TRANSPONDERS
Midvale Speedway uses Westhold Transponders. Yellow is rechargeable and orange is hardwired.
The transponder must be located in line with the rear axle tube. This is the same system used at Painesville and Lorain.
If you have one, PLEASE BRING IT!
Transponders will also be available to rent for $30 for the entire weekend. A valid ID is required.
CAMPING
Camping is available along the fence/tree line of the main parking lot.
There are NO water, electric or sewer hookups. You are responsible for maintaining and cleaning up your campsite.
As in previous years, NO CAMPING IN THE PITS. Camping must be in the main parking lot.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event of inclement weather, purses may be reduced by up to 20%.
DRIVERS — WE NEED TO KNOW WHO’S COMING!
Please reach out to Matthew Helms and let us know you are competing — ESPECIALLY MIDVALE DRIVERS!
Pit parking is going to be TIGHT.
Midvale drivers who purchased pit pads will have the first opportunity to use their pad IF THEY ARE COMPETING. Depending on the number of cars and trailers, you may or may not receive the same pad you previously used — and not everyone is guaranteed a pad.
We will work with everyone the best we can!
Three days. Season Championships. Fall Classic Features. Kids Gold Rush. Wheelman Juicebox. Powder Puff. A whole lot of racing.
MAKE SURE YOUR BACKSIDE IS TRACKSIDE!
