A test and tune day will kick off the campaign on March 19 with the official season opener set two weeks later on April 2.

The original "Test-and-Tune" date of March 5 was pre-empted because of inclement weather that hampered speedway preparation. March 19 will now be the date that driver's anxiously look forward to in order to prep their cars for the 2005 points championship race at the speedway.

K-C Raceway owner/promoter Jimmy Nier of Piketon (OH) said, "The past two years we were anxious to get an early start on the racing season, but the weather has just been terrible. We have had to push back the starting date, but we are really excited about the upcoming season. Everything is pretty much ready to go; we are just waiting for things to dry out."

K-C will kick things off with a Full racing program of 410 Super Sprints, Late Models, Modifieds, and Hobby Stocks on April 2. On April 9, K-C will host a $3,000 to win Late Model Special with Modifieds and Hobby Stocks serving as the support classes.
