Moberly Mo. (March 24, 2006) -  This season's test & tune scheduled for the first two days of April.  Cars will be allowed onto the track just two at a time for a maximum of five laps get their racing set-ups and their techniques "dialed in".  A pass to the pit area for each of these two weekend days will be $10 per person per day.  And the grandstands will be free to those who just need to spend some time watching racecars moving around the high banks of Moberly on the Saturday and Sunday afternoons of April 1st and
2nd.  Times are from Noon to dusk each day.

This season, in addition to the five regular classes of A-modified, B-modified, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and 4 Cylinder Hornets, 24 Raceway will see once-a-month visits from some other exciting classes of racecars.  It will start with the return of the Limited Late Models on the 2nd race night of the year, April 15, for their scheduled monthly show.  Also racing once a
month will be both a designated mechanics race, and Mod Lites together with Dwarf Cars on yet another date.

Once again, the 360 Sprints will come to 24 Raceway to compete in the annual Gary Scott Memorial Special, set this year for Memorial Day Weekend, May 27.

Another W.O.W. Sprint car race is set for later in September on the 16th, and still a 3rd is being considered for sometime in July. 

This year, the ticket prices will be as follows:  Grandstand tickets will be $10 each for Adults, and $5 for Kids 6 thru 12.  Pit passes have been set at $22 per person for 2006.  In addition, the lower end of the payouts for some classes have been increased, as a means of getting a bit more of the bucks back to the participants.

These practice days of both April 1 & 2 are designed for the drivers to "get a feel for the track" before the actual start of the season on April 8.  All five weekly classes of A-modified, B-modified, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and 4 Cylinder Hornets will start competing for the 2006 season points beginning at 7pm.  The Saturday night of April 22 will see the first of the eight
scheduled special events, with this one being a Hornet Special. 

Workers have added some 40+  truck-loads of dirt to the track, rebuilt the north concrete wall, and working the place into racing shape during this last month of the off-season. So come out and enjoy the fun this season at 24 Raceway, Moberly, Missouri, back again for a whole new year of exciting wheel to wheel racing!  

The web site of www.24racewayinmoberly.com is currently down for a few more weeks until the return of webmaster Sam Smith from his service to our country, so please be patient.  If you see him at the track sometime during the season, you might want to give him an "atta boy" for doing his part in the armed forces.
