Evergreen Reunion taking shape for June 14
In conjunction with round #3 of the PA Asphalt Modified Champ Series, Mountain Speedway, Formerly known as Evergreen Raceway will host its first annual “Evergreen Reunion” on Saturday, June 14. Also on the card for the evening are the late models, street stocks and thrillers. The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing will also be on hand.
After the 1999 season, Evergreen Raceway became Mountain Speedway, under the promotion of Hazleton’s Joe Callavini.
Currently, the speedway is going through the archives and attempting to gather a group of past racers and champions from Evergreen Raceway for the first annual affair.
After approval from speedway staff, any past division champion will be able to enter the pit area, free of charge. Past competitors are encouraged to participate, and are asked not only to support the speedway at present, but also to help preserve the rich racing history at the popular racing venue.
All champions prior to the 1999 season are eligible and are asked to contact Gene Ostrowski, the speedway media relations person at gjtost@verizon.net for the proper sign up form. Drivers of the past who would like to participate will need to fill out the form as well. Prior to the reunion, forms will also be available at the track on race day.
Any drivers who have won a championship prior to 1999, yet are still racing and plan to compete on June 14, will need to purchase a pit pass for the evening. However, those drivers will receive one free grandstand pass for a family member.
Both past champions and competitors of the past will be introduced throughout the evening. They will also meet and greet the fans and sign autographs.
Don’t let it pass you by. The reunion begins in less than a month. With plenty of the speedways past talent present, along with a full slate of racing planned, the Evergreen Reunion should help bring back many memories to any racing fanatic- fan or racer.
