2013 MARFC Picnic Relocated!
ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS: MARFC Picnic has been moved to STONY CREEK METRO PARK! Do to unforseen circumstances our plans to have our picnic at the Waterford Hills Raceway have been cancelled for this year. The Raceway worked hard for our club to make this happen this year. We are going to try to work things out for next year. Many Thanks to Waterford Hills Raceway for trying and we are very sorry about the change in locations. But we were able to get a spot at Stony Creek Metro Park in a different location than we have used before so remember that we will be at the RIDGEWOOD Picnic Area just follow the road from the entrance and stay to the right and you will see it near the back right area of the park. We will still need your RSVP for the number of adults and children to have enough food for all who attend.

Another great outing at the Toledo Speedway for our members who attended. Board Members Jeff Horan and Larry Iacoboni along with Sue Iacoboni and Paul Anton greeted members at our MARFC table. Our MARFC Uniform/Helmet Bag was presented to X-Car Division Driver Rich Frantz for his support of his division. Many Thanks to Ron Drager, Roy Mott and Scott Schultz for having us again this year.

With clouds on the horizon MARFC made its way over to the Kalamazoo Speedway for some great racing action under what turned out to be a clear night and summer temperatures. The racing on the track was competitive and action packed with many battles for the win being decided at the line. Table helper was Julie DeHem and we enjoyed conversation with many MARFC members who stopped by the table to sign in and say hello. Thanks for the liquid refreshment from longtime club member Gordon Bouws. Member raffle winner was Jim Town while the MARFC Helmet Bag was presented to Keith Wilfong. Keith is the driver of the #75 Pro Stock which is a beautiful 1965 Buick Skylark. Keith tows up from Howe, Indiana and calls the Kalamazoo Speedway home. Keith started his driving career in 2008 after working as a crewman for the Mike Wortinger. A collection was taken up by the track for Mike, who was severly injured in a racing accident a couple of weeks ago and over $2,000 was raised to help in Mike’s recovery. Keith is one of those drivers who just plain loves racing and is a big help to not only his team but to his competitors as well. Many thanks to Gary & Donna Howe for having us out to the track and to P.A. Announcer Jason Seltzer for talking up the club and to Flagman Rick Beebe and Jason for helping with the helmet bag presentation. We had a great time at Kalamazoo.
