Recommended Posts

Shady Oaks Speedway will be following the Street Stock Shootout rules for 2015. This set of rules will be used at all the tracks involved with the Street Stock Shootout. Drivers have asked for a consistant set of rules for the tracks in the area and this is a big step in that direction. Thanks to the STxSSS group for making this happen.
