From a press release:
The 8th Annual Steel Shoe Fund 3 hr ice endurance race will be held Sunday, January 19, 2003 at Gimmer’s Sunset Marina on Lake Koshkonong in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin.
This AMA snactioned event is held each year as a benefit for seriously injured motorcycle flat track racers.

Since then the Steel Shoe Fund was formed as a branch of the Wegman Benefit Fund for injured road racers and all collections are used to assist flat trackers who have been injured during competition.
This event attracts riders from all over the midwest and all disciplines to run this 1.5-mile road course layout in front of the Sunset Marina. The average turnout has been about 35 teams running in three separate classes in recent years.
Entry fee per team is $100 (2 – 4 riders per team).
