BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY CANCELLED FOR TONIGHT - RACING SCHEDULED FOR THIS SUNDAY

Mother Nature proved once again she is not a race fan, with a near 100% of rain showers forcing Big Diamond Speedway to cancel their racing events for this evening.  That makes 3 out of the last 4 Friday evenings where wet weather put a damper on local racing events.

The Sportsman division has been affected the most by the rainouts - going 0 for 3 for their scheduled racing events on the 3/8 mile oval.  Because of this, management has decided to run a special Sunday afternoon show for the USS Achey Sportsman and Savage 61 Roadrunner divisions this coming Sunday, April 27th.  Gates will open at 11:30 AM for this special event, with warm-ups at 1:00 PM and the first heat scheduled to hit the track at 1:30 PM sharp.  This will be a non-points event for both division, and both Hoosier and American Racer tires will be legal for this event.  If the Sportsman division gets more than 24 cars, the 20 lap feature event will pay $1,000 to win.  If the car count is 24 or less cars, the winners share will be reduced to $600 to win.

Grandstand admission for this event will be a flat rate of $10.00 per person.  As always, kids 12 and under are admitted free of charge.  Pit participation fees are $30.00 for members and $40.00 for non-members.

The following Friday, May 2nd, racing returns to Big Diamond Speedway featuring the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic 358 Modifieds, Jeremy Slifko Fabrication Services Late Models, and Savage 61 Roadrunners, along with the EXCEL 600cc Modifieds.  Gates open at 5 PM, warm-ups are at 7:45 PM, and the first heat hits the track at 8:15 PM.
