The real deal happens on Thursday, with a complete program of O’Reilly USMTS Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks and Hornets. A field of 24 cars will start the O’Reilly USMTS main event, which carries a $2,000 top prize and $250 to start. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 and races begin at 6 p.m.

Friday's menu will kick off with the annual golf tournament in the morning, followed by a second night of screaming on-track action. The O’Reilly USMTS Modifieds will again have a 24-car feature field, with the winner's share of the purse doubled to $4,000 and $300 going to each driver making the big show. WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds will also be on the card as they race for $500 to win and $50 to start. Fans, drivers, crews and families will put a lid on Friday's festivities with the annual Karaoke Night ... open to everybody. Pit gates open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 and races begin at 6 p.m.

Saturday's big finale will feature the hottest Modified pilots in the nation battling for a spot in the 8th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree's O’Reilly USMTS main event.
