MINERSVILLE, PA - Big Diamond Speedway returns to action this Friday on the heels of its first 2011 event run 'under the lights' on April 29.
A tabletop smooth clay surface greeted racers last Friday as 'The Professor' Glenn Strunk of Bechtelsville, Pa. (The Station House 358-Modifieds), Paul Kline of Reading, Pa. (U.S.S. Achey Sportsman) and Kevin Olenick of Forestville, Pa. (Wooden Keg Tavern Roadrunner) visited Victory Lane, all for the first time in 2011 at the Schuylkill County oval. Drivers in all divisions praised the new Big D surface in its first nighttime test.
The second Community Night of the season takes place this Friday (May 6) for a three-division show of 358-Modifieds (qualifying and 25-lap feature), Sportsman (qualifying and 20-lap feature) and Roadrunners (qualifying and 20-lap feature). Residents of Valley View, Hegins, Fountain and Klingerstown will receive discounted admission - $10 with proof of residence - as part of the community driven program.
