Gents,
The race committee for the 2008 Top 'O Michigan Marathon has decided that if we can get enough entries they would like to add Stock Classics to the APBA sanction. I encouraged them with the idea that a significant group of 40-60 year-old engines might be a great attraction for this years 60th anniversary race. What we envisioned for this introductory year of classic racing would be to run an "exhibition marathon". Two reasons: A shorter 20 minute course that passes through the community of Indian River and reverses at the Breakers Hotel on Mullet Lake to return to the start/finish line would allow first-timers (and old-timers) an opportunity to share in the spectacle of the marathon without having to make significant modifications to the typical short-course runabouts, extra fuel tanks, etc. Also, the timing of the starts of the various groups of marathoners, classics, and "J's" would keep racing in front of the spectators almost continuously for the duration of the marathon.
While there are a couple of local agencies that still must sign off on the idea, it is YOUR committment to join us for the first-ever Stock Classic marathon that will allow this to happen. You need only be a Stock or "Super" licenced APBA racer to enter. Stock Classic is a sub-category within the Stock Category. We would welcome competitors with KG-4, KG-7H, Mark 20H, Mark 30H and Mark 55H. All will compete within your own "class" based on cubic inches. This effort has been initiated on behalf of a bunch of us 20H racers but we want any and all to join us. To date we have 5 confirmed entrants (4 with Mark 20H's). We anticipate many more. Please add your name to the following: Mike Marshall, Jack Stotts, Ian Duggan, Austin Duggan, Steve Roskowski............ Call me for other details at cell 740-319-5040, Mike Marshall, Raceboat61-S
