"#20 Stock Class Driver Mike Wetrich Retires and is Selling Out!!!"
Mike Wetrich from the Adel/Desota area is a former Stock Class driver of the #20 car that has raced at the Dallas County Fairgrounds figure 8 track over the years. He is also the brother of Steve Wetrich driver of the #12 Open Class car from Primghar, Iowa. Mike is getting out of racing. Finally after 21 years in the racing/demo world. He is gonna hang his hat. And do what? Well, the kids are all grown and gone, so he and the misses will be getting a boat and spending the weekends on the water. It has been a lot of fun. But this fun is gonna end, just in time to start some more fun. Look forward to watching and hearing about all his fellow racers.

1978 Oldsmobile 88 with a strong running 350. Pulled off the road just last summer
due to a break problem. Car is complete with minimal rust. Asking just $550
OBO.
1976 Oldsmobile 98 with a running 350. Very solid car was brought in on a repo, so
I do not know much about it. I was told it was running when it was parked
last spring. Asking $550 OBO.
Also have two previously raced FWD. First is a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 two door. Complete hoop with rear kickers; welded solid and raced last year. The bad is that a
motor mount broke and slipped an axle. This car has five A Feature wins in
2007 alone, was the blue and silver #6 car raced in Audubon, Coon Rapids, and
Denison. Front end very solid, body rough, by far the fastest car I have ever
built!!! Still has races left in it. Asking $250, it will crush for $200.
Second FWD is a 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva. This car was ran in Jefferson twice, Audubon, and Denison, it is the red #6 with flames on hood and fenders. Same set up as first car. Very quick car; the front end is in need of some help and rear
spindle bent, but was raced this way and won two features. ASking $250 OBO
All cars are located in the Audubon, IA area.
