Hales Corners Speedway, known to most of us as good 'ol "Crazy Jim's" back in the days, will close. This race track was enjoyed by the Milwaukee area as well as many surrounding communities. I remember being a kid and going to those good old Demo Derby's, hoping the car you picked that just died came back to life later on in the show.

Four generations of fans got a chance to have fun over the years here. Rising costs and declines of drivers were amongst a few things that made the final decision. Perhaps it will go somewhere else, but for now a once bright light will dim upon the dirt track that once was lit with excitement.
