After a partial rainout and another week off the Citrus County Speedway driver family will restart the 2005 points chase Saturday night with a six division race card featuring Late Model double features and a 50 lap Thunder Stock 50th Anniversary Special.
Rains have been plaguing Florida racing for the past six weeks with fans and drivers questioning their sanity about committing to making the trip to their local speedway on the weekends.
Even the Pepsi 400 was 2 ½ hours late getting started but the true fans stuck it out and saw a great show. Weather would have been a consideration at Citrus this past weekend had the schedule not already been set to skip this holiday weekend in deference to the Daytona race.
Now it’s time to get back to business and it will be non-stop, ladies and gentlemen start your engines, every Saturday night until November 12th as Citrus County Speedway continues its most aggressive race schedule in the 50 years of operation.
Each division has had or will have a 50th Anniversary 50 lap special race. Two weeks ago caution flags and rain interrupted the Hobby Stock 50 lap adventure which will be made up from lap 11 next Saturday July 16th. It will be the Thunder Stocks turn this week to time trial and run their anniversary special. Mini Stocks get their special on July 23rd and Super Stocks on August 6th. The rest of the season is offering all short track enthusiasts a wide variety of racing machines and specials that will thrill and entertain the whole family plus a tight point’s shoot out that will go right down to the wire in every regular division.
Double Late Model features, Super Stocks, Mini Stocks, Hobby Stocks and 4 Cylinder Bombers will balance out the restart of the point’s season this Saturday night with grandstand gates opening at 4 and the Late Model makeup 35 lap feature taking the green flag at approximately 6 pm. Citrus County Speedway is located just 2 miles south of Inverness on U.S. 41 at the Fairgrounds, celebrating 50 years of your need for speed and excitement.
