Following the meeting, both tracks will give away 4 hour track rentals, pad rentals, tickets and more in a random drawing.  Drivers must be present to win.

“We enjoy these Racer’s Reunions, which gives us the opportunity to say thank you to our former racers at both tracks,” noted Ron Drager, promoter of both speedways.  “With the addition of the 60 year Anniversary celebration at Flat Rock this season, we are looking forward to a large turnout of racers March 16 as well as at our Racer’s Reunion weekend during the season.”
