Re 99ZYEIiRBOOKAReA

The Automobile Racing Club of America AReA) was

founded in 1953 by pioneering auto racing businessman JohnMarcum . Prior to found ing his own sanction ing body, Marcumserved an apprenticeship under Bill France Sr., the founderof NASCAA. Combin ing years of experience racing stockcars and officiating NASCAR and USAC race events, Marcum's organization grew and increased in stature with its firstof 30 annual appearances to date at Daytona 11 11 1SpeedwayIn 1964 al the invitation of France . As the sport of auto racingprogressed and advanced, AReA adapted to the changesand remains a leading sanc1ioning body in the United Stales .The most visible and faste st growing se ries under AReAsanction is the AReA Supercar Series of stock cars whichannually runs day-before events on NASCAR Winston Cuprace weekends and is seen nationally on ESPN televisionand broadcast nationally on MRN radio . The Supercar Ser iesboasts 20 events at some of the most prestigious facilities inthe country and 1.8 million in posted awards in 1991. ARCAenters its 5th decade of racing with more touring series activitythan at any time in its history . This Yearbook is for and aboutARCA 's th ree additional touring series- -lhe ARCA MidgetSe ries, ARCA Figure8 Series and ARCA Pro-4 Series.

AReA MIDGET SERIESThe ARCA Midget Series of the 1990s was founded in

1980 as the World Wide Auto Racing (WWAR) club by currentseries director Dave Bruce . After promoting many open-wheelmidget even ts in Michigan and Oh io Bruce saw the need in1979 to create a sanction ing body for the division which couldorganize eve nts for promoters in the Michigan-Ohio-Indianaregion . Developing his concept into action, the Midget Seriesconducted i ts initial event on July 22 , 1979 at Flat Rock Speedway in Michigan. While the ma jority of Ihe se rie s ' events havebeen contested on the midwest s hort tracks , a southern series

AReA FIGURE-8 SERIESThe ARCA Figure-8 Series actually had its beginnings in

1962, when the first figure -8 racing event at Flat Rock Speedway was run under the sanction of MARC (the forerunner toARCA). Throughout the '60s and 70s, weekly ARCAsanc tioned figure-8 racing was conducted at Flat Rock Speedway, Toledo Speedway , and MI. Clemens Race Track . Meanwhile, Spartan Speedway in Lansing was developing its ownreputation as a premier figure8 track under promoters TomKestenholtz , then Paul and Dorothie Zimmerman. By 1980 ,the Zimmermans had developed a yearend event dubbedthe Michigan State Championship, drawing most 01 the topcompelilors from the ARCAsanctioned track in Flat Rock ,and by 1987 it had grown to a 3-event series at Spartan . In1988 the ARCA Figure-8 division continued to run weekly atFtat Rock Speedway, but also competed at Spartan and the2 tracks hosted the first -ever ARCA Figure-8 Champion s hipSe ries. Former ARCA Figure-8 driver Ric Kargel posted apoint lund through his Quality Clutches business , and sincethat time events have been run at Kil Kare Speedway in Ohio,Galesburg Speedway in Michigan and Spartan and Flat Rock .The 1992 series will see events at Flat Rock , Spartan andGalesburg , with some 45 ,000 in posted awards. The successof the series can be attributed 10 the quality of the race cars ,the talent of the drivers and the retative uniqueness 01ligure8racing today: of 800 rac e lacil ities in the United States, lessthan 25 run figure8s on a weekly basis.

AReA PRO-4 SERIESThe ARCA Pro-4 Series had its origin in the super-compact

class, which ran weekly at the Columbus Motor Speedwayin the early 1980s. The supercompacts we re 4-cylinder carsbuilt from street cars and converted to race cars. BillyBuxton,now the technical inspector Of the ARCA Pro-4 Series, introduce d the first ~ t u b e car--constructed from the ground up
