The stage was set for another excellent night of racing at the Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. Unfortunately, it was Mother Nature who had her way on Mother’s Day Eve. Track crews had done an excellent job in getting the track prepared to start on time after early afternoon showers had struck the speedway, but it only took until the third group of warmups for the 125/4 Stroke division before the rain came once again. Although persistent efforts were made to get the track dried and ready for action, another heavy pop-up shower just after 7:00 made it impossible to get the full slate of racing for the evening in.
Next Saturday, May 15th will feature a full slate of racing at the Clyde in addition to the makeup features for the 125/4 Stroke and 270 divisions from April 24th. There will also be a kids candy scramble as part of the evening’s festivities. In order to accommodate for the extra racing, gates will once again open at 3:30, with warmups and racing to begin at 5:00. Wristbands from the May 8th rainout will serve as rain checks to get into any one of the next two events, May 15th and May 22nd. Please note that the wristband is only valid as a rain check once, and cannot be used for admission into both of the next two events. With a lot of racing yet to be run and better weather on the way, there has never been a better time than next week to come out and LIVE the excitement that is Lanco!
