The Montrull’s have a deep connection to Birch Run Speedway as Coty’s Grandfather Don, aka “Pops” was a long-time fixture at the speedway as a car owner and fan. “We focus on buying from auto shops, towing companies, scrap yards and the racing community and then sell them to rebuilders and refineries to resupply places like NAPA, AutoZone, O’Reilly’s and more” said Coty. Motor City Core of Davison, MI (81 and /motorcitycore), owned and operated by Coty and Dallas Montrull, is a leading recycler of starters, calipers, transmissions and torque converters. While the rules haven’t been released, the popularity of these events are leading to bringing them back as the Motor City Core Figure 8 Division, which will be part of the three JEGS/CRA All Stars Tour dates (April 30th, July 2nd and September 10th) and the first Reveal the Hammer Outlaw Super Late Model race on May 6th. Since then, the racing surface has witnessed battles between the Street Stock, Factory Sled, Pure Stock and Enduro style classes. Select visits from the “Motor City Madmen” ARCA Figure 8’s that competed at Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways were the original catalyst for the creation of the track. Trimming de-defines a lot of dimensions, which is why backing up can be useful.Figure 8 To The "Core" at Birch Run in 2022Įver since being built in 1994, the Figure 8 track at Birch Run Speedway has thrilled and entertained spectators and drivers alike. However, the dimensions in my drawing are easy to change.

I did not try to mimic the dimensions in the original drawing, because my computer "barfed" at the number of line segments therein.


I've included a F360 sketch which implements steps 1-4 below. If it doesn't meet your needs, back up with ctl-Z and redo the dimensions.Trim the 4 extraneous elliptical arc segments and fix the resulting two arc segments.Mirror the two tangent lines using a construction line at the origin.Note that these lines will not be fully-defined (they will not "turn black") because multiple tangent solutions exist. Draw two tangent lines between the ovals at the appropriate places, and constrain using tangent constraints.Mirror them into the lower half plane (using a construction line at the origin).Draw two concentric ovals of appropriate size in the (upper) XY plane, Dimension them and dimension their centerpoint so that you have a fully-defined sketch.
