Bright sunshine and a beautiful day greeted racers as they arrived at the Historic half mile speedway for a day of test and tune. Open Sportsman, Street Stocks, Mini Mods, Buzz cars and Open Wheeled Modifieds took to the track in alternating sessions. New Head Tech man Wayne Evans and assistant John Robinson were on hand to look over the cars and get to know the racers. Some drivers used the open practice session to log laps and gain valuable seat time while others broke in new motors and some worked out off season bugs that they found in their rides. “It was nice to see more cars on the track and how they handled a raw racetrack, we even had a couple of Montgomery Motorcycle police stop by and test their radar guns, clocking Billy Melvin at 110 MPH down the back stretch in his #134 open wheeled Modified.” said Track General Manager Stan Narrison.
The excitement continues next Friday night as Montgomery Motor Speedway will offer one more open practice session with Gates opening at 4 and practice from 5 till 8. Tires and fuel will be available and teams may leave their haulers in the pits for Saturdays race.
