Atlantic Battery and Amy D Holmes Medicare Consultant

Sunday April 7, 2019 the East Coast TQs will be hosting their first annual Promotional day at Mahoning Valley Speedway from noon to 4pm with gates opening at 11 am.  The Green Flag Driving Experience will have three cars on hand to give prospective drivers, fans, car owners and crew members a chance to get a taste of driving a TQ Midget on the Mahoning Valley quarter mile oval.  The Green Flag cars will be on display at Mahoning Valley for their opening night and the track will be giving away 5 “Experiences" to fans on Saturday the 6th.  The 7th will also be an open practice for the East Coast TQ midgets.  Each team is encouraged to bring a covered dish for a picnic in the pits.  Anyone interested in Driving a TQ Midget can reach out to Blu Metz 610-217-2593.   

The success of Promotional days at quarter midget tracks and their subsequent boost in memberships prompted the East Coast TQs to follow their lead and partner with Gary Conklin at the Green Flag Driving Experience to give prospective drivers, car owners and fans alike the opportunity to drive a TQ Midget.  The specially prepared Green Flag TQ Midgets that are a staple at Wall Stadium will be on hand at Mahoning Valley on Sunday April 7th from noon to 4 pm to give people interested in the Experience of driving a TQ Midget a chance to get behind the wheel.



Gary Conklin of Green Flag will have the specially prepared cars on hand at Mahoning Valley the Saturday April 6th, the day preceding the promotional day for the tracks opening night of racing.  Fans in attendance that night will have a chance to win one of five “Experiences” for Sunday the 7th.  All safety equipment will be provided from the Nomex uniform to the helmet and head and neck restraint. 



Anyone interested in participating in the Promotional Day at driving a TQ Midget can Contact Blu Metz at 610-217-2593to reserve their spot.  



The East Coast TQ Midgets will be using the day as an open practice for the organization giving veteran teams and teams new to the organization a chance to test and tune their cars to the ultra-challenging Mahoning Valley Oval in a fun supportive environment.  We expect to have a handful of cars at the track that are available for sale for prospective car owners to kick the tires in person.  Anyone with cars they would like to sell are encouraged bring their equipment to the track.  



Everyone coming to participate in the promotional day is encouraged to bring a covered dish for a party in the pits with the East Coast TQs.  We are actively seeking Marketing partners interested in presenting their product to the membership of the East Coast TQ Midgets.
