MARA - Midget Auto Racing Association

• dirt track racing organizations

The original MARA series, known as the Midwest Auto Racing Association, was conceived in the summer of 1977 in Springfield, IL. Under the direction of its first President, Dean Helmick, and a six member Board of Directors, MARA sanctioned its first auto race that summer at the Champaign County Fair, Champaign, IL. At that event, which featured 27 competing drivers, the thrust of MARA originated. Only one more race would be held that first year, but from that basic beginning, MARA rose to the one of the top midget organizations in the United States.

It was the last event of the year with Sparks holding a slim 21 point lead over Mark McMahill in the championship battle. Parked on the infield early in the A-Main with McMahill currently in first place, Sparks was forced to helplessly watch his title aspirations slip away, only to see a glimmer of hope as the laps wound down.
