Mahoning Valley Speedway will open season Saturday

Mahoning Valley Speedway’s opening night is Saturday

Mahoning Valley Speedway’s 2018 season opening night may be one week later than planned but indications are that it will be well worth the wait.

After losing this past weekend’s first race meet to poor weather conditions, the paved ¼-mile oval is in an all-systems-go-mode for Saturday, April 14.

To get things going Mahoning Valley Speedway welcomes Lehighton Ford as an official presenting sponsor for the 2018 regular season. Lehighton Ford is located at 54 Blakeslee Boulevard Drive East in Lehighton, just a few miles east of the race track on PA Route 443.

This coming Saturday’s agenda begins with pit gates opening at 11:30 am. Early paid practice is from 12:30-3:30 p.m. at $25 per car. Driver sign-ins for the night’s action will be from 3-4:15 p.m.. Regular warmups start at 4:30 p.m. Race time is 6 p.m.

Modifieds, Late Models, Street Stocks, Dirt Mods, Pro 4s and Hobby Stocks will run heats and respective features. All will draw for starting heat spots. Features will be lined in a heads up start by heat finishes. Also competing will be the Micro Stocks. The Sportsman Modified class will have their debut on April 21.

Thanks to a number of gracious supporters there will be bicycle giveaways for the kids.

Grandstands open at 4 p.m. Adult admission is $12. There is $2 off for students, seniors 65+, and active military. Children under 10 are free.
