Friendship Raceway's Pre-season Get-together is this weekend!

          I am so excited to get to see you all this weekend! We will begin by 6pm at the Alladin Shriner Hall (Steubenville Shrine Club)!
  • Almost everyone is bringing some kind of side dish or desert so we should have lots of goodies to eat.  
  • A police officer will be on the premises so the party is BYOB style!  It will be a good time - for sure!
  • We will talk about the upcoming season, rules, and classes... that sort of thing. 
  • We will play some racing games!  Actually, we run an elimination race on a practice tree!  Two at a time, players will test their reactions.  Best RT wins the round and we will continue round after round until we have a winner.  I may be mistaken, but if I remember correctly, Jr Dragster racer, Shelby Glover won the game last year. 
  • We will have a Chinese Auction with several prizes! An FR t-shirt, an FR hat, a couple FR vinyl decals, and then some racer must haves, a circuit tester, a 15" tool bag, a 51 pc socket set, a pliers set and more.  I'm pretty sure Wendy Turner handmade a nice wreath for the ladies and Peggy Klinesmith put together a basket of tools to be in the Chinese Auction.  
You will also be able to pay for your pit spots and purchase raffle tickets for our Season Pass Raffle!   And of course we will be giving out awards to the top racers of last season's points program!

I don't know about you guys.... But I can't wait!  See you soon!

-April
