After a week filled with a variety of racing activities almost daily for the staff of Shellhammer’s Speedway at the Reading Fair, it is time for them to head back home for their normal evening of Saturday Racing. Mother Nature is trying to make it difficult on them or assist them by offering some additional water to the racing surface prior to the start of tonight’s activities. Which ever way you look at it, racers are preparing for tonight’s activities with high hopes of getting the action in and as always the phenomenal staff of Shellhammer’s will do their best to work with what ever Mother Nature throws at them so the show goes on as planned.
Tonight’s events will feature the regular Champ Kart, Flat Kart, Xcel Modified and Slingshot Divisions and the fans will also be treated to the PA Mini Pro Tractors and the Vigilante 350 classes. Families can enjoy seeing warm ups, qualifying and feature action for 20 divisions where kids 12 and under are free and everyone else is only $7 each to enter the grandstand area. Any age may enter the pits and they are $15 each to enter and be up close to the cars and drivers putting on a great show for the fans each week.
There is still time to pre-register for this year’s Summer Spectacular! Racers have until August 25 to take advantage of additional savings. Open Practice will be held Friday evening from 7-9 PM with pit passes being only $5 for that evening. Then there will be entertainment from 9-11 including live music provided by Better Than Nothing. Then on Saturday, the racers will hit the track to take their chance at big purses! Animal Champ Light and Heavy classes will pay the Feature winner $750 while the Flathead Champ Light and Heavy, Flathead 350 and 375 and Rookie Blue Champ Light and Heavy classes are paying $500 to win their respective feature events. The Clone 375 class will be racing for $250 to win. Pre-Registration forms are available and attached to this release.
Gates open at 2:30 pm Saturday afternoons. REGISTRATION IS 3:30 TO 5:00 PM. Warm-up/practice session starts at 5:00 pm. Call-in entries can be made up to 5:00pm and drivers will be placed in their original starting position. (If after 5:00 pm, driver will start in the rear of their class.)
