Back Pack Night gets rained out after intermission

By Greg Soukup

Unfortunately, Back Pack Night presented by Colby Ridge was rained out just as the NAPA IMCA Sport Modified B Feature was lining up. Threatening weather had been seen approaching “America’s Home Track” Eagle Raceway throughout the evening, and just after the young fans had been treated to rides in actual race cars on the high banks the skies opened up and called a halt to racing for the evening.  We got all heat races in for the evening, so there will not be any rain checks issued.  This is our policy which is posted at the front ticket booth and on our website.

There will be no racing on the big track the weekend of August 13th and 14th as Maxxis and Uncle Frank’s presents the Midwest Champion Kart Series Kart Nationals will be held at Mini E Raceway.Visit http://www.eagleraceway.com/LittleEagle/?p=377 for more information.

Eagle Raceway will be back in action on Saturday August 20th for Junior Fan Club and Scout Night. All Scouts in uniform will receive free front gate admission and there will be a $1000 money grab on the front stretch during intermission for all kids. Happy D Klown will be there from 5:30 ‘til 7:30 and there will be a Happy Hour for the adults from 6-7.  Front Gate Admission: Adults(13+) $10, Youth(12 & under) Free. (there are no rain checks from 8-6-11)  Front gates open at 5:30, hot laps start at 5:30 with racing at 6:30. Action for the Budweiser 360 Sprints, RevHoney IMCA Modifieds, NAPA IMCA Sport Modifieds, Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks and Exhaust Pros IMCA Sport Compacts will kick off with make-up features in all classes followed by a full program for all of the competitors. Double the action for one low price!!
