Stock car racing enthusiasts of all ages are encouraged to take in the final weekend of action this Friday and Saturday afternoon at the Merritt Speedway.
Time trials begin at 1 p.m., while actual racing gets underway at 2 p.m.
Fans who attended the Merritt Stock Car Association night races back on Saturday, September 24 were treated to some mighty fine performances.
In the Bomber 4-cylinder class, Surrey’s Jordan Schuss made it a clean sweep in all three of his races - the third time this season that he’s had a perfect outing.
In the always-entertaining dwarf event, Ron Brewer managed to win two out of three races. The dash went to Tony Jones.
The hard luck story of the weekend involved Jack Allgrove of Merritt.
In his 10-lap heat for Hobby cars, Allgrove was leading comfortably going into the last lap when a three-car crash behind him brought out the yellow flag.
When racing resumed, Allgrove misread the flagmen’s instructions and could only watch in anguish as three cars went by him on the final lap.
Allgrove gained a measure of revenge, however, winning the feature 30-lap main event later in the evening.
