Resurfacing forces March 29th practice
cancellation
March 26, 2007
In an effort to provide the most exciting and
entertaining racing program possible, the management of
Mountain Speedway felt the time has never been better to
repair the older sections of the racing surface.
Work has already begun at the speedway, and a very small
window of opportunity has become a little smaller, as
the weather forecast calls for a mixed bag of
precipitation over the next few days, and temperatures
remaining near freezing through the weekend.
With help from Franzosa Contracting of Pardeesville,
PA., every effort has been made to complete the task in
time for the first practice. However, in order to assure
the proper curing time for the newly laid asphalt, the
right decision is to cancel this weekend’s planned
practice session.
The decision to cancel has been made early to
accommodate the dozens of race teams from surrounding
states who have indicated they will be calling Mountain
Speedway their “Home Track” for 2008. Many of these
teams travel a great distance to compete at the fastest
1/3 mile asphalt oval in the northeast…soon to be even
faster!
Along with the resurfacing of turns three and four,
including the apron, is the grading of the front stretch
area adjacent to victory lane, and the paving of 10
additional parking spots in the pit area. A go kart
track utilizing an inner oval, is also in the works.
We can now look forward, with great anticipation, to the
first weekend in April, as practice will take place from
12 NOON-5:30 PM on Saturday, April 5th, and
Pole Day to follow on Sunday, April 6th, as
timed qualifying will see the top 15 drivers locked in
to the feature event, with the remainder of the field to
transfer through consolation events on opening day,
Sunday, April 13.
