Saturday May 23, 2009

 

Newberrytown, PA (May 22, 2009) – Another great night of racing with more new winners in victory lane took place for the fifth round of the Spring Shoout-Out Series at the SSP Outback Track on Friday night, May 22.   

 

Quarter Midget class winners include Matthew Donley – York Haven, PA (120 Honda Junior Blue); Aimee Getgen – Etters, PA (120 Honda Junior Red); Kasey Kreider – Salunga, PA (3hp Briggs Junior Unrestricted and 3hp Briggs Senior Light); Kyle Craker – Lewisberry, PA (120 Honda Junior Unrestricted); Katie Dorsey – Thurmont, MD (120 Honda Senior Light); Chase Gutshall – Middletown, PA (160 Honda Senior Light); Matt Swift – Lebanon, PA (160 Honda Senior Light); Jonathan Swift – Lebanon, PA (5hp Briggs Senior Stock) and Darren Schott – Myerstown, PA (Briggs World Formula).

The next open practice session on Wednesday night, June 3 will be open to all classes of karts and quarter midgets.   All  practice participants should enter via the back gate on Kise Mill Road (exit gate during Outback Track races).  On Wednesday night, the back gate will open at 5:30 p.m. with practice from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  The cost is $20.00 per driver (who practices on the track) and no charge for anyone else entering the pit area for the open practice sessions.

 

The next race of the Spring Shoot-Out Series will be Friday night, May 29.  The pit gates will still open 5:00 p.m. with a driver’s meeting at 7:15 p.m.  Open practice will be from 6:45p.m. to 7:10 p.m. and racing action begins at 7:30 p.m.  There will be no sanctioning body affiliation for either karts or quarter midgets, but the technical/specification rules will be very similar to the major sanctioning groups for these types of cars (W.K.A. and QMA).  The entry fees for each class will be $15.00 per entry and 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.  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 races at the Outback Track will be $8.00 for everyone ages 15 & older; Children ages 9 – 14 are $5.00; Children 8 years of age and under are $3.00.  Hand held infants are admitted free.   

 

The 10-race Summer Shoot-Out Series will begin on Friday, June 17 and conclude on Saturday, August 28.  Special races during the fall will be announced in the future.  There will be separate point champions crowned from both the Spring and Summer Shoot-Out Series.

 

Everyone with a pit pass from the Outback Track will receive the $2.00 Repeat Fan Discount towards grandstand tickets for the next night’s racing events at the “Big Track.”  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 at the “Big Track.”

 

The Susquehanna Speedway Park is located off I-83 to exit 32, then 1.4 miles NW on SR382 to York Road, then 1.3 miles south.  For more information, contact the speedway offices at (717) 292-1696 or visit online at sspracing.net.  On raceday, the Outback Track raceday hotline is (717) 932-1608.  The “Big” track phone is (717) 938-9170 for up-to-date information.
