Posted January 6th 2015

This post is intended to be a summary of all the changes to expect for the coming 2015 racing year at MRCR as well as a brief schedule of big events we have planed with a short description. Each big event will get its own post/page as we get closer to those dates. There are some changes to the club racing and practice formats that will be covered here also.

First off we would like to thank everyone for having patience with us through the Holidays and rainy season its tough for us to run with all the conflicting dates and rain making it worse, we didn’t get to run at all in December and some of November as well. Because of this we had to keep pushing back the 2014 Cans for a Cause race. We are happy to inform everyone that we will be giving the 2014 cans for a Cause race one more chance on Saturday January 17th of 2015. More details about the Cans for a cause race can be found on its page. Yes we will still be having a 2015 Cans for a Cause race, which will be covered below.

2015 Practice

Practice as of January 9th, 2015, will no longer be on Thursdays. We are moving it to Friday nights from 6:30PM to 11:00PM every Friday, except for when it conflicts with Holidays, Big Events and track officials personal schedules. The calendar will be updated soon with the new practice schedule. Weather permitting as usual on all practices.

2015 Club Racing

This year we are focusing on doing a lot more Sunday Club races in addition to our Saturday Club races. Friday Night Club racing is now being replaced with the new Friday Night Practice schedule outlined above. Saturday Club races gates will open at 9AM and racing will be at 11PM. Sunday club races gates will open at 10AM and racing will be at 12PM.
