Wall Speedway, Wall, NJ, Sat. Aug 19
On Saturday, August 19 I went to Wall Speedway to see a show that consisted of Wall’s regular divisions, the TQ midgets and the USAC Northeast Ford Focus midgets. This was the first time the USAC Ford Focus Midgets have ever raced in New Jersey and was the main reason I went. I also really like to see the TQ’s at wall, so that was an added bonus. The admission was $20 which wasn’t too bad for Wall (who normally charges more then most tracks in the area). The racing was pretty good and started on time. None of the divisions needed consi races so that helped move things along. There was one short rain shower though that delayed the action just before the Midgets went out for their main event. The midget race was enjoyable but not as good as I hoped. Wall is a one grove track for almost anything other then a Legend car or TQ midget. I was hoping that a full sized midget race would be more then one grove, but it turned out not to be more then say one and a half grooves. I think “regular” midgets with more difference in horsepower may have put on a better show, but all-in-all the show was very good and I had a fun evening at the “Shore Speedway.”
