With the National Weather Service calling for a severe thunder storm watch for later today, officials at Mahoning Valley Speedway made the call to cancel the scheduled racing activities for the evening. A full slate of stock car events was to take place along with the touring Micro Stocks

The highlight of the night was a special 35-lap feature race for the 4-Cylinder Stock division. That race, which pays $400 to win, has been rescheduled for Saturday, September 22, which also includes a Ladies Race sponsored by Himmer Graphics of Lake Ariel. The gals will compete with the same class of cars.

Coming up next Saturday night, September 15, will be the Harold Lloyd Memorial 76 for the Modifieds. The race winner will earn $2500 plus there is bonus money via lap sponsors. Regular handicapping by way of heat races will determine the 22-car starting grid for this race which will be contested over a distance of 76 laps.

Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods and 4-Cylinder Stocks are also on the card.

Gates open at 4:00 pm with racing starting at 6:00.
