Tri County Heating was founded in 1982 by Larry Lautenbach and his son Tim Lautenbach. In addition to providing top-notch HVAC equipment and services and customer support, the family has roots that run deep into local racing. TCH has sponsored more than two dozen drivers on dirt and asphalt in northeastern Wisconsin, spanning three decades. “Tony Bouche was the first driver I sponsored and that was quite some time ago,” said Larry Lautenbach, a self-described “bean counter” for the company.

Lautenbach’s racing itch took off in the early 1990′s, when he began attending races at Luxemburg, and other tracks, on a more frequent basis. His grandson, Brad Lautenbach, is an IMCA northern sportmod state champion while Brad’s brother Brian Lautenbach is an accomplished scorer at many area tracks, including the Badger Mod Tour.

Larry and his wife Cheryl seldom, if ever miss a race locally. “We hit about 8 shows out of town last year too,” said Larry Lautenbach. “The sponsorship deal with racing has drawn some new business over the years but more importantly we’ve gained some valuable friendships along the way. We love helping the teams and that’s why we’re doing this sportmod giveaway deal. Anyone who supports the track has a chance at it — not just the winner.”

“The nice deal with this car giveaway is that the sponsors that are on board while it’s on display will be on the car for the entire 2013 racing season,” said track promoter Bruce Conard. “In essence, any businesses that jump on board with this promotion will be getting two years worth of advertising. We’re grateful that Tri County Heating and our other sponsors has stepped up in this deal, and we’ve still got more space available on the car.”

Other businesses backing this race car giveaway are 141 Speedway, Jerovetz Shock Services, S & B Trailer Sales, Victory Sign, Thunderrock Fabrication and Manitowoc Motor and Machine.

Tri County Heating is located at 4724 N New Franken Road, New Franken, Wisconsin 54229. Their website is tricountyhtg.com. Their phone number is (920) 866 3271.

Track promoter Bruce Conard announced today at the Lakeshore Motorsports Show & Sale in Manitowoc that they had decided to accept the sanctioning body’s request to rejoin the state’s newest, high-banked, third-mile, clay oval in sanctioning weekly racing action for the sportmods.

The track last sanctioned the sportmod division in 2010. De Pere’s Johnny Whitman was the division’s champion that season.

IMCA, which was organized in 1915, continues to be the oldest active automobile racing sanctioning body in the United States. You can learn more about them at imca.com.

The car, valued at nearly $15,000, will be awarded to any sportmod driver who competes in 75 percent or more of the track’s weekly shows in 2012. In addition, division drivers who earn 100 percent attendance racing their cars all year will receive a mulligan — an extra chip in the drawing bag when the machine is awarded to a driver at season’s end in August.

“We got a ton of great feedback from the drivers after our motor giveaways last year,” said track promoter Bruce Conard. “They said it’s pretty rare for local tracks to do giveaways of that nature around here. This car is ready to rock, minus a motor and transmission. And we’ve got our staff working on getting a motor deal put together as well. We’ll also be giving some motors away later this year. We’ll have those announcements at our drivers meeting in February.”

Among the businesses backing this race car giveaway are 141 Speedway, Jerovetz Shock Services, S & B Trailer Sales, Victory Sign, Thunderrock Fabrication and Manitowoc Motor and Machine. The car
will be displayed this season right inside the Victory Lane Pub located at 141 Speedway.

In 2010, the historic 1/4 mile paved oval, a Lakeshore tradition for one-half century, was taken out and replaced with a high-banked, third-mile clay oval.

In 2011, the track switched it’s weekly program from Wedesday nights to Saturday nights. More change.

Track owners Bruce and Renee Conard admit they’ll sleep a little easier in 2012. For the first time in more than two years, they’ll kick off the racing season with virtually no major changes at all. “It’s sort of a breath of fresh air,” said Bruce Conard. “A lot of this stuff we had to worry about in the past we really don’t have to this year. We had a solid 2011 and are looking at building upon it even more in 2012.”

141 saw it’s average, weekly car count increase as the summer months wore on, a trend much different than most weekly dirt tracks in Wisconsin. “Our Modified and Brian Peterson Builders Grand National classes were pretty steady, but we saw a pretty good jump in the Stock Car and Street Stock classes, especially in late July and early August,” said Bruce Conard. “I’m not sure what it was. We take a lot of pride in the whole program, everything from track prep to the concession area up top to shooting the t shirts out to the fans at intermission. We pay attention to the details and we’d like to think it’s paid off for us.”

On tap again for the 2012 season will be the Modifieds, Brian Peterson Builders Grand Nationals, Stock Cars, Street Stocks, Sportmods and 4 Bangers. While the upcoming season’s schedule is not finished just yet, Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprints will invade 141 Sunday May 27 and Sunday, September 2. A third IRA date is a distinct possibility, along with a Wisconsin Dirt Late Model Association (WDLMA) late model special as well.
