MOBERLY, MO
(Sept. 5) - Just two isolated heavy rain cells in the northern MO area, one
over Moberly and the other over the racetrack just 3 miles east of town, was
all it took to wash out the SpeedBowl 2009 for this Saturday at 24 Raceway.
By 9am on this Labor Day Saturday, rainwater was standing in the south part
of the pit area, and not expected to be dry enough to be usable by evening.
Watch this site for any re-scheduling and re-formatting of this
special event on the website of
www.24racewayinmoberly.com. PROMO: The next big event coming
up at 24 Raceway on Septemper 12th will be 7th annual B-Modified
Championship Shootout, sponsored by MHC Kenworth of Columbia, MO. Also
noted as the Bob Hubert Memorial race, this event features a custom format
for the B-modified racers that Bob, Mr. Mopar, loved so much. A 30 lap
format will be the feature race of the evening, and will take place in two
segments: After the initial 20 laps, the top ten cars will get a 10 minute
pit stop on the front stretch for refueling and any necessary adjustments.
Then there will be a redraw for places 1 thru 10 to fight it out in a
ten-lap shootout style to the finish. The winner will take that $1000 top
prize! Entry fee will be $60 for track members and will include a driver's
pit pass. Non-members entry will cost $70 with that one pass included. Since $ Hot Dog Night was
originally scheduled for Sept. 5th, this will now be the concession special
for this Sept. 12th event; Hot Dogs will be only a $1 item! A-mod, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and
the 4 cylinder Hornet classes will also be competing on this
coming evening. Come early and view the new Kenworth trucks presented by
MHC Kenworth at the racetrack. One will be a medium duty T300, that's been
a good seller for them. And word is it's available in a hybred.
Most popular applications are: Pickup and delivery, Fuel oil, Propane,
Mixer, Dump, Refuse, Wrecker, Expedited freight, Fire and rescue,
Refrigerated food products. An over the road T660 tractor may also be
brought in. The MHC Kenworth staff will be on hand early, to field any
questions on these and other models. Admission to the grandstand
area will only be $12. "Dirt Track Racing at its Best" happens again on
September 12th at 24 Raceway, east of Moberly, Missouri on U.S. Highway
24. Kids 12 and under are free to the grandstands and the stands will open
