any news on who may be doing suspension April 16-17? Is there any power available to purchase anywhere without pitting inside a garage?
* Apex Manufacturing Technician, Harry will be available for all your suspension and mechanical needs No on power unless something has changed over the winter.
Nope, nothing changed over winter regarding power. If power is needed, you would have to rent a garage or bring a generator. =)
$10 gate fee? I'm going to give Sam hell over that. LOL! Did you know that if you live in Grattan Township entrance to all events is no charge? AS in no gate fee...
"* Pets are allowed and MUST be on a leash at all times. Please "clean up" after your pets" That's great news about leashed pets being allowed but can you please confirm the following site's remarks are either wrong or simply don't apply to STT? http://www.mwsport.com/grattan-race-series-rules-2014/ Thanks!
That site is not related to STT and it's relationship with Grattan Raceway. The information posted by Owen's initial post is accurate for STT at Grattan.
