GRAND FORKS, ND (April 27) – 222 days…That’s how long us race fans have had to wait for the River Cities Speedway racing season to fire back up since the last checkered flag of 2015 flew back on September 18th. John Halvorson went for a vicious tumble Friday night during the preseason Test N Tune. It was thought that something broke on Halvorson's #35 machine, which got the car out of shape entering turn one and sent it into a nasty barrel roll. Thankfully, John was reported to be uninjured.
