06 March 2009 - Tires and Rules Changes

Recently announced on the Madera Speedway website, and confirmed with
Madera management, all tires for 2009 will be purchased at the track.  Specific
days and hours of business, as well as location will be made available on the
Madera website shortly.

There are no rule changes from 2008 at this time.  We have had discussion
regarding decreasing our minimum weight, but a unanimous decision was
required in order to change the rule and was not met.

23 March 2009 - Tire Ordering

Per Madera Speedway management, here is current tire information:

  •  Tire orders are due in to the track (via phone, fax, or e-mail) by 4:00pm
    on Wednesday for pick-up on that Friday.  Tires do NOT have to be ordered
    on the week of the race (you can order early).  Please include tire size,
    preferred compound, and preferred chalk measurement with your order.

  •  Tires may be picked up on the Fridays, Tuesdays, and race days.  Other
    pick-up options may be available - contact Pat Patnaude with questions.

  •  Currently the track is accepting payment via cash or check only in order
    to keep costs down.  Payment is due when tires are picked up.

As the track gets information regarding the most common tires used, they will
increase inventory available at the track. However, to get going it is imperative
you get your order placed in a timely fashion, as tires will be delivered directly
from Hoosier.

All track contact information is available at

09 March 2009 - Tire Changes

We should have confirmation on the ordering process, payment process, and

opinion, please contact Pat or Kenny at Madera Speedway (see
www.racemadera.com for contact information).

11 October 2009 - Rule Adjustments

Per Madera Speedway management, the 2010 rules package is currently under
review and will be out soon.  There are no major changes anticipated, however,
there will be additional clarifications made to the existing package in order to
avoid some of the confusion from 2009.  The rules will be published on the
Madera Speedway website (
www.racemadera.com) once completed.  Also, to
ensure the proper rules package is in place, the SM360 website will no longer
have PDF or Word files of the rulebook, but will simply link to Madera
Speedway.

18 December 2009 - 12/16 Owner's Meeting Recap

As a result of the meeting on 12/16/2009, the following adjustments will be put in
place for the 2010 racing season:

  • There will be 3 officials tasked with technical inspection and rule enforcement
    courtesy of Madera Speedway.  There will be a pre-season meeting with the
    officials to go over any issues or questions in the rules package. Meeting date
    is to be determined.

  • The 2 tire rule is to be clarified as follows: A car will be allowed 4 new tires
    at its first race of the season.  After the car’s first race, a maximum of two
    new tires per race day only.  Tires are to be marked by inspectors
    immediately before qualifying and will be considered ‘marked’ after that
    time.  A car may replace any of its tires during race day with a previously
    marked tire without penalty.  If a marked tire is replaced with a new tire for
    ANY reason at any time after qualifying, the car shall be started at the rear of
    each remaining event for that race day.

  • There will not be a change to the ASCS intake gasket rule at this time.  
    However, this issue will be revisited when more data is available at a later
    date.

  • The Madera Speedway Schedule should be out very soon.  Please check the
    track website for details

Thanks to everyone for participating in the meeting.
