Only one more week remains before cars take to the half mile Spencer Speedway asphalt oval. May 15, will mark the annual Test & Tune opener. This event gives race teams a chance to take to the track and start to dial in their machines for 2009. Gates will open at 4 p.m. , with cars taking to the track around 5:30 p.m. . Teams will have the track until it becomes too dark to continue. Grandstands that evening will be open free to the public, however the pit area will have to pay an admission fee.
”This is a great opportunity for racers and team members to update their paper work and purchase their licenses,” stated promoter John White . “For any team that has a transponder, the AMB-it system will be on line that evening to give them accurate times.”
On the track, practicing that evening will be a variety of cars and classes. Participants in the weekly Four Star show, consisting of Weekly Modifieds, Street Stocks, Super Sixes and Auto Value 4-Cylinder Scorpions, will surely be on hand. Also expected are a number of other types of cars.
