directly from the qualifying speeds. Each driver, up to a maximum of 36
starters, will be guaranteed $200 for qualifying and starting the
feature event.
The Rigg's Industries Pro Truck division will also be highlighted with
the running of a 50-lap feature event, with race winnings totaling close
to $3,500 dollars. These race trucks have been the hottest division in
local racing, with entry fields doubling and tripling over the past
couple of seasons. The starting grid will be taken from time trials,
with the fastest qualifier receiving an additional $150 dollars, and up
to 30 race starters pocketing at least $140 dollars. This race payout
will be one of the largest offered to these teams, with the winner
earning a cool $700 dollars, and along with the notoriety of winning
such a special event, their numbers will also be at a maximum for this
night of racing.
If these two races were not enough, the PA Legacy Car division will host
its "Blue & Gray Shootout", featuring drivers from the local area, as
well as those from across the entire East Coast. These downsized
racecars with a tube framed chassis and Mazda powertrain can obtain race
speeds rivaling those of the Late Models, and with the addition of
touring division regulars, this will be one race you won’t want to miss.
Along with these three special racing events, the Wheeler
Brothers-AC/Delco Modified, Brown Timber and Land Street Stock, and
Charger divisions will also be in action, with the chance for each to be
a big part of this special night of racing action.
