Rains Wash Out Citrus L.M. Show Down | Inverness, Fl. - Monsoon rains washed out what would have been the first of four Citrus County Speedway "Late Model 125 Show Downs." There will be a make up race put into the schedule to announced at a later date. In order to notify all the traveling drivers that were expected to make up the big 125 for $5,000 to win, the weather per- son put the hammer down at about noon Saturday and promoters Billy Hooker and Jimmy Wear wisely looked over the weather predictions for Saturday and Sunday and called off the whole weekend.
This would have been a good opportunity for the Late Models to prepare for that second leg of the "Sunbelt Governors Cup" scheduled for August 3rd. There will be three regular 30 lap races for the Late Models before the big 125 in August.
Next Saturday night it will be the "Citrus Truck Accessories 40" for Sportsman plus a full schedule of Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks and Thunder Stocks in heat and feature action. Sports- man will qualify in time trials and a pill will be drawn by the fast qualifier for starting inversion.
July 27th will see the return of the Figure 8's at Citrus County Speedway and many of the fans have been looking forward to that with eager anticipation.
Now all we need to do is get the weather person to co- operate and get back on track. It will be three weeks since the local drivers have had a chance to get back on the fast 3/8ths mile.
