Night Racing “Under the Lights” at the SSP Outback Track on Friday, October 10

Newberrytown, PA (October 7, 2008) The first night race “under the lights” for the SSP Outback Track is set for Friday, October 10. The pit gates will open 5:00 p.m. with a driver’s meeting at 6:30 a.m. Open practice begins at 6:40 p.m. and racing at 7:00 p.m. Gearing the “Outback Track” to the youth, the inside is 1/10 mile with the outer perimeter measuring 1/7 mile.

The classes for both the karts and quarter midgets will be developed as the summer season progresses.

There will be minor changes that will be announced as the season progresses. The entry fees for each class will be $15.00 per entry and participants may enter more than one class on a raceday.

Everyone with a pit pass from the race event at the Outback Track will receive the Repeat Fan Discount for that evening’s racing events. There is a $2.00 repeat fan discount for each person with a ticket stub from races during the previous week’s events completed only. Returning fans are encouraged to write their name, address and phone number on the back of the stub to be entered into special drawings during and at the end of the season for great prizes. The Repeat Fan Discount is not valid for pit pass purchases.
