2016 Rules Update:
We are working with Michigan dirt tracks to get more tracks on the same rules for car classes and help out the future of the racing industry. Our next meeting on November 1st with the other tracks will be to work on the majority of the rules and we will finish up by email after that meeting to get the rules out the racers in early November. As always, the new rules will be posted to our website at www.tricityracetrack.com - Team Info - Rules/Forms. Once the rules are finalized, we will let you know by posting it to our Facebook page, website as well as sending out a text to those who opted in to our text messaging (text TCMSRACE to 84483).
Pit Parking Reservations:
If you would like to renew your 2015 pit parking spot for 2016, it will need to be paid by November 15, 2015. After this date, racers have the option to upgrade to available spots that did not get renewed. Any spots not reserved will be opened up to those on the waiting list after November 30th. Cement pit slabs are $125, dirt and grass spots are $75. Several people have inquired about pouring more cement pit spots. The track does not have excess funding necessary to pour a strip of slabs. We have worked out a plan with a few racers and we are offering it to everyone during the off season. The cement for a parking spot costs $504 each (excluding the forms, materials and labor). Those who would like to purchase a new cement slab can pay $100 a month for five months, November-April or pay the lump sum of $500 by April 15th and will own the spot for four years. You can see all the pit spot renewal and new cement details at www.tricityracetrack.com - Tickets/Shop - Tire Barn Services.

The 2015 Banquet will be held Saturday, January 30th at the Great Hall in Midland. Invites and info will be sent out around Thanksgiving. Watch your mailbox and keep an eye on the website schedule page for more banquet details.

For your inquiring mind…
As some of you may or may not know, I have recently married and brought Erika on staff full-time working for the track. I’m excited to continue to work with her to bring the track to the next level combining her MBA business and marketing expertise with my racing and promoter knowledge. We look forward to the continued growth of the track to keep short track racing thriving so future generations can experience our passion for the sport. You are all invited to our anniversary wedding celebration on September 24th, 2016 which will be held at the track.

Thanks for your support of dirt track racing!
