The Allen County Fairgrounds, host of the Lima Half-Mile, will again be running a test & tune for riders in the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Grand National Championship season this coming Sunday, June 9.
As was announced by AMA Pro Flat Track today, the track will be open to teams and riders who wish to utilize the facility in preparation for the upcoming Ohio National Championship round of the 2013 season coming up on Saturday, June 29 in what will now be round 4 of the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Grand National Championship season (due to the fact that the original round 4, the Springfield Mile I was postponed to the Labor Day weekend because of inclement weather.)
This will be the second test & tune of the season after the Stockton Half-Mile hosted a session back in late April for the riders and teams wanting to acclimate themselves for round 3 of the season.
You can check out the full press release below from AMA Pro Flat Track to get all of the particulars for this weekend's session.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 4, 2013) - One of the easiest ways to tell that summer is quickly approaching is when the Lima Half-Mile is next up on the AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles schedule. In recent years, the Allen County Fairgrounds and its uniquely designed pea gravel dirt track has played host to the legendary Lima Half-Mile in late June and always puts on an impressive display of some of the most competitive dirt track racing in the world.
