Merced Speedway
06/03/10 at 1:03pm

Just a few things to help those that want to know what is going on with Merced Speedway from John Soares Jr.
1) Will start racing July 9th (yes Friday Nights)
2) Chuck will have nothing to do with the track.
3) UMP rules for Mods
4) Track configuration will be changed with the back strightway moving infront of the lights(as soon as possible maybe not until next season)
5) The Web site will be up with the old address as soon as possible.
This should help with some answers for everyone, I had a nice talk with John and look forward to racing Merced again.
