HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Tentative dates are being held for Salt City Racing for an upcoming 2025 season.
The Kansas State Fair Board did not vote on the dates at their meeting on Thursday, because there is some contract language still to be worked out between the lawyers on both sides, and because there are additional governing bodies that would like to race in Hutchinson that aren't ready to set dates yet.
The dates being saved are:
April 25
May 9
May 30
June 6
June 20
July 18-19
August 22
September 19
October 10-11
The July date still needs to be run by the Reno County 4-H Fair Board, as that is the weekend before their livestock shows start and is the typical weekend for the dog show that happens before the county fair.
The July date, if it is worked out, would be the return of the Silver Crown series to Hutchinson.
This would be ten race dates in 2025, up from eight this year and, with the exception of the two day events, they would all be on Friday nights.
