MT. PLEASANT SPEEDWAY WELCOMES MARFC FOR 2020!

Great night for racing a little warm but not to hot. Plenty of cars in the pit area and a very good crowd on hand to see some good dirt racing. Our MARFC Uniform/Helmet Bag was presented to a Mini-Wedge driver # 32 Ella Bringer. Way to go Ella! Our MARFC members raffle winner was Ken Hermanson. A very special thanks to Ken and Robert Dickey for lending a helping hand at our MARFC table that evening. Big hanks to Betty & Mario Crook and the staff at Mt. Pleasant Speedway for having us back again and are continuing to work hard to keep racing for the rest of the season with all the COVID-19 stuff happening now in our state.(Photo Left: Club member Robert Dickey & Ella Bringer) (Photo Right: MARFC raffle winner Ken Hermanson)

MARFC Heads to the Races This Weekend!

Dear MARFC Members: As with the current situation with the COVID-19 virous most of our racing facilities are still not able to open for racing this season. But there are some who are racing and doing what they can to keep open by following local, state & CDC guidelines to be able to have local racing here in Michigan. So, I am asking all of our members who have the need to get out and see racing please follow all the safety measures the tracks have in place and that will help them stay open for the rest of the season. Please be sure to thank them for working hard to open and that we appreciate them & support our love of racing. With that here are our next fan club day events on tap for this weekend.
