It’s become an all too familiar scene this season it seems. For the seventh time at Lehighton’s Mahoning Valley Speedway the races has been cancelled due to a rain forecast.
Promoter Floyd Santee had to make the difficult decision yet again as the National Weather Service is calling for rain showers to start after 4:00 pm and continue throughout the evening, thus leaving no choice but to pull the plug on what was to be a great evening of stock car racing, highlighted by a 75-lap/$900-to-win Street Stock feature plus an additional Hobby Stock make-up from August 19.
Thus far close to half of this season’s Saturday night shows have been halted by rain.
There is no word as of yet for the August 19 Hobby Stock make-up feature as track officials will be looking over the remaining dates to find a feasible slot.
Next Saturday, September 9 at 6:00 pm with be all regular track classes plus the rained-out August 19 Modified feature will run. And, the Pro 4s will be contesting in a 40-lap/$400-to-win main event. Adult general admission is $14.
On Saturday, September 16 Mahoning Valley Speedway is looking forward to paying homage to former driving great Bill Teel, a three time Modified track champion and an owner champion who passed away in 2012.
The Bill Teel Memorial 4-16s is going to see the Modifieds racing in 16-lap features paying $1016 to win each plus the overall winner will receive an additional $1016, a custom trophy and a guaranteed starting spot for the season ending Octoberfast 200 on October 28.
Along with the Modifieds for the Teel race will be all regular track classes plus the ATQMRA TQ Midgets. Adult general admission is $16.
