Big Country Speedway 2016 Season Champions- Banquet Fun


The 2016 Season came to a close with the Big Country Speedway Banquet on October 22nd at The Cheyenne Moose Lodge. Sponsors teamed up to help out a struggling club to ensure the Drivers, Fans as well as the Wyoming Auto Racing Club Lifetime and Hall of Fame Members had the opportunity to celebrate the Racing Season.

Body By Dean owned by Dean Wich, himself a WARC Lifetime Member Sponsored meal cost for Lifetime & Hall of Fame Members of the Wyoming Auto Racing Club (WARC) wanting to ensure that each and every one knew they were honored and appreciated.

Dougs Towing and On Edge Promotions jumped in to ensure there were trophies and awards for the Champions

and other place winners for the season. Thank you to Mike Smith for also helping out by creating trophies for some extra special sponsors as well as our Rookie's of The Year. An additional item was in store for the Champions this year as well, a Championship Ring! From the amazing feedback it looks like Championship Rings just may need to become a new tradition. Airgas and Fantastic Sams sponsored with some awesome prizes for the Champions as well.

The Cheyenne Moose Lodge was once again gracious and kind enough to come to the rescue as well. On extremely short notice they allowed us to host our Awards Banquet free of charge for the most part. Banquet Sponsors purchased the required special insurance for the night. The Moose also already had a band, Randy Burghardt scheduled for the nights entertainment.

All Banquet goers had do was order their dinner at the lowest dinner cost in recent history and pay the $5 cover that was in place that evening for Moose Members wanting to enjoy the band. WOW, what a deal and we are most appreciative to the Moose for making it possible for a Banquet to happen!

There were also Raffle Prizes Galore....donated by sponsors and friends of the Speedway!
