ENDURO CARS QUALIFYING!   DWARFS, 4 CYLINDERS, TRAIN RACE ON AT FLAT ROCK

ENDURO CARS QUALIFYING! DWARFS, 4 CYLINDERS, TRAIN RACE ON AT FLAT ROCK

Flat Rock, Michigan—September 5, 2013:  For the first time in the nearly 30 years of Enduro racing at Flat Rock Speedway, the division will practice and take 2 qualifying laps this Saturday night, September 7.  In addition to the 250 lap Enduro race, the MCR Dwarf Cars will make the trip to “The Rock”, the ARCA 4 Cylinder championship race will be contested and a Figure 8 Train race will also be a part of the Saturday race card, which has a 6 p.m. start time.  Saturday’s 250 lap event is race number 3 of 4 for the Enduro Series at Flat Rock.  History dictates that the Enduro cars simply line up 3 wide and the green flag is dropped on the field.  But this Saturday, the 25-30 car field that is expected will get the opportunity to run a 10 lap practice session and then take part in a qualifying, with each car getting 2 laps in a row on the clocks.

The winner of the Enduro gets a cool $1000 for the victory.  The race features no yellow flags and is only stopped for safety measures.  The Enduro-style race dates back to the mid-1980’s at the track and has been a mainstay of Flat Rock’s schedule since.

The touring MCR Dwarf Cars will make their second appearance of 2013 at Flat Rock, while the ARCA 4 Cylinder title is on the line in their 20 lap main event.  The wild Figure 8 Train race, which has 2 cars chained together—front car with the engine, back car with the brakes, is also on tap for fans Saturday night. The pit area opens at 3, the front gates open at 4, practice begins at 4, time trials are at 5 and racing starts at 6 p.m.  Please note the 6 p.m.start time for this event and the remaining events on the Flat Rock schedule.

And at Toledo Speedway this weekend, a Racer's Flea Market and Public Flea Market will take place in the track parking lot from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, September 7-8.

The Rusty Wallace Racing Experience is also at the track for rides and drives in a stock car!  Reservations are required.  Go to www.racewithrusty.com for more information.

JOHN ANDERSON WHEELS STAN YEE #33 TO VICTORY IN 1974 GLASS CITY 200

JOHN ANDERSON WHEELS STAN YEE #33 TO VICTORY IN 1974 GLASS CITY 200

In 1968, Toledo Speedway promoter and ARCA founder John Marcum came up with the idea of running a 200 lap Late Model invitational—the Glass City 200.  Despite a 20-year hiatus of the race from 1978-1998 (when the Toledo track was sold), the race was revived in 1999 when Marcum’s grandson, Ron Drager, purchased the track with business partner Roy Mott.

And the race still carries the prestige and notoriety that it once did back in the 1960’s and 1970’s

The year is 1974….an amazing record 76 cars travel to Toledo Speedway for the Glass City 200!  All the top Late Model drivers in the Midwest are here, including a surprise visit by Wisconsin legend Dick Trickle.  Another strong combination of driver and car owner rose up for this race, as John Anderson piloted the famous #33 of Stan Yee to victory…..

And the race still carries the prestige and notoriety that it once did back in the 1960’s and 1970’s

In the 1960’s and 1970’s, a driver driving for a car owner instead of his own machine was commonplace on the short tracks.  The #24, owned by Adrian, MI businessman John Ramus, put Ed Cooper in the seat of his Camaro and the Jackson, MI native made sure Ramus got a big victory with the win in the 1976 version of the Glass City 200.  Ramus, Cooper and Marcum (left to right) pose for a photo in the Winner’s Circle.

HUGE CROWD ENJOYS FLAT ROCK SCHOOL BUS SHOW

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - September 14, 2013) - The largest crowd in several years jammed Flat Rock Speedway Saturday night for the Griller’s Select BBQ Sauce School Bus Figure 8 race.  Perfect weather greeted the sold-out crowd to witness not only the bus race, but a Boat Figure 8 and the track’s Figure 8 and Street Stock classes.

Rookie Corey Duane capped off a solid first year with a win in the 25 lap ARCA DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock feature.  The “progressive” show, which had no qualifying, is set up by a blind draw for heat races and finishes in those events sets the field for the feature race.  Duane, who had recorded several second runs this year, got to the Sun Drop Winner’s Circle in his #12, topping Tim Moore, Nick Shanks, Scott Selmi, Rob Moore, Guy Fire, Craig Lange, Jeff Luttermoser, Chris Diovardi and Pete Shrake.  Marvin Krause, Kyle Worley, Tadek Stadniczuk, Gary Haener, Justin Rodriguez, Larry Smouthers, Clyde McKee and Tom Murphy completed the finishing order.  Steve Chartrand and Dan Doyle were scratches for the main event.  Rob Moore, Selmi and Fire won the heat races.

The advance ticket sale will end tonight at 5 p.m. Some reserved seating remains for Saturday’s prestigious event and may be obtained by stopping at the track office or calling 419-727-1100.  Most major credit cards are accepted.

The race day schedule has the pit area opening at 9:30 a.m., practice begins at Noon, time trials are set for 3 and racing begins at 5 p.m. The front gates will be open to watch practice during the afternoon; at 2:30, the grandstands will be cleared and tickets will go on sale.
