WEST SALEM, WI (Thursday, September 18, 2008) - With 19 divisions competing over four days and over 15,000 race fans in attendance, an event of this magnitude needs to have its own website.  Oktoberfest organizers in conjunction with speedXdesign, Inc has created www.oktoberfestraceweekend.com.

"I have always been a fan of this event," Scott Lofquist of speedXdesign, Inc. stated.  "I felt that an event of this magnitude deserved its own site and it was a pleasure to put this together for them.  I agree with John that the most interesting about the site is the information that he has provided in the history section.  I think anyone who is interested in this site will find all of the answers to their questions regarding Oktoberfest."
