March to Bring Racing Back to Evergreen Raceway
St. Johns, PA (3/5/2017) Spring is just around the corner, which means that drivers and racing fans alike are antsy to get back to Evergreen Raceway. Although the speedway already held two of their three ‘Triple Crown Series’ shows, warmer weather is expected to help boost the third and final event of the series on Saturday, March 18. Less than a week after that event, Evergreen will be back in action with “Four Banger Sunday” on Sunday, March 26.
Fans that attend “March Enduro Madness” won’t only see each event winner, but also the final Triple Crown Series champions for the 4-Cylinder and 6/8-Cylinder Enduro divisions.
This event will take place, rain, snow, sleet or shine. It will only get postponed if the weather and road conditions to the track are simply too dangerous for driver and spectator travels to the speedway.
Drivers can save $10 by pre-registering. The pre-registration fee is $40 per event. If drivers are not pre-registered on race day, the fee to compete is $50. The pre-entry deadline is March 15.
Upon arrival at the track, drivers will pull pills for their starting positions. All pre-registered drivers will start ahead of those who were not pre-registered. All drivers must visit the track office upon arrival to the track. Each driver will receive a slip with their starting position. Any pre-registered driver(s) who are not present for the drivers meeting will have to start at the rear of the field. No exceptions.
The pit gates will swing open for all of the series events at 10 AM. The drivers meeting will take place at 12 noon and racing will kick off at 1:00 PM.
Grandstand admission for each event is just $5. Pit admission is $25 and the transponder rental fee is $10.
A pre-season nonpoints exhibition show called “Four Banger Sunday” is slated for Sunday, March 26. The Legends, Bandoleros will be on the card, along with the speedway’s regular Evan’s Roadhouse Four Cylinders and Wheel’s Bar & Grill Junior Four Cylinder divisions. The legends and Four Cylinders will run heat races and a 40-lap feature. The Junior Four Cylinders will also run heat races, followed by a 20 lap feature. The number of laps for the Bandoleros will be determined on race day.
The pit gates on Sunday will swing open at 10:30 AM. Practice will kick off at 12:30 PM and racing will begin at 2 PM. The grandstands will open at 11 AM. Grandstand admission is just $5 for adults and free for kids 12 years of age and younger. Pit admission is $35.
With the track actively seeking additional sponsorship for the special show, it’s more than likely that drivers will see an increase in purse money as well.
