The late model division this year was a bit of an unknown at the start of the year. Combining the old FASTRAK class and the former WISSOTA division into one class was questioned by some racers and fans alike.

Mielke busy place for next few months
We participated in our first classic car show last week. My husband bought a 1976 four-door hardtop Cadillac, which just fits into our garage (it’s l-o-n-g). We also have a 1989 Cadillac Brougham, which I actually like better, but it’s not my hobby. Anyway, we are a garage stall short, so the ‘89 Caddy has to go. We took it to the car show to display it and hopefully find a buyer.
