WKA KART ACTION SET FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J.
~ Classic cars, custom cars, muscle cars and street rods
will get all the attention this Friday evening (May 14) at
Wall Stadium as the shore speedway presents its first
"Friday Night Cruise Night" of the season. The event,
schedule from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. is free of charge
for both participants and spectators.
Just like last year, several of the
speedway's racecar drivers also plan to display their
machines and meet with those from the surrounding community
during the evenings.
Plans again call for all of the
special cars to be parked in the large, paved pit area at
the speedway. Food will be available from the speedway's
refreshment stands and participants will get the chance to
cruise around Wall Stadium's famous third mile high banked
oval as the track's pace car will lead groups of cars around
the track though out the evening.
After Friday
evening's event, the remainder of these "family friendly"
gatherings is set for June 11, July 9, August 13, September
10 and October 8. Each event is set for the second Friday of
the month with the third Friday to serve as a rain date for
each one. All "Friday Night Cruise Nights" are set to start
at 5:00 p.m. Admission is free of charge for both car show
participants and those who visit the speedway to admire the
custom cars.
Then on Saturday and Sunday during the daylight hours,
the busy Wall Stadium weekend will continue, as the World
Karting Association will take over the facility for two days
of action. All WKA Pavement Series National classes will be
offered, in addition to F-200 and Wall Micro Stock classes.
Saturday's scheduled finds pits opening at 10:00 a.m.,
before registration and pre-race tech inspection starts at

and run until 5:00 p.m. before the pits close for the day at

and tech inspections will start at 9:30 a.m. A drivers
