WALL TOWNSHIP SPEEDWAY TO
HOST
RACE CAR SWAP MEET ON MARCH 14 |
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
Township Speedway on Saturday, March 14. The event, which will run between
7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., has a heavy rain date of the following day.
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 one of 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.”
After sitting idle through 2008, with the exception of the
overwhelmingly successful “Turkey Derby” race in late-November, Wall
Township Speedway will come alive again in 2009. The busy schedule will
feature professional auto racing and several types of “special events” that
should offer everyone who lives in or visits New Jersey something of
interest.
For the auto racers and their fans tentative plans call for early
season paid practice sessions before races are presented on selected
weekends in April and May. Several racing events will then be presented on
selected Saturday nights during the summer months before the annual Turkey
Derby caps off the season. 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 Township Speedway 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
