Racing the Range



video

BILLY ENGELSTAD (L) and JOHN GARGANO (R), movers and shakers of the Iron Range Racing Association, WISSOTA-sanctioned races at Hibbing (MN) Raceway, lost just their second race event to rain June 28. Before the rain came, we visited with them and bring you this vignette of the St Louis County Fairgrounds track located near the World's largest open-pit iron mine. Hibbing has faired better than its neighbors to east at Proctor (MN) Speedway and Superior (WI) Speedway, where, at both tracks, rain has cancelled seven of ten scheduled events.
