2007 Sprint Kart Speedway Awards Banquet

The 2007 Sprint Kart Speedway Awards Banquet was held Friday night October 19th at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport. We had 129 drivers, family, friends and fans turn out for another great night.

Mark Yeager was the entertainer who did walk around magic and a stage show after dinner before the awards were handed out. As always Mark amazed the people and did a great job.

Promoter Steve "Spider" Duffy first recognized his track staff, George and Corolene Clausen and Mike Clausen, Fred Williams and Tony Franklin. Without these folks who are very dedicated to the track and are a very important key in keeping things running smooth all year long.

Jeff's Market catered the event and supplied great food.

As always there were plenty of door prizes handed out after the awards and everyone took plenty home.
