fitting to host our 2018 Awards Banquet celebrating 50 years of Racing at the traditional Moose Hall in Wetaskiwin. It was a great night with lots of visiting, great 1968 dress attire and tons of fun dancing with the young and “older”!

Special Announcements from EIR included the development of new Late Model Test Drive Cars for EIR’s 2019 Stock Car Test Drive Program & Gary Hartl from Bayer International announced that BAYER would once again sponsor the 2019 NASCAR Pinty’s Series Race on July 27, 2019 with the LUXXUR 300!

Loretta closed the evening speeches by thanking everyone for being with herself and Ron every step of the way in the successes of Edmonton Int’l Raceway in Wetaskiwin. Everyone works so hard all year and I want you all to know we totally appreciate and value every one of you! Our little raceway continues to blossom and every year we see new and exciting changes. We will be working very
hard over the winter to create an exciting 2019 Race Season. We are pleased to announce that the Super Late Models will run 4 events in total at EIR including another major event near the end of August. We will continue to meet with our race classes to ensure the car counts are strong and sustainable in 2019. A quick reminder, our next meeting is with the Thunder Cars and Feature Stock on
Sunday, November 11th at 2 pm. Ron will be very busy this winter building our new Test Drive Cars. This program is truly the bread and butter of EIR. With the new Late Model Style Cars we will attract even more new people to EIR and wow them with our excellent race program which will continue to build our Fan base even bigger! There is a lot of excitement out there now for test drives in
our new Late Model Cars!
We look forward to continually building our relationship with both the County and City of Wetaskiwin and we truly appreciate their partnerships as we move into a very exciting future.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and healthy and happy NEW YEAR to everyone!
