Things aren’t coming together for the WIR race. we cant get dry enough clay and other big issues with track building and weather are arising. We will run the WIR race in the fall for 2024 so we don’t run into these issues again. An updated 2023 schedule should be out by the end of next week. This is a actual picture from our clay pit.

PRESS RELEASE
3/01/2023

SODA’s introducing a new GOB class with full size trucks on tank tracks. Interest in this class is hot and a couple have already been built. This new class will run at the same time as the current GOB car class and the cars will get a head start. SODA will be removing all the jumps from all the SODA tracks and will use the GOB cars as jumps by ramming them from behind when in pursuit. Thru a new awesome sponsorship program with the government of Kazakhstan, racers who sign away their citizenship will receive a free decommissioned tank. Check out https://www.soda-offroad.com/ or http://kazakhstantrucktank.com/ for more info.

BREAKING NEWS!!

Alan McMillen is a long time Offroad Racer with deep roots in SODA and MAORA in his younger years. More recently he was racing a PRO-LITE before retiring and working for many Offroad series as tech personnel. Currently he is the CHAMP sportsman tech director and now he will be helping out in the blue SODA trailer at a race track near you. His racing bio could fill a book! His primary obligations are still with CHAMP, and his cross over will help to better solidify a strong base for safety and rules across both Midwest series. His exemplary level of commitment to Short-course Offroad Racing is something to be admired, and we're proud to have him join the team.

RACE #1 of the 2023 SODA season will be held at WIR in early May. The Wisconsin International Raceway is an asphalt stock car racing oval and dragstrip in the Town of Buchanan, in Outagamie County, just outside Kaukauna, Wisconsin, USA. Opened in 1965 they hosted most all types of motorsports over the years and now offroad racing. Stock cars, drag racing, figure 8's and home of the "Eve of Destruction"! We're super excited to make them stop #1 of our 2023 touring series.

SODA is excited to welcome Craig Romenesko as our new Track Designer for the 2023 season!

Craig isn’t just a super nice and positive family man at the races, with a kid who races karts. He owns and operates C. Romenesko Concrete and Construction Co. and gets more done before Noon than most people do all week. He founded his business in 2007. “
C. Romenesko Construction started as a family owned contracting company for small concrete projects and remodels. 13 years later, C. Romenesko Construction has grown the services offered while remaining a family owned and operated business to ensure customer satisfaction."

He sponsored the rebuilding of the SODA Super National track last year and will be sponsoring some of the track builds this year, but will always be in charge of the design of the tracks with a hands on approach. His son Jax is an up and coming racer, and they really like getting all the extra seat time SODA has to offer. Craig’s passion and enthusiasm for SODA and track design is contagious. We’re super stoked to have him on the team.
