Estevan Motor Speedway held its annual general meeting on Monday, revealing their financial information from last year, electing board members and taking care of some other issues.

One of the primary items on the agenda was discussion on whether to move from IMCA to the WISSOTA sanctioning body.

In the end, the Speedway will remain under the IMCA banner, but will attempt to bring in more late model shows that will be sanctioned by WISSOTA.

"There was discussion, and it centred around the fact that the club would like to put on more late model shows. They feel that the fans are ready for that, they want to see that come in, not as a regular class this year, but give them more exposure, as well as the sport mods," said Speedway marketing and promotions director Tracy Lewis-Miller.

Meanwhile, the track made a profit of $12,296 last year. Their total income was $393,383, while their total expenses came to $381,087.

Lewis-Miller said the expenses were up about $30,000 from the previous year, but that was mainly due to the payouts for various shows that were brought in.

The only addition to the executive was Gregg Mann, while Ed Turnbull left the board.

Discussion was also held on sport modifieds, and they will again not be a regular class next year, but Lewis-Miller said the track will bring in that class on a more consistent basis.
