Newberrytown, PA (November 1, 2007) – The Susquehanna Speedway Park will host a racecar flea market with all forms of racing welcome on Saturday, November 3. Vendor fees are $10.00 per space and setup begins at 6:00 p.m. on Friday night. The gates will be closed at 10:00 p.m. and reopened at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. Plenty of “bargains“ for the 2008 season will be available.
Then on Saturday afternoon, November 10, the Susquehanna Speedway Park will host the 4th Annual Turkey 200. As a bonus attraction, the Great American School Buses, Classic Cars, Penn Mar Vintage Cars and Mini Vans will take to the track before the Enduro event. Fans will also be given complimentary school bus rides around the track at 12:30 p.m. The Enduro event will follow the specifications for the Xtreme Stock Car division that ran weekly at SSP during the 2007 season. Due to high fuel prices, the 200 lap race will be reduced to 150 laps in order to help save the competitors money. Each competitor must supply their own scorer. There will be a separate meeting for all scorers.
