24 RACEWAY'S SPORTSMAN SPECIAL RESCHEDULED TO MAY 17th
BY: Ron Lueck - 24 Raceway, Moberly, MOMOBERLY, MO (May 12) - Saturday,
May 17th, is the new date for the MFA / Break Time Sportsman Special,
rescheduled from last weekend's rain-out at 24 Raceway. And at this week's
25-lap event in Moberly, the Sportsman class has a revised purse with a bit
bigger prize money. First place will be paying $400 with 2nd getting $300,
and 3rd taking home $250. Although the Sportsman Special will be the
featured event, the rest of the regular classes of A-modifieds, the Moberly
Motors B-modifieds, Hobby Stocks and the 4 cylinder Hornets classes will
also be in competition.
Along with this week's MFA / Break Time Sportsman Special, the Hobby Stocks
will have a mechanic's race following the night's racing program. Only this
year, an added activity will take place during the race: on one of the laps,
the mechanic will pit on the front stretch and a tire change will be
mandatory. The regular drivers will now be taking their turn at being the
tire changers on these Hobbys. More details to be discussed with the
entrants following the driver's meeting at 6pm this Saturday night.
