Car show and practice canceled; season opener up next for Independence Motor Speedway
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa - Mother Nature has let it be known - winter is not quite over.
Due to recent snowfall and cold temperatures combined with more precipitation in the forecast for the rest of the week, the annual car show and practice scheduled for April 14 at Independence Motor Speedway have been canceled. The already once-rescheduled events have been dropped from the 2007 schedule.
The opening night of weekly racing, sponsored by eCreative Group of Independence and set for Saturday, April 21, is now scheduled to kick off the 2007 season. I.M.C.A.-sanctioned late models, modifieds, stock cars and hobby stocks, along with unsanctioned B modifieds, will headline weekly racing on the 3/8-mile oval.
Admission prices for 2007 remain unchanged from last season. Adult grandstand admission is $10, students 12-17 $7, kids 6-11 $2, and children five and under free. Weekly pit passes remain at $20 with the purchase of a $5 insurance card required upon an individual's first visit.
Gates will open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 6 and the first green flag set to fall at 6:30.
For more information, contact race director Denny Bell at (319) 334-0478 or visit the track's web site at www.independencemotorspeedway.com. On race day, call (319) 334-9287.
