MOBERLY, MO. (April 14) - With the first two weekend being either too cold or too wet, a reworking of the remaining April part of the Moberly racetrack schedule is to be as follows: The Classic Dwarf Cars and Mod-Lites have rescheduled and will now be at 24 Raceway for opening night set for next Saturday, April 21, in addition to the A-modified, B-modified, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and 4 Cylinder Hornet classes. All of them will be trying to get the first week's worth of their points for the 2007 season. At least some of the drivers got in a practice session last weekend following the car shine & show, hosted by the Mid-Mo Cruisers Car Club.

The Hornet Special, with a guarantied 20 lap feature, is now pushed back a week to April 28. And the last weekend of April will also see those exciting W.O.W. 360 cubic inch Sprint Cars come to Moberly for the first of four scheduled races for 2007. These guys have the speed record at the Moberly track with a 122 mph mark. They are way fast (and loud too!) Take note, A-Modifieds will not be racing that evening of April 28 at 24 Raceway. Instead, any A-Mod driver, registered and paid at the track and not traveling to one of the races taking place at some of the neighboring tracks, will be granted a free admission to the Grandstand with a catch. At the evening's intermission, those drivers present will be encouraged to be available for an autograph session on the front walkway. Names and car #'s will be announced for a bit of recognition, "up close and personal" for this class. If their A-mod racecar is towed to the track for display and photo option purposes, all the better. Fans can bring their cameras for a closer pic on these A-mods and, again get items signed or autographs at the base of the stands on Saturday April 28 before the features get under way.

The track info phone is 660-269-9300, or visit the website of www.24racewayinmoberly.com for more info. Gates will open at 4pm with hot laps getting under way at 6pm. Racing in the "heats" follow at 7pm. Opening night tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 6 to 12. Under 6 years of age are free. A family pass is offered for $25 and allows 2 adults and 3 kids into the grandstands. Pit passes go for $22. Five regular classes of stock car racing will take place each Saturday nite thru Oct 6, with the various specials listed on the schedule, and with "Dirt Track Racing at its Best" at 24 Raceway in Moberly.
