“King of the Mountain” moved to next weekend
St. Johns, PA (9/27/08)- Based on the predicted weather forecast, making the decision to race, or not to race, has been the norm lately for the track officials at Mountain Speedway. The weather really put a damper on some of the bigger shows lately, including the running of the 9th annual King of the Mountain. The event, which was slated for the weekend of September 27 & 28 has now been moved in its entirety to the weekend of October 3, 4 & 5.
Due to a schedule conflict, the ATQMRA midgets will run Sunday.
The next Mountain Madness enduro, which was scheduled for October 5, has been moved to Saturday, October 11.
