“King of the Hill Set to Go at Dunn Hill 2 Speedway” by Carol Houssock
(Monroeton, PA) Mark your calendars! Dunn Hill 2 Speedway, back in operation since August 23rd, is holding a special 2-day program on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18. Over the two days fans can watch 7 different types of cars competing in 8 feature events, all vying for wins in the inaugural ‘King of the Hill’.
On tap for the Saturday portion are the Factory Stocks, FWD 4 Cylinders, and both 270 and 600 Micro sprints. Gates open at noon, with practice following the mandatory drivers’ meeting at 2 PM.
Gates open at 10 AM on Sunday, with practice following the 12 noon driver’s meeting for Crate Sportsman Modifieds, Pro/Street Stocks, and Mini Stocks. Sunday will also include a 15-lap Junior race for kids ages 12-15 driving 4 Cylinder cars.
General admission for each day is $12 for adults, $6 for children, and free for kids ages 6 and under. Pit passes are $25 each day, and there is a $10 registration fee for Crate Sportsman cars.
Pre-registration is now open for all divisions, and drivers who take advantage of the opportunity will receive something in return. “Any driver who pre-registers will be able to draw 2 pills for their heat starting position and keep the best of the 2,” said Promoter Mark Spencer, Sr. “Drivers who don’t pre-register will draw 1 pill.” Pre-registration forms are available on a special website set up for this event:
www.thekingofthehill.8m.com. The completed form, plus the $25 pit pass fee, should be mailed to: ABC Auto Parts, c/o Dunn Hill 2 Speedway, 158 Rt. 11, Hunlock Creek, PA 18621. Rules and other information are also available on that website. Anyone with questions should call 570-735-8544 or email dunnhill2speedway@verizon.net.
The track’s regular website (
www.dunnhill2speedway.com) is also up and running, with results from past races and other information of interest. It’s Dunn Hill 2 Speedway, where we do it in the dirt every Sunday (and on a special Saturday in October!).
(Guess I left race times out as well, but for both days it's after practice.)
