Wall Stadium, Sundance Vacations Speedway to share qualifiers for TD and KOTM
More than just being popular with tourists and as a weekend getaway for city folks, the New Jersey shore and the Pocono Mountain region of northeast Pennsylvania will have another exciting trait in common this fall, and this one will be especially appealing to race fans of open wheel Modified racing. For the first time ever, race promoter Jim Morton, of N.J.'s Wall Stadium, and promoter Joe Callavini of Sundance Vacations Speedway in PA, have agreed to share qualifying races for blockbuster year-ending events at both speedways.
This year marks the 10th year that the "King Of The Mountain" championship weekend at Sundance Vacations Speedway located in St. Johns, PA (just north of Hazleton) will take place on Saturday/Sunday, October 10-11, at the popular 1/3 mile oval. This prestigious event has seen many race teams from surrounding states, compete to claim victory and wear the coveted crown. For the 10th anniversary, SVS promoter Joe Callavini has spared no expense and with extra distance/extra money events for all race divisions, any cars fitting the rules are welcome to compete. The KOTM weekend is headlined by the 150 lap, $5000 to win event for the Tour type Modifieds on Sunday, October 11. Saturday evening�s (Oct. 10) race program will showcase the Sport Modifieds in a 100-lap feature event. Also known as "B" mods, these more affordable alternatives to the Tour Type Mods are also known as SK (conn.) or SST (western N.Y.), and are Wall Stadium's top division, where they are known simply as, "Wall Mods".
A Thanksgiving tradition that has become a ritual for race fans and racers across the northeast, Turkey Derby XXXVI is set to go green on Friday/Saturday, November 27-28, at the historic, high banked 1/3 mile Jersey shore oval located on route 34 in Wall, New Jersey. This event has grown enormously under the direction of Wall promoter Jim Morton, and all indications are that this year's event could be the largest to date. The Mighty 600 horsepower Tour type Modifieds will also headline Turkey Derby XXXVI, with a 150-lap event on Saturday, November 28. With a purse that is yet to be determined, this year's Turkey Derby champion will surely be taking home a huge top prize, for their winning efforts. The Wall Modifieds will also be in action and the SK, SST, and SVS Sport Modifieds are all welcome to compete for the right to be named Turkey derby champion, for 2009. Support divisions will also be in action and teams from other tracks are invited to race.
This past weekend, Jimmy "Showtime" Blewett of Howell, N.J. charged from deep in the field, and grabbed the "King Of The Mountain" qualifier at Wall Stadium's twin 50 lap events for the Tour type Modifieds. By virtue of winning the qualifier, a guaranteed starting position for the 10th annual KOTM event awaits "Showtime", who has never competed at the fast 1/3 mile PA. Paved oval. Another qualifier for the "B" Modified portion of the KOTM event at SVS is scheduled as part of this coming weekend's John Blewett III memorial 76 lap event at Wall Stadium. The winner of this event would also receive guaranteed starting status at the Sport Modified 100 lap event, at Sundance Vacations Speedway, for Saturday's portion of the KOTM event.
To return the favor, the winner of both the Sport Modified and Tour type Modified events at Sundance Vacations Speedway's KOTM, would both receive guaranteed starting positions at Turkey Derby XXXVI. This should make the decision for race teams looking to run both events, a little easier to determine there racing schedules for the remainder of the 2009 season. These will surely be two "Do Not Miss" events on your fall racing calendars!
