Charlene Meents, a longtime officer, and race official for the MARA midgets served in all capacities, including President during her 27 years of active tenure. During this time, she was instrumental in some keynote races that took place in the 1980s and 1990s. In addition to great races at tracks like Little-Belleville, Macon, and Pevely, just to name a few, she was also a big factor in MARA’s involvement in races such as the Belleville Nationals, the Wolverine Nationals, and the first running of what is now the Chili Bowl Nationals.

With bonus money up for grabs for heat race winners, the highest competitor in passing points, non-transfers, hard-chargers, as well as lap sponsors, and a $5000 payday to the midget feature winner Saturday night all the top stars and cars should be at I-44 Riverside on October 14-15.
