Above normal temperatures in late winter have Mountain Speedway drivers, management and fans excited about the start of the 2012 season at the 1/3-mile asphalt oval. Two practice dates will start the new season and give racers the opportunity to test his or her cars to hopefully find the prime set up for opening day.
The first practice date is slated for Sunday, April 1st and the second is scheduled for the following Saturday, April 7th. Any type of car that competes during the regular season at the speedway is welcome to take advantage of the practice time, and if the weather continues to bless the racing community like it has, it should be a great time for folks to come out to get their short track racing fix.
The pit fee for practice will be announced on the speedway website and the grandstand admission for practice dates is free for all ages.
Two opening weekends of action are slated with points paying time trials on Saturdays, followed with feature events on Sundays. Mountain Madness Enduro Series events are also on the card and will accompany the time trial events both Saturdays.
The first weekend of action is scheduled for Saturday, April 14 with time trials for the Sport Modifieds, Late Models and Factory Stocks, plus a 100-lap 6/8-cylinder car enduro is scheduled. With a cone style race format, feature events for the Sport Modifieds, Late Models and Factory Stocks will take place on Sunday, April 11. The INEX Legends and Bandoleros are also on the card for the Sunday afternoon show.
The second weekend of action is scheduled for Saturday, April 21 with time trials for the Tour Type Modifieds, Street Stocks and 4-Cylinder Stocks. A 100-lap four-cylinder car enduro is planned for the afternoon. Following the cone style format, the feature events for the Tour Type Modifieds, Street Stocks and 4-Cylinder Stocks will be held on Sunday, April 22. The INEX Legends and Bandoleros are also on the card for the Sunday afternoon show.
All of the divisional rules have been released for this season and drivers are working hard to be prepared for what will hopefully be a great season for them at Mountain Speedway.
Mountain Speedway is just minutes from Hazleton, Pa, located on St. John’s Road, between Routes 93 and 309. Grandstand admission for all regular events is just $12 for ages 11 and older. Children 10 years of age and younger are admitted for free.
