As the “Octoberfast 2012, Fright Night in the Valley,” is quickly approaching, officials at Mahoning Valley Speedway are looking to make the rules simplified as possible in order to best accommodate the expected high entries heading to the Lehighton paved quarter mile oval for the Saturday, October 27 extravaganza.
All cars must comply with safety standards. All race teams must run Mahoning Valley Speedway track tires. Regular home track/touring series rules will be allowed. Ride heights for each class are waved for this race only. No radios or mirrors allowed. All cars must have scanners.
Also, Modified teams will be allotted five tires and they must pit before lap 80 if they wish to make a tire change.
With the richest purse in track history up for grabs, the Octoberfast 2012, Fright Night in the Valley is a must see event.
The Modifieds will race a 130 lap feature, the longest distance ever contested for the headline division.
The winner will earn $5000 with the runner-up collecting $3000. Taking the green will be worth $300.
Plus there will be a $1000 to win B-main if 35 or more cars are pit side. It’s $100 to take the green for that race which basically guarantees every Modified driver a chance to earn money.
The Late Model feature will circle the track for 75 laps and pay $1500 to win. The Street Stockers will be racing in a 100-lapper and award $1800 for first place. Both those events pay $200 to start.
The Octoberfast 2012 will be run on Saturday, October 27 starting at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, October 28 at 2:00 p.m. will be the rain date.
General grandstand admission is $25. Kids 10 years old and younger are free. Pit gates will open at 10:00 a.m. and grandstands at 12:30.
During intermission all kids will be allowed into the pits to Trick-or-Treat.
The Modified entry fee is $50. Street Stock and Late Model entry fee is $25. Pits will be $40.
