Flat
Rock, Michigan—April 20, 2013: Despite
a dusting of snow on the rooftops and the track surface in the morning, a
hearty group of 47 race teams took laps at Flat Rock Speedway Saturday
afternoon to prepare for the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener, which is set for
Saturday, April 27. The cold, bitter
wind and snow flurries failed to halt the 5 hour practice session, which went
off without any incidents.
A variety of race cars--Late Models, Figure 8’s, Street
Stocks, Sportsman, Trucks, Enduro cars, Great Lakes Mini Cups and MCR Dwarf
Cars zipped around the fast ¼ mile oval in preparation for the 2013 racing
season. The new-look Figure 8’s were
sharp, as the class has the option to run without front fenders and nosepieces,
giving the cars a Modified-type look.
The final practice session before opening night is set
for Wednesday, April 24 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The pit area will open at 4 p.m.
Flat Rock Speedway will begin its 60th
Anniversary season Saturday, April 27 with the Jet’s Pizza Season Opener,

Drive Train Specialists Street Stocks.

opening at 1:30, practice begins at 3 (spectator gates will also open at this
