Evergreen Postpones “March Madness” Enduros; Revises Four Banger Sunday Format
(March 13, 2017) — St. Johns, PA — Due to the severity of the storm that is predicted to slam the east coast, Evergreen Raceway has decided to postpone their “March Madness” Enduros to Sunday, March 26.
“I’d rather make this decision early and allow for teams to plan for the next show”, noted speedway promoter, Jason Makarewicz.
“The last thing that anyone wants is for someone to have an accident on the way to the track or as they’re headed home. This way it’ll give everyone time to prepare for the final event of our Triple Crown Series.”
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.
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 has been extended to March 23.
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.
Prior to the schedule revision, the track planned on hosting an event called “Four Banger Sunday”. That event is now pushed out to Sunday, April 9. The divisional format has been adjusted and the divisions on the card are the Evan’s Roadhouse Four Cylinders and the Wheel’s Bar & Grill Junior Four Cylinders. The regular Four Cylinder feature will be 40 laps and Thanks to J & K Auto Service and Race Fab, Big Al’s Subpar Sandwich Shop, Lehigh Valley Grand Prix and Talk Shirty to Me, the winner will take home $400. The Legends and Bandoleros were originally scheduled. However, due to work that is needed on the apron of the track, those divisions have been replaced with a 40-lap “Soccer Mom 40” minivan Enduro.
Those who wish to compete in the Soccer Mom 40 event will be charged a $40 registration fee on race day. Drivers are to follow the regular Enduro event rules for the event. The payout will be based on the speedway’s standard Enduro payout sheet, based on car count.
The pit gates on Sunday, April 9 will swing open at 10:30 AM. Four Cylinder 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 and transponder rental fee is $10.
