Rain for I-96 Speedway and Sprints On Dirt? Of course!
Erie, MI (August 25, 2018) – In spite of persistent threatening skies and light rain, I-96 Speedway promoter Jeff Dice was determined to get the Dual on Dirt program in for Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt last night. However, after heat races and the King Engine Bearings Kids feature Draw, he had to pull the plug.
The I-96 crew masterfully prepped the track and gave competitors a lightning fast track. The crew fought back each time the rain returned, but eventually the skies opened up enough to make any attempt to recover the track impossible.
I-96 Speedway has scheduled Engine Pro Sprints On Dirt presented by ARP to return on Friday, September 21st.
Qualifying – Lane Automotive/MSD Ignition Fast Masters (fast qualifiers) $50 each
