    MARS.......Can we be sure your drivers will show up? Missed the mighty MARS dirt car series drivers at 34 Raceway. How about a guarantee to show. The new ownership of MARS needs to understand what a commitment is.

      Heard MARS pulled the sanction of the Solcum race due to weather forecast.

        You heard correct. But there is more to this story. MARS must honor their commitments or suffer the wrath of the fans.

              Your only as good as your word. MARS lost some credibility by pulling out on a benefit race. Fair weather friends. They didn't do their brand any good. Now if you see their name advertised at a race, you say,"maybe they will be there."

                  34 Raceway just ripped MARS on their FB page for bailing out. Hopefully they (MARS) learn their lesson.

                            Rigsby keeps teasing it so I wouldn't be surprised to see 0 show up.

                              We have come up with some unigue rewards for the drivers simply letting us know of their intentions to be there,we will release the official Late Model Pre Entries Early next week all at the same time. We are going to be running a Fan Vote contest on our facebook page for all Pre Entered Late Models. The fans will vote for their favorite driver with a "like" on their photo and the driver with the most likes that is not in the show will receive the Fan Vote provisional worth a minimum of $750.00 (starting pay) for Friday's $20,000 to win feature. The farther that driver can advance in the feature the more money he can possibly make, it could end up being worth 20K if they can rally to the front in 74 laps. This contest will also be a huge benefit for the Speedway by everyone sharing the post to help their favorite driver get in the Big Race. The photo's will all be released at approx. the same time to be as fair as possible to everyone.

                              The Pre Entered Late Model Drivers are also eligible for a Brand New set of Dyer's Rods valued at approx. $1800.00, we will draw the winner of the rods during the friday May 12th program. Drivers must pre enter and sign in for fridays event to be eligible.

                              Pre Entered Drivers in both the Late Model and Modified divisions will also be eligible for free practice (must purchase pitpasses) shortly after the thursday program is over, this will give the teams a chance to try some setups for the friday race. Pre entry deadline is Sunday April 30th at Midnight, Drivers can pre enter By sending info to: farmercitytickets@hotmail.com

                              We are also currently selling Livingston Stone Company 50/50 raffle tickets with the winner to be drawn during the friday night program , we will continue to sell tickets before and during the weekend events. The winners share is $2500.00 and building, we hope to give one lucky fan a pile of money on friday May 12th. See our facebook page for details on how to purchase your tickets.
