    Track condition updates:

    As of 1 PM, Friday:
    A steady snow continues to fall, however...it is expected to taper off to flurries in the next few hours.
    At that time, we will begin a full scale snow removal assault on the speedway grounds.
    One positive is that the snow is very light and fluffy, and will plow easily. Since we already plowed a majority of the property earlier in the week, it should aid in clearing the snow that has fallen over the last two days.

    Please check back later, as another update will be posted at 6 PM. Anyone who would like to help out, is urged to call the track phone #(570)788-7544.

    Thank You.
    It don't matter if they're booing or cheering, as long as they're making noise!

    ease the TENSION...bring back Willy!

    6 PM update

    Mountain Madness Enduro Postponed to Sunday

    Due to the continued winter weather advisory which remains in effect into Saturday, Sundance Vacations Speedway Officials have been left with no other option, but to delay the Mountain Madness Enduro Series-race #2, originally scheduled for Saturday, 2/27…until Sunday 2/28. Sunday’s program will begin at 2 pm, with pit area opening at 10 am, and grandstands at 1 pm.
    *
    Statement from Promoter Joe Callavini: “Being in the towing business, we are in constant contact with the State Police and Township Officials. We felt that in the best interest of the fans, racers, and track personnel…everyone needed a bit more time to dig out from this last blast of winter. Enduro racing is unique…in that races can be run in any weather conditions. However, we need to get everyone to and from the track…safely. There is no doubt in my mind that both Butler Township and Penndot will be working day and night, to assure the roads are in excellent condition for travel, before Sunday.
    *
    I would like to thank everyone, in advance, for their understanding. This event is special to many people, and we want it to be an overwhelming success.”

    THANK YOU.

    good call

    That big hill leading to the speedway could have been a big problem for the teams with the larger trailers. Make up dates are always ify, but I think the speedway made the right call.

    11 AM - Saturday update...

    The sun has been dancing in and out of the clouds over the speedway this morning, as snow removal continues. The weather is definitely improving as the weekend progresses.

    Dig 'em out, get the covers off, charge the battery, gas 'em up, and GO, GO, GO!!!

    7:00 update

    Mike and Pappy are still plugging away with clearing some of the white stuff for the fans to reach the stands. He said that he plans to be at the track for most of the night, so if anyone has a plow and a few cold ones, stop by...

    And we thought the race in January was fun. More snow and higher temps might just show up the Frostbite enduro
