I have received word that the mother of long time MARFC Members and supporters Jimmy and Tommy Gullett, Mrs. Betty Gullett has passed away. Betty, along with her husband James “Big Jim” founded Jim’s Catering in Mt. Clemens. Jimmy and Tommy were racers at Mt. Clemens Race track and many other tracks in the area. Jim’s Industrial catering sponsors our MARFC Promoter of the Year and MARFC Fan of the Year awards. Betty was an ardent supporter of racing and a huge fan of her two sons racing careers. Funeral Services are as follows:

Harold W. Vick Funeral Home 140 South Main Street Mount Clemens, Mi. Wednesday March 13, 2013 2-8 PM with rosary @ 7 PM St. Peters Catholic Church 95 Market Street Mt. Clemens, Mi. Thursday March 14, 2013 In-state at 11 AM with Funeral at 11:30 AM

All of us here at MARFC send our condolences to Jimmy, Tommy, and the Gullett Family on their loss.

Hi Race Fans, I need to inform you all of a change in meeting dates for our April 2013 General Membership Meeting. While our website shows it as the 20th, it has been re-scheduled to a week earlier for the 13th of April. The meeting is still at the DeCarlo’s Banquet Center at 7 PM as previousely noted. It had come to my attention that I had inadvertantly scheduled the meeting against one of our member tracks opening days and as such, I can not allow that to happen as we all need to continue working together for the betterment and benefit of the sport. This re-scheduling will make it possible for members to not only attend this very important meeting but will also allow those members that wish, to head down to the Toledo Speedway for their opening event of the year on April 20, 2013, the ARCA CRA Super Series/ARCA Midwest Tour Challenge race-150 laps. Practice Friday, race Sat at 5 p.m. Rain date Sun. 4-21 at 1 p.m.   Please note that this is not a fan club day but for many of us, it will be the first opportunity to see some racing and a chance to support one of our local tracks that supports the club so well. It is also vitally important that you as a member, attend the April MARFC General Membership Meeting on April 13th as this is our Bi-Annual elections for the Board of Directors and Executive Board. There are a few present Board members that have indicated that they will be stepping down from service as a Board Member so if you have been contemplating service to the club such as this, you will need to be present at that meeting to be nominated. Should there be more persons nominated for a position on the board then an election will be held. If the total number of nominees should not be more than the amount required for a full Board then those nominated will be considered as members of the next Board of Directors and will begin service on June 1, 2013. If you are interested in becoming a Board member or have any questions please respond by e-mail at president@marfc.org I hope to see you at the meeting and at Toledo Speedway. Don’t forget the MARFC Meeting this Saturday, March 16, 2013 at the Toledo Speedway Bar & Grille following the Racers Reunion. The reunion gets going around noon until 5:30 with our meeting getting started at 6 PM.

Yours in Racing, Dave DeHem MARFC President
