Jim Falls WI – The 2006 auto racing season at the Eagle Valley Speedway began on April 13th when the first of two practice sessions saw approximately fifty race cars and drivers shake off the cobwebs from the off season and test out new or improved equipment in preparation for the season opener at the Chippewa County oval. After another practice session on April 20th , the season opener is slated for Sunday night, April 23rd with the first green flag to drop at 6 p.m.
