March General Meeting Update!

nortonwebdragerwebOur annual trek to the Toledo Speedway Bar & Grille for our March general meeting was once again well attended. ARCA President Ron Drager was on hand and shared the highlights of the 2013 ARCA season prior to watching the year in review video from the 2012 ARCA season that is shown at the ARCA banquet. Then next we had General Manager Scott Schultz who gave us an informative rundown of the upcoming and exciting seasons coming up at both the Toledo & Flat Rock Speedways. To start out the night, I had the pleasure of sitting down with leading historian and championship winning driver Brian Norton. Brian has long been a staple at the Toledo and Flat Rock Speedways as well as taking his talents on the road to some of the tri-state areas race tracks.  Brian shared about his first start in an enduro car way back at the Butler Motor Speedway. Brian spent some time in the Enduro’s before moving up into the schultzwebmore powerful Street Stocks Division at Flat Rock where He achieved much success in winning races and championships.  Brian also shared that one of the highlights of his driving career was to be able to step into the famed school bus yellow number one of the legendary Joy Fair and take a turn in the wheel house of the driver that has done so much not only in the mid west but all over the country as well. Brian shared a bit about some of his favorite races and even more about his vast collection of racing pictures and memorabilia. Brian is also the driving forces behind the annual Racers Re-Union that is held at the Toledo Speedway Bar & Grille each March and is also the site of the MARFC March Meeting every year. A great time was had by all and a big Thank You to Ron Drager and Scott Schultz for hosting the event as well as adding in some door prizes along with Dan Markey. Suzie Drager won the MARFC 50/50 and donated her share back to the Randall Ginter Memorial Injured Driver’s Fund. Thank You Suzie for your generosity and support of the club.
