Yes! It is true! Jim Morton the former general manager at Wall is renting the track from the owners in order to run the two day Turkey Derby event. It will be basically the same format as in recent years and Jim Morton is talking with ATQMRA in order to get them on the card as well. The track's website link is below and this was also confirmed in Area Auto Racing News with an article by Earl Krause who was one of the announcers at Wall. I am happy to see the track come back to life even if it is only two days. Thetwo days are very important since by running two races the property retains its zoning rights to operate as a race track next year so even if the track doesn't have a '2009' season they could still have another Turkey Derby but I guess will have to take it one year at time.

Here's a flash, I believe they were racing at Wall today (10/26/08)! Don't know what was running as I was across the street smacking some little white balls with a stick, but I could hear the commentary and the engines and they were definitely running something.
