“The facility was just about ready until we got hit with all of the rain on Wednesday and that didn’t help the cause” stated Ford. “Plus the weather forecast is calling for rain on Friday and with it suppose to be sunny and much warmer on Monday. I decided to move Test and Tune to Monday night and we will open next Friday night for sure.”
On tap for the 2018 Season Opener will be the ZMK Construction Modifieds, Chambers & O’Hara Open Sportsman, Butler Auto Sales Crate Sportsman, Rinker Insurance Agency Street Stocks, IMCA Modifieds, and Four Cylinder Trucks. Each division will feature as long as at least 12 cars are entered in the respective division a full slate of qualifying events of heats, consi, and feature. If a division fails to have 12 entrants, then that division will run a feature only and this will be the policy all season long for all divisions.
