The 2003 Chateau Raceway Car Show was held last weekend at the Oak Park Mall. An excellent group of cars took part in the show representing 10 different classes.

Track and show representatives once again this year allowed any driver in any class to display their cars. Along with the track classes of Wissota Midwest Modified, Wissota Street Stock, Pure Stock, Mini Sprint, Mod Lite (Dwarf), Open Modifieds and the old Vintage models, there were also cars on hand representing Wissota Super Stock, Wissota Late Model and a North Iowa Class that is a comparable to the Pure Stocks Lansing runs.

Business-sponsored fan voting awarded trophies to the top two vote-getters with Chateau Raceway kicking in a plaque for third place. There was also a Chateau Raceway sponsored trophy awarded for an overall champion.
