Kid’s Box Car Racing at SSP This Saturday, August 10

Santa Claus to Make Special Return Visit

Newberrytown, PA (August 8, 2013) – Another exciting night of racing action is on tap for the Susquehanna Speedway Park’s “Big Track” this Saturday night, August 10. Racing action will include the Late Models, Street Stocks, Xtreme Stocks, Road Warriors/Mini Vans, PENNMAR Vintage Cars and the “Blast from the Past” Vintage Cars.

The postponed awards presentation for the SSP Outback Track Spring season will now be on Saturday, August 10 when Kid’s Box Car Racing will be on the card. Prizes will be available for all entrants in the Kid’s Box Car Races. All children ages 10 and under are encouraged to decorate their boxes and compete in the races. A box car is a racecar made out of a box (with their arms, legs and head sticking out). Two family members or friends are needed for the pit crew. This will be a two-(2) lap race (on the frontstretch) with a pit stop. The pit stop will include taking off and putting shoes back on both feet for tire changes, washing the face to clean windshield and drinking a drink for fuel. A brochure for the Kid’s Box car race can be downloaded at www.sspracing.net.

Santa Claus will also be on hand to help out with the festivities. Santa’s visit was postponed by rain at the Christmas in July event last month.

On Saturday, the pit gates will open at 4:30 p.m. Grandstand gates will open at 5:00 p.m. Warm-ups begin at 6:40 p.m. with qualifying races at 7:00 p.m. followed by consolation races and feature events.

On Friday night, August 9 the fifth night of the Summer Shoot-Out Series will be held at the SSP Outback Track for quarter midgets, karts and Adult Speedcars. This will be a special night called “Track Record Breakers” night in which time trials will replace heat racing for the night. Each competitor will have the chance to put their name in the record book as the one-lap record holder for their class. Each competitor will have three laps each to accomplish this high achievement. Qualifying times will also be used to determine the feature starting lineup. The pit gates will open 5:45 p.m. with a driver’s meeting at 7:20 p.m. Open practice begins at 7:00 p.m. and racing action begins at 7:30 p.m. The entry fees for each class will be $20.00 per entry for drivers with the Summer license. Pit pass fees for the driver are included in the entry fee. Non-license driver’s entry fees will be $25.00. Participants may enter more than one class on a raceday ($12.00 for each additional class). Trophies will be awarded to the top three in each class regardless of class entry count. No participants will be denied racing as SSP will make every effort to define a class for all drivers who wish to compete.

Pit pass prices for non-drivers at the Outback Track will be $8.00 for everyone ages 18 & older; Teens & Children ages 11 – 17 are $5.00; Children 10 years of age and under are $3.00. Ages 2 & under are admitted free.

The next Wednesday Night Test & Tune for any type of racecar will be on Wednesday, August 21. The gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with practice sessions rotating for each class from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The cost is $12.00 per person for pit passes and a $20.00 fee for each racecar entering the pit area ($32.00 per car & driver combination). Each session will be 4-6 laps per session depending on car count. The grandstands are open free to the public. Each class will receive 4 to 5 rounds of 4/6 laps each or more if time permits. The fuel pumps from Miller’s Racing Parts will not be open. Anyone needing fuel should contact Miller’s Racing Parts directly at 717-766-0181.
