A special thank you to Lakota Dairy Queen, TJB Construction. Owner Travis Bachmeier, Millenium Chassis / SRT Specialties, and the Devils Lake Speedway for all your help in making this Golden Hammer Classic a success!
Also, thank you to Nate Reynolds, Chase Slama, Jory Berg, Cole/Eric/Mike Haugland Haugland Racing, Tanner Armstrong, Austin Hunter, Logan Salazar, Trey Hess, and Randy Thompson for donating various sizes of kids’ bikes. They sure were a hit! Also, thank you to Cousin Farms for the $100 kids cash prize.
Thank you to Jen Slama (Kenzie, Aubrey, Callen, Aiden) and Charlie for helping with the bike raffle and setting up t-shirts/hoodies in our trailer. Also, thank you to Kayla Morten for helping sell clothing with Missy in the trailer. Everyone’s help was so greatly appreciated!
Thank you to the KEM Shrine Shriners for coming and participating in the national anthem. We raced with heavy hearts after what transpired on Friday in Fargo, and words cannot be expressed for the wonderful tribute by Seth Klostreich and Gunnar for the fallen Fargo PD officer Jake Wallin during the anthem. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends, and loved ones affected by this tragedy.
A big thank you to everyone that came out to watch another fun night of racing. The racers put on a great show, even though Mother Nature cut the Midwest Mod short.
As a reminder, the 5th Annual Golden Hammer NLRA Late Model Classic has been re-scheduled for August 19th. We will be selling t-shirts and hoodies that day with all proceeds going towards Kem Shriners.
