MOTHER NATURE FORCES DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND FOR AUBURNDALE SPEEDWAY
As he came in the track office with rain pouring outside last Saturday evening, Auburndale Speedway owner Rex Guy stated "We've got to get these guys a chance to race again... so we are going to race next Sunday too." Therefore a unique doubleheader weekend will be on tap for this Saturday and Sunday at The 'Dale.
Saturday's schedule will feature a two-segment "King of the Blacktop" 75 lap Sunshine State Challenge Series (SSCS) race for the Modifieds. The teams will run for 40 laps, take a brief break, then return for the final 35-lap segment. L. B. Skaggs currently leads the SSCS Modified point standings by eight points over Eric Rudd. Also on tap will be racing for the Legend Cars, Q Mini Stocks, Scramblers and Mini Cup cars. The Figure-8 cars will also be in action as well.
The Sunday show will be a make-up of the entire September 30th racing program and it will be Harvest Meat Markets Faith & Family Day. Any church members who bring a church bulletin, ID or shirt will receive $5 off the regular adult admission. Also, teen groups and their leaders will be admitted free just by contacting track Marketing Manager Rick Bristol (407-497-0448).
It will also be Big Brother and Big Sister Day as well as they will be conducting the 50/50 raffle to help raise money for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Polk County.
Sunday, the Sunshine State Challenge Series (SSCS) Street-Stocks will compete for 50 laps while the V-8 Bombers will duke it out
for 40 circuits of the speedway. The popular antique and classic Stock Cars, Modifieds, Sprint Cars and Midgets of the Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association (DAARA) will complete a doubleheader weekend of their own that includes a Saturday night show at Citrus County Speedway. There will also be action for the Q Mini Stocks, Scramblers and Mini Cup cars as they will compete both Saturday and Sunday.
