Wall Stadium Paid Practice Set for Friday, October 23
Wall Stadium promoter Jim Morton says that
competitors planning to compete in October 24 “Tommy Comerford
Memorial” events are eligible to participate in a paid practice
session on Friday, October 23, starting at 3:00 p.m. Morton said
that the practice session will continue into the evening so that
competitors can get ample testing time.
“We are expecting a lot of competitors to be in town early for
the race, so the Friday practice should work well for them,”
Morton said. “We will start the practice at 3:00 p.m. and
continue into the evening. Competitors can arrive when they can.
We will continue to practice as long as the demand warrants.”
The “Tommy Comerford Memorial” will feature two 66-lap main
events for tour type Modified stock cars offering each winner a
cool $6,600 payday. A total purse of $40,000 is up for grabs at
present and that could climb as the event approaches. At
present, over 30 tour type Modified entries have been received.
Also on the day’s agenda will be twin main events for the
Calabreeze Pools Sportsman cars, the Street Stocks and the
Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks. The I.N.E.X. Legend
Cars are slated for a 25-lap main event.
Morton recently released the busy schedule for October 24. Pit
area gates will open at 9:30 a.m. and practice will begin at
10:30 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. The grandstands will open at
11:00 a.m. to the general public, while fans that purchased
during the September 26 presale will have the opportunity to
enter the grandstands at 10:30 a.m.
The first events on the agenda will be the three rain postponed
races from September 26. Those events, 25-lappers for the
Sportsman and Street Stocks and a 20-lapper for the Factory
Stocks, will begin promptly at 1:45 p.m. Next up, at
approximately 2:30 p.m., will be qualifying for the day’s
originally scheduled events.
Then, at 3:45 p.m., the first of a pair of tour type Modified
66-lap features will be contested before the Legend Cars,
Sportsman and Street Stock racers return in 25-lap features. The
tour type Modifieds will then run their second 66-lapper of the
day before the Factory Stocks wrap up the action in a 20-lapper.
Wall Stadium 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 office is open from 10:00 a.m. until
