This Memorial Day Weekend
Spartan race fans have an extra special treat scheduled for the first Slugfest Sunday event of the year over the Memorial Day weekend. The ARCA Gold Cup Series is venturing out for their very first race away from their two ARCA owned and operated tracks of Flat Rock and Toledo. As many of you may know by now, those two tracks have been my home away for home for over twenty years, and I have seen nearly all of the Gold Cup races that have been run. For those who aren’t very familiar, I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the series and some of the top drivers that will be competing next weekend at Spartan.

The weather was once again outstanding as Spartan welcomed the Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club for their annual fan club night at the track. As the club PR Director, I like to call MARFC “The best value in racing” as our members receive free admission to approx. twenty racing events every season for the low cost of an annual membership. I also had the great pleasure to sit for the races with two of our new members that recently moved to East Lansing from Seattle, and visited Spartan for the very first time. Ed and Sarah said they had a fantastic time and promised me that they planned on coming back regularly.

Brick pavers for the Dorothie A. Zimmerman Hall of Fame Park are available.
Information for Induction to the Dorothie A Zimmerman Hall of Fame
The Dorothie A. Zimmerman Hall of Fame Park will be situated between the main grand stands and the turn 4 stands. Completion will be some time during the summer of the 2012 race season. As paver orders are received they will be installed as soon as we have enough orders to send to the company that is making the brick pavers.
As many people know Dorothie was a driving force behind Spartan Speedway from 1977 to 1989, when she passed. Mother has never been properly recognized for her commitment to Spartan Speedway and it's members, as well as what Spartan Speedway is today. The path of paving bricks that pass through the Park should serve as a proper show of respect and appreciation for all who have raced, crewed, worked, been a visitor or would like to simply have a memory preserved.
The 8X8 pavers will cost 110.00 and the 4X8 pavers will cost 60.00.
Step 1. Carefully complete the form for either the 8X8 engraved brick or the 4X8 engraved brick.
Step 2. Mail the form accompanied with a check made out to Spartan Speedway, 551 W. Columbia St. Mason, 48854.
If you have any questions please contact Jim Leasure at spartanspeedway@gmail.com or call 517-244-1042.
So, you're thinking about buying a boat and some fishing gear and taking your son fishing? Or
maybe your daughter? Why not fulfill your own life-long dream of auto racing and get your own
kids involved in the sport. Or maybe even yourself. Building, maintaining, and racing a Pony
Stock race car at Spartan Speedway is an inexpensive form of family
entertainment. And if you're looking at doing this with your kids, it can be very educational
for them as well. Spartan has competitors in this class ranging in age from 13
all the way up to 85. It's family fun for every age.
To begin your research, check out the easy steps towards
building a new Pony Stock. You'll also find excellent
help available on the Spartan message board from many
other knowledgable competitors who are more than willing to help guide the way.
It's easy to go fishing... find out how easy and fun it is to go racing!
