staff have seemed to improve on
        what was already one of the nation’s
        best Fuel Altered events. Whether
        it’s something in the air or just the
        allure of racing in the cornfields of
        Iowa, they always seem to attract
        the best from across the Country.
        If full 1/8th mile burn outs, the
        crackling and popping sound of
        nitromethane burning monsters
        interest you, then this is a must-see
        event.

          The WFAN weekend of August         A Class Winner Jody Austin – Bushwhacker
        21st and 22nd is not limited to just
        the pro show. They also host a
        typical weekend show as well so
        you can expect to see Top ET &
        Modified, Ozark Mountain Super
        Shifters and Nostalgia classes. This
        event is always a full house and
        cars were on track as early as 8:00
        Saturday morning after a late night
        of qualifying Friday night.  The
        biggest and brightest stars of the
        Fuel Altered World come to Iowa
        and put on the most incredible show
        a race fan could ask for.

          Scott and Peggy Gaulter, owners
        of the Nitro Madness car are a very
        big part of the success story of the   B Class Winner “Rocketman” Robbie Freels
        WFAN event. Scott on his own time
        reaches out and typically calls over
        100 potential sponsors. This can
        be very time consuming and often
        thankless job. Money and support
        are collected and sent to track
        owner for coverage of the event.
        Scott dedicates his time and energy
        and takes nothing other than a
        thank you in return.  Gaulter’s team
        runs like a well-oiled machine since
        seating Roger “Radar” Lechtenberg
        as their driver in 2014. Nearly every
        Sunday the entire team meets at the
        shop to prep for their next outing.
