Memphis Frost Buster canceled

  • March 30, 2007

MEMPHIS, Mo. -- The start to the 2007 racing season at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway will have to wait one more week.

After heavy rainfall on Wednesday night and throughout Thursday and Friday, officials at RL Promotions have been forced to pull the plug on Saturday’s inaugural Frost Buster at the 3/8-mile clay oval speedplant.

But race fans in and around the Memphis, Mo., area won’t have long to wait before the roar of engines once again engulfs the Scotland County Fairgrounds. The season opening event will now be Saturday, April 7, when the high-powered stars and cars of the O’Reilly United States Modified Touring Series invades Memphis for the 2nd Annual Iowa-Missouri Border War.

Saturday’s event will also be the first track points night for the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series featuring USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, Outlaw Hobbys and Hornets.

Gates will open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6 and racing at 6:30. Grandstand admission will be $15 for adults, kids ages 6-12 are $5 and children 5 and under get in for FREE. Pit passes will be $25.

With the O’Reilly USMTS Modifieds headlining the program, the USRA Modifieds will have their first points night the following Saturday, April 14.
