Auto racing fans attending events at Wall Stadium can now listen to the call of the races on portable FM radios starting with this weekend’s “Tommy Comerford Memorial.” Fans are urged to bring any small portable FM radio with headphones to the track to hear the call of each race. The track’s new low powered FM radio signal will be heard on the speedway grounds only.
“I am really excited about this,” promoter Jim Morton said. “Now fans will be able to listen to the call of the events by our announcers in the stands with simple radios that they can bring from home. Our sound man Jay Newcomb has done a great job with this. All fans will need to do is set their portable FM radios to 91.7 and they will hear the call of every race crystal clear.”
This weekend’s “Tommy Comerford Memorial” will feature two 66-lap main events for tour type Modified stock cars offering each winner a cool $6,600 payday. A total purse of $40,000 is up for grabs at present and that could climb as the event approaches. At present, over 30 tour type Modified entries have been received. With main events slated to take the green flag at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 24), a rain date of Sunday (Oct. 25) with the same time schedule is in effect in case of wet weather.
Also on the day’s agenda will be twin main events for the Calabreeze Pools Sportsman cars, the Street Stocks and the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks. The I.N.E.X. Legend Cars are slated for a 25-lap main event.
Pit area gates will open at 9:30 a.m. and practice will begin at 10:30 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. The grandstands will open at 11:00 a.m. to the general public, while fans that purchased during the September 26 presale will have the opportunity to enter the grandstands at 10:30 a.m.
The first events on the agenda will be the three rain postponed races from September 26. Those events, 25-lappers for the Sportsman and Street Stocks and a 20-lapper for the Factory Stocks, will begin promptly at 1:45 p.m. Next up, at approximately 2:30 p.m., will be qualifying for the day’s originally scheduled events.
Then, at 3:45 p.m., the first of a pair of tour type Modified 66-lap features will be contested before the Legend Cars, Sportsman and Street Stock racers return in 25-lap features. The tour type Modifieds will then run their second 66-lapper of the day before the Factory Stocks wrap up the action in a 20-lapper.
In the event of rain of Saturday, the same time schedule will be used on Sunday.
Wall Stadium is located on Route 34 in Wall Township , N.J. , just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B. The speedway office is open from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Information and Modified entry forms are available by calling 732-681-6400 and at www.wallspeedway.com.
