Looking Back: Lynde 500

2005...Also known as the year of "the wheels they went a'flyin'"


The Lynde moved back to Labor Day which has been its permanent home since.

The "Tunnel of Doom" was added and the race track was lengthened considerably. The track, which had previously been contained to the parking lot, was extended into 4th Street.

The kart wheels seemed to have a mind of their own this year and started flying off. Racers went through an estimated 40 extra wheels (front and back)! It was intense and kept the race interesting!

Just a little crash...it happens. They jump up and are back at it!
