This is the second of our monthly winter bulletins. Schedules will be posted this Friday afternoon, December 21. They can be found under the schedule/results button. We are working on sponsors, promotions, etc., but the schedules are pretty solid…there may be a few minor changes later. The winter office for both tracks is at the Toledo Speedway Automotive Building on the east end of the grounds; phone number, 419-727-1100 and mailing address remain the same.

MEMBERSHIP FORMS: can be found under the forms button on both web pages. Cost remains same as 2018.

The Vore’s Compact Series will be with us June 14-15, the Main Event LM Series will co-sanction a pair of Gold Cup Races, and at Toledo a Monster Truck show and Megasaurus are on the schedule, 2 of the 3 Street Drag dates will run with our Friday night shows, only 1 open wheel show will now include Non-Wing Sprints and we will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Toledo on Saturday, August 10.

Flat Rock starts with a track lease for the CRA/Jeg’s LM’s and the new Junior LM’s Sunday, April 28. The weekly racing season starts Saturday, May 4. We do not lose a night, however. The last Saturday in August that was a rain date for the championships now becomes Championship night, with rain dates for all 3 classes included in the September events (see the schedules). A Factory Stock race is also on the schedule, in addition to the 4 Enduro races.

SPONSORS: We are very pleased to have Moran Chevrolet, Victory Lane Quick Oil Change, DTS Drive Train Specialists as the Flat Rock Late Model, Figure 8 and Street Stock title sponsors respectively. R & M Recycling returns as the Late Model Sportsman Silver Cup Sponsor, while Moran Chevrolet, DTS Drive Train Specialists, Dani’s Transport, Francis Engineering and Royal Truck and Trailer Sales return as Gold Cup Series sponsors as of today. Additional sponsors will be announced when secured.

W-9 FORMS: There are now 10 of you that have not returned this form. Since we do not include your SS # on the membership forms, we need this filled out for the tax man when sending your 1099’s. So…if you don’t have it on file, you won’t get a 1099, which means you will be late with your information for your tax man…..can download the form, under forms on both track home pages. Mail or fax to 734-847-3137 (ARCA office).

2019 RULE CHANGES: are posted on web pages under forms. **A Racer’s Information button will soon appear on the pages—entry forms, memberships, etc. will be found there.
