Concert Information . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Canterbury Park is in the process of developing the 28 acre Festival Fields area of . our property to provide a more comfortable setting for our concert customers and to . minimize the impact these events have on our neighbors due to the area being a lower elevation and further from residential areas. In addition, we feel that the . flexibility of the venue will allow us to develop, over the next few years, a wide . variety of unique events that we previously were unable to host due to lack of space and limitations on dates due to conflicts with our live racing schedule. In addition to . music festivals, the venue could host events such as car and RV shows, dog shows, . swap meets, sports tournaments, and cultural events. . These new events should provide us with additional direct revenue and will benefit our existing racing and card room business by exposing Canterbury Park to a large . new audience. The events will also have a positive economic impact on Shakopee . and the surrounding communities. . Preliminary meetings have already begun with Shakopee Police, Rose Presents (Promoter of all shows) and Canterbury Park to start planning for the three concerts . scheduled for 2010. Additional meetings will be scheduled to, finalize plans for . traffic, fire department and other issues. . Concert line up . Soundset '10 . Sunday, May 30, 2010 . Hours: 11 am - 9pm .

Race in 1997. Due to weather delays and problems with the track . conditions the event went later than anticipated, resulting in . Canterbury Park and the City receiving numerous noise complaints. . Prior to scheduling to bring back the race in 2010, we had discussions with the sanctioning body of the AMA regarding how we can mitigate . these complaints. As you will see by the attached schedule, we . expect the races to be completed by 9 pm, which is much earlier than . the previous event. We also discussed mufflers with AMA and have . been assured that the current muffler requirements will result in noise levels for this event being significantly lower than in 1997 . While we . understand that there will be a certain noise level associated with this . type of event, we are confident we will be within the levels allowed . under the City of Shakopee noise ordinance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Championship is the oldest and most traditional form of motorcycle racing, tracing it's roots back to the early 1900's when young daredevils tested . each other on county fairground ovals all around the United States. In 1954, the first Grand National Champion was crowned, as Joe Leonard had accumulated the most points in the new . series. Since then, the series has seen major changes but remains strong 56 years later. At the end of the 2010 season, the rider who accumulates the most combined points in Expert Twins and . Expert Singles events will be crowned as the 2010 AMA Pro Grand National Champion and . CatTY the #1 plate, a rider will also be crowned champion in each of the following classes, Pro Singles, Expeli Singles and Expeli Twins. . While the motorcycles have evolved greatly, the close, elbow-rubbing action remains. Grand . National Twins races are contested on half mile and mile ovals with top speeds approaching 140 mph on the miles with twin-cylinder bikes ranging from 500cc to 1250cc. The Grand National . Singles races are held on short track ovals and TT courses with 450cc single-cylinder production frame machines. Each Grand National Championship event (Twins & Singles Nationals) will . include the "Pro Class" competing on 450cc single-cylinder production frame machines to . suppOli young competitors coming up through the ranks, while also providing a platform for additional manufacturers and teams to go dili track racing at the Grand National level. . For many years the venerable Harley-Davidson XR-750 has been the weapon of choice in the . Grand National Twins Championship, but over the last few years the rules have been tweaked in an effort to open the class to a variety of manufacturers. The 2009 season saw riders entered on . machines from Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha, Kawasaki, KTM and BMW, all challenging the dominant Harley flagship. . . . . . . . a . . .;~' ~ I . PRO R,A.CING I I .
