UPDATES and REMINDERS – Madera

June 24, 2014

 

This weekend the Madera Speedway management has put together a very extensive schedule of events with a large number of competitors in six divisions. Track management has also adjusted some procedures, policies and fees from what we have become accustomed to from past events at Madera.

 

As the event progresses this weekend, we may also have to deal with schedule adjustments as they are presented to us – we will do our best to deal with any changes to help make the event as enjoyable and successful as possible for our race teams.

 

Final Note; MAVTV who will be at this Saturday’s race, will be shooting footage of our teams this weekend to use during the two upcoming SRL races they will be televising from Irwindale and Las Vegas.
