FIGURE 8’S GO RETRO SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT “THE ROCK”
It’s a step back in time to the 1960’s, 1970’s and 80’s at Flat Rock Speedway! Actually, we can go back to the beginning of Figure 8 racing at the track in 1961. The current ARCA Figure 8 division will go “Retro” Saturday afternoon, May 15 with practice, qualifying, a 4 car dash and pursuit on the oval, while the Feature event takes place on the Figure 8 track! It’s all part of a great day of family fun this Saturday, May 15 for Kids Day. Race time is 4 p.m.
Many of today’s current Figure 8 drivers have limited to no experience on the oval at Flat Rock, which sets up a day of great action for the class. The Figure 8 daredevils will be joined by the ARCA DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stocks, The Vault Antiques and Treasures 250 lap Enduro race and the first appearance for the Bandolero class at Flat Rock this season.
The Saturday, May 15 Kids Day will see all kids to age 12 admitted free and receive a free hot dog and a soft drink or water, courtesy of Pepsi and Schwebel’s Bakery. Parents can pick up the kids tickets at the ticket window on race day. The box office and front gates open at 2, with racing at 4 p.m. There is no advance ticket sale for this event. The pit gates will open at Noon.
No coolers, cans or bottles are permitted in the main grandstand or on spectator hill. Masks upon entry and in common areas (concessions, restrooms, souvenir stand, etc); social distance when possible. Hand sanitizing stations are located throughout the spectator areas. Flat Rock Speedway is under the State of Michigan attendance limit of 20% until further notice.
