Three big nights to end the season are on tap this weekend at two of Northern Iowa's hottest dirt tracks—the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway and Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City—this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 20-22.
Friday night will be the Your Life Iowa Five Star Classic presented by Canadian Pacific at the North Iowa Action Track in Mason City, and will feature six classes in action. Hot laps will kick off at 6:30 p.m. with racing to follow.
This event was originally scheduled to be a two-day event last weekend but Mother Nature had other plans and dumped more than 1.5 inches at the Mason City Motor Speedway.
On Saturday and Sunday, the 21st Annual Your Life Iowa Fall Futurity takes place at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City with racing getting underway at 6 p.m. on Saturday and one hour earlier on Sunday.
All three nights will feature SLMR Late Models, USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks. Outlaw Mini Mods compete on Friday in Mason city and USRA Tuners are slated to race Saturday in Webster City.

Fans and drivers will notice some changes have been made at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway. The changes will make for better racing all around and the bottom of the track will definitely will be even with the top. Four light poles were moved, as well as some intakes to make the corners wider coming out of turns two and four.
Another huge change is the removal of some signs on the front-stretch that will make the whole track visible from the grandstands. If you joined us at the last race, you would have seen some great four-wide action by the Late Models with very few blind spots.
