improvements to the Farley Speedway over the course of the 2002 season. This
included widening the racing surface in turns one and two. The track is now at
least 40 feet wider than in years past allowing several lanes of racing. In
addition the new Musco lighting system was put in place and utilized the first
time early in July. Additional VIP suites were constructed prior to the
opening of the season. A new 80’ x 200’ ballroom will be utilized for the first
time at the “Yankee”. The all purpose facility will host post race parties and
breakfast will be served Friday and Saturday mornings during the “Yankee”.
The on track action will get underway
on Wednesday, September 11th with three classes of cars in action.
