MAY FAN CLUB DAY REPORTS

Kalamazoo Speedway: Board Member Al Peltier & son Brendon were on hand to greet members at the Kalamazoo Speedway for our first fan club night of the 2009 season. Great weather and awesome racing was on tap for the night. Our MARFC/Uniform Helmet Bag was presented to track announcer Jason Seltzer for his dedication to the sport for many years at the speedway. We wish to thank Gary & Donna Howe and the staff at Kalamazoo for a great night.

Spartan Speedway: Cloudy & warm weather on hand and a packed field of cars at Spartan for our annual outing at the speedway. Great to see many members stop by and say Hi! Super Late Model driver Dave Stehouwer was awarded our MARFC/Uniform Helmet Bag that evening for his support of the division at the speedway.

Our MARFC members raffle winner for the night was Stella Lindahl. Many thanks to Jim Leasure, Paul Zimmerman, Bill Lackey and to "Big Ed" Inloes for welcoming us back again this season.

Owosso Speedway: Mother Nature won on the night of our return to the Owosso Speedway. But we have a rescheduled date for Saturday May 30, 2009. Thanks to the team at Owosso for getting us back on schedule so quickly.

Auto City Speedway: Very cold weather made for a quick paced night of racing at Auto City. Six divisions were on hand for MARFC members to enjoy. Pure Stock # 96 driver Rex "Roll Over" Perry was awarded our MARFC/Uniform Helmet Bag for his support of his division. A big thank you to Joe DeWitte and the entire staff for making our night outstanding once again this season! Our MARFC raffle winner was Taylor Fischer.
