Specials This Weekend; Sad News

Should be a pretty good weekend of racing for dirt small and big block modifieds this weekend. Ransomville Speedway will host double features for the small block modifieds on Friday night. Edelweiss Speedway has a 50 lap Syracuse qualifier paying $2,000 to win for the small blocks. Also on Friday is the Memorial Cup race for small block at the new Mohawk International Speedway. Five Mile Point Speedway will host double features for the big block modifieds on Saturday night. The Super Dirt Series returns to action at Lebanon Valley Speedway with a 100 lap $6,000 to win show. On Sunday, the Super Dirt Series makes their first ever appearance, and their return to asphalt, at Airborne Speedway, which will also be 100 laps and pay $6,000 to win.

Sad news as 358 modified driver Francisco Pereira passed away after a battle with cancer. Pereira was a regular at Merrittville Speedway and also did quite a bit of traveling with the 358 Super Dirt Series. Pereira was also an ice racer in the winter, and a former rally driver. We're all going to miss seeing that spider-web paint schemed #37P racing around the track.
