WALL STADIUM TO HOST RACE CAR SWAP MEET

ON MARCH 6

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Auto racing teams from all forms of the sport as well as automotive enthusiasts in general will have the opportunity to either sell their parts and equipment or purchase needed items for the new season when a Race Car/Automotive Parts Swap Meet is presented in the paved pit area at Wall Stadium on Saturday, March 6. The event, which will run between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., has a heavy rain or snow date of the following Saturday, March 13.

The Swap Meet, which will feature everything from the smallest part to complete cars, is being organized by the father/son team of Earl and Doug Megill, who are well known in New Jersey for their successful events. A $15 fee is required by all vendors, while buyers and browsers will be admitted free of charge. Earl and Doug Megill can be reached at 732-681-3776 or at cdr30@optonline.net.

“It feels great to have our swap meets at Wall Speedway again,” Earl Megill said. “In recent years we have had real good interest in our swap meets not only from the dirt and pavement oval racers, but also from the drag racers, street rodders and muscle car enthusiasts.

“We just want everyone to be sure that they know they are welcome. If it is automotive related, we welcome it at our swap meet!”

For Wall Stadium auto racers and their fans tentative plans call for early season paid practice sessions on March 13, 20 and 27 before season opening races are presented on Saturday, April 3. Several racing events will then be presented on selected Saturday nights during the summer months before the annual Turkey Derby caps off the season. Promoter Jim Morton also mentioned that news will be coming out soon about the return of the “Sunday Series” on the “inner oval” featuring go-karts and other small car divisions.

In addition to the auto racing events, Morton is currently working with various promoters in an effort to bring other “family friendly” shows and events to the Wall Township stadium this season. Details will be announced soon. 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 hotline number 732-681-6400, will be operational when the office opens on February 28. More information is available at www.wallspeedway.com.
