Exciting Racing Action at the SSP Outback Track on Saturday
Newberrytown, PA (August 23, 2008) The race event for the SSP Outback Track had plenty of exciting action all day long on a very well prepared and smooth race track on Saturday, August 23. Class winners include Austin Deibler (Quarter Midgets); Garrett Updike (Jr. Sportsman II Karts - Blue Plate); John Brown (Outlaw Adult Karts) and Chase Donley (Kid Karts / Pee Wee).
Racing action at the Outback Track returns on Saturday, August 30. The pit gates will now open 11:00 a.m. with a driver’s meeting at 12:15 p.m. Open practice begins at 12:30 p.m. and racing at 1:00 p.m. On Saturday, all heats will be increased to 8 laps and the features will be 15-20 laps (depending on class and entry count). Gearing the “Outback Track” to the youth, the inside is 1/10 mile with the outer perimeter measuring 1/7 mile. The turns are 75 feet wide with the straight approximately 50 feet in width.
Admission prices for the Outback Track will be $8.00 for everyone ages 8 & older; Children 7 years of age and under will be $2.00. Hand held infants are admitted free.
The classes for both the karts and quarter midgets will be developed as the summer season progresses. 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). 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. Trophies will be awarded to the top three in each class. No participants will be denied racing during the summer season. SSP will make every effort to define a class for all drivers who wish to compete.
Everyone with a pit pass from the Open Practice 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.
