What would be the Last Drag Race, operated by the Oahe Racers Association, Inc.,
occured on Sunday, September 6, 2020.  The last scheduled race of the 2020
Championship Season, Monday September 7, would fall to a rain-out.  It is
interesting to note that the Speedway was able to run the entire 2020 schedule
with only Memorial Day Monday and Labor Day Monday cancelled due to inclement
weather.

The Final Race Day Winners:

Dale’s Repair Super Pro – Richard Ripley, Rush City, MN
Watty’s Garage Pro ET – Trevor Harry, Groton, SD

Following all the class finals, in the last Test and Tune session of the day,

NHRA Brainerd Nationals
Stock/Super Stock Eliminator Champion

Jack and his family attended many of
Oahe Speedway’s events thru the years.
Starting out in the Junior Drag Racing League ranks,
Jack would go on to a seat in a pretty potent ’92 Olds
formerly campaigned by the late Mark Mandery.
Jack plowed through 6 rounds of tough competition to
take his 75th NHRA Anniversary Diamond Wally back home to
Watertown, SD.
