Fall Festival

& “Got Milk” Fall Nationals   

The got milk? Fall Nationals began in 2003 as the Fall Classic.  It was stared by a small but dedicated group of friends as a fundraiser for our Community Center.  As race fans they decided to have an event to raise money to do what they loved not just try to sell something.

The First race had two classes and twenty eight karts.  In 2004 we had 3 cars from the state of California, including Jessica Helberg.  She set the track record that still stands today.

After the success of 2004 the Midwest Dairy Association and got milk? Came on board as title sponsor, Hiland Dairy came on as an associated sponsor, as well as many other local sponsors.  The got milk? Fall Nationals was born.  With the increase in purse came an increase in karts.   In 2005 Nick Demoss from Knoxville, Iowa took the money in the wildest finish to date.  

In 2006 a young man named Mason Moore from Princeton, California showed everyone the first way all weekend in two separate classes, winning both.  In 2007 we added another well known sponsor in O’Relly Automotive, with a record purse and 81 karts many people believed we had our best race ever.  Gary Brown from Missoula, Montana rode away with the cash.

 In 2007, the races brought in 85 drivers from four states, as well as drivers from our hometown.  This dirt track hosts one of the most thrilling shows on the Outlaw Sprint Kart circuit.  The Fall National Race is sponsored by Hiland Dairy & O’Reilly Auto Parts.
