The mounting excitement of Mahoning Valley Speedway’s season ending event, the “Octoberfast 2012, Fright Night in the Valley,” continues to grow ever bigger as the Saturday October 27 race day is at hand.

Never has there been so much hype and anticipation for a race at the paved quarter mile oval and rightfully so. With a close to $50,000 purse and race teams coming in from near and far, it stands to be single biggest day in track history.

Three huge features are slated that includes 130 laps for the Modifieds, 75 laps for the Late Models and 100 laps with the Street Stocks.

The Modified winner will earn $5000 with the runner-up collecting $3000 and $2000 for third. 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 b-main will be 25-laps in distance.

The Late Model feature will pay $1500 to win. The Street Stock winner collects $1800. Both those events pay $200 to start.

Because of the high number of teams rolling in, there will be hauler parking taking place on Friday, October 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or later if necessary. There will be no pit passes sold on Friday.

On Saturday at 8:00 a.m. the pit window opens. Practice starts at 11:00 a.m. Grandstands open at 11:00 a.m.

General grandstand admission is $25. Kids 10 years old and younger are free. The Modified entry fee is $50. Street Stock and Late Model entry fee is $25. Pits will be $40.

A special Trick-or-Treat for the youngsters will take place for 30-minutes during intermission behind the scoring tower. All drivers are encouraged to participate.

The weather conditions for Saturday are calling for sunny and warm with highs near 65 degrees and a low of 45 degrees.
