School Bus at The Rock

bus10_01_01

For those who attended the figure “8” bus race at the Flat Rock Speedway on June 11th what a great race it was. Our MARFC sponsored bus was driven by veteran figure “8” bus driver and member of MARFC Jack Franzil. Jack gave a grand showing for our bus as he was instrumental in making fellow club member Gary Majchrzak driver the Sterling Printing bus over on its side for the crowed. Then he made heavy contact with another bus in the intersection and that did him in for the night. Many thanks to all who bought donation tickets and help in supporting this venue.

Special Offer from USAC

Hey Race Fans,

Breaking News from USAC……..All current 2010 MARFC Members are eligible for a discounted admission rate of $10.00 for the Open wheel show this Saturday night, June 12, 2010 at the Berlin Raceway. Our friends at USAC contacted me to let me know that they wanted to honor our club by giving us discounted admission to the races this weekend. On the racing card this weekend are the USAC National Sprint cars as well as the USAC Wolverine Midgets and the Kerkstra Services Pro Stock Division. Show your current 2010 membership card at the ticket office and receive the discounted admission rate of $10.00 for this open wheel spectacular. The Berlin raceway is located a few miles west of Grand Rapids right off of the I-96 freeway in Marne. Take the Marne exit and follow the signs to the Berlin Raceway. If you are headed West to go to the races you may want to take advantage of this offer.

On the other hand, if you are planning on heading east and taking in some school bus racing, we still have 10 dollar tickets to the school bus figure 8 at the Flat Rock Speedway this coming Saturday night. If you want to see spills and thrills then contact me via this link to order your tickets now as time is running out. Also on the bill are the Toledo Factory Stocks, Figure 8, and the 4 cylinder divisions.

Mark your calendars for July 9, 2010 and the re-scheduled rain -out of MARFC day at the Spartan Speedway. The Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Michigan Legends Series Presented by Z-max will be the guests along with the regular Spartan divisions of Modifieds, Pure Stocks, and Pony Stocks.

Lots of racing coming up this week especially with the NASCAR Boys heading to MIS so get out to the races and enjoy our great sport.
