Another hot night for racing on the states west side. Very packed pit area with the Great Lakes Sprint Cars on hand with all the regular racers made for some very good racing. The MARFC Uniform/Helmet Bag was presented to rookie driver # 02 David Giles for supporting his division. Then new MARFC member Douglas Cooke won our MARFC members raffle that night so, welcome Doug. Thanks to PA Announcer Jeremy for all the great PR and to Tom Sprague and the staff at Thunderbird Raceway for having us. Cannot wait for next years visit! Thanks to Bill Walters

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.

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.
Very hot & sunny day for racing on the dirt at the Merritt Speedway for our first fan club day event in 2020. Members and fans were treated with some great racing that evening. Our members raffle was won by Ron Bauer! Our MARFC/Uniform Helmet Bag was presented to long time veteran track worker & supporter Randy Hose. Randy has worked at the speedway for over 46 years and you can find him in the flag stand most every night. Congratulations on a great career Randy! Many thanks to Mike Blackmer and his staff for working with us to get this event in for 2020. Thanks to all the members who stopped by and said Hi!
