Heavy Mist & Fog Postpones New Egypt Main Events

New Egypt, NJ (May 3, 2008) – A increasingly heavy mist during the running of Saturday nights program forced New Egypt Speedway officials to postpone all of tonight’s feature events except for one. After a cloudy start, fog began rolling in about an hour into the show accompanied by a light mist which steadily became heavier throughout qualifying. As the feature events began, the mist became too heavy to allow competition to continue safely and management was left no choice but to pull the plug.

“We met with the drivers and they felt that the conditions had become unsafe,” stated co-owner Bill Miscoski, “The last thing we wanted to do was send the fans, who braved the elements, home before the show was complete; however the weather was beginning to adversely effect the safety and quality of the racing on the speedway and we were left with only one choice.”

The SS Sprint feature event was under a red flag just 2 laps into the 15 lap event when the decision was made. This feature will be completed next Saturday night along with the postponed 20 lap A-1 Racing Products Sportsman feature event. The 15 lap Super Stock feature will then be run in two weeks on Saturday, May 17th, along with the postponed Modified B Main & 30-lap Modified feature. These will all be in addition to the scheduled events at no increase in the admission prices.

The Outlaw Stocks did run their 15 lap feature event with defending champion Gary Klimeczak taking his first victory of the season, the ninth of his career. Veteran Spider Ensinger Sr. finished second, followed by Rich Smith, Whitey Miller and Dan Collamer.

The Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman Series 8 lap feature saw Gabe Fox win for the second time in three tries. Kevin Vaclavicek drove a strong race to finish second and last week’s winner Rob Stump was third.

Tomorrow afternoon, Sunday May 4th, New Egypt Speedway will be back in action with the second show for the 600cc Micro Sprints. Legend Cars, Crate-1 Sportsman and the Garden State Vintage Stock Cars will also be on the bill, which will get underway at 1pm. Gates will open at 11am.

Next Sat. May 10th, it will be Mother’s Day night, featuring the Big-block Modifieds, A-1 Sportsman, Super Stocks, SS Sprints, Crate-1 Sportsman and the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Series, along with the finish of tonight’s postponed SS Sprint Feature event and the running of tonight’s postponed 20 lap Sportsman feature. Gates open at 4 p.m. with the first green at 6 pm. Adult admission is still $17, children 7-12 are $6, and kids 6 and under are always free.
