Visits from the Atlantic Coast Old Timers and the 4C Modifieds also help fill the great schedule that Mountain Speedway has to offer for 2012 and other events will be added, such as big wheel races for the kids and fan nights at the speedway.

Following the annual season-ending “King of the Mountain” event in October, the North East Late Model Association will return in with the running of its NELMA Late Model Challenge.

Most of the divisional rules have been released for this season and the divisions that haven’t been updated will be finished within the next week. All rules can be downloaded from the speedway website.
