HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY READY FOR SUNDAY, MARCH 17 OPENER

HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY READY FOR MARCH OPENING

HAGERSTOWN, MD – With March only several days away, Hagerstown Speedway is ready to get underway with two big shows during the month, the first being the postponed Buchanan Auto Park Brawl in the Fall set for Sunday, March 17 and the first of four Three State Flyers Super Late Model Series events on Saturday, March 30.

The actual opening non-race event will be the 28^th Annual Race-A-Rama at the Hagerstown Valley Mall and runs the entire week from March 4^th to the 9^th.

That will be followed on Saturday March 16^th with a Community Yard Sale and Swap Meet at 8 a.m. that is free to the public. Later at 1 p.m., the first of two Tune and Test sessions will be held for all classes of racers. There is an additional Tune and Test session on March 23^rd.

Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy interfered at the end of last season while trying to run the Brawl in the Fall. So late in the season and with the postponed date not suitable to many, postponing to the opening program of 2013 met the approval of the driver majority. Sunday, March 18^th with a rain date of the following Sunday, the 24th was reserved for the completion of this event. Fields are already set in the late model and 410 sprints, however Last Chance Qualifiers for the big block modifieds and 358 sprints will be spun off first to fill six starting positions in the big blocks and five in the 358 sprint feature.

Warm-ups begin at 1:00 p.m. and features at 2:00 p.m. Event order will be Last Chance Qualifiers, 410 Sprints (30 Laps), Big Block Modifieds (50 Laps), 358 Sprint (30 Laps) and Late Models (50 laps)

On Saturday the 30^th, along with an Easter Egg Hunt for the children, the Three State Flyers late models will be in action for a 35-lap feature along with the Ernie D’s pure stocks. Both are the first point events of the season. Warm-ups begin at 6:30 p.m.
