Tipton, Iowa (August 14, 1986) – Al Frieden of Swisher, Iowa, announced this week that he will no longer promote racing at the Cedar County Raceway in Tipon, and that equipment he owned has been sold to Bob Henry of Cedar Rapids.
Henry will begin promoting races at the quarter-mile dirt oval beginning Sunday night.
The Cedar County facility had been vacant for a few years when Frieden re-opened it about five years ago.
“I’d like to thank all the fans who supported us while we’ve been promoting races at Tipton,” Frieden said. “The fans and drivers have been good to us, but we have sold in order to pursue other interests on Sunday nights.”
Frieden will continue to promote races at Hawkeye Down in Cedar Rapids and at the West Liberty Fairgrounds on Saturday nights.
Henry announced this week that the same classes will continue running – late model, IMCA modifieds, street stocks and bombers – and that the weekly purse will remain the same.
