On Friday night’s Big Diamond Speedway, the 3/8-mile dirt oval in Forestville puts on a great show of stock car racing. Saturday’s at the paved ¼-mile oval Mahoning Valley Speedway in Lehighton the same can be said.
Each track can boast their own unique brand of action that always leaves fans coming back for more.
Separated by a mere 36 miles, familiar faces can also be seen in both grandstands as numerous buffs like an equal amount both dirt and asphalt racing.
Looking upon those prospects Jake Smulley, promoter of Big Diamond and Mahoning Valley’s Jack Carlino have made a commitment to offer spectators a $2-off discount when showing their respective front gate wristbands.
Starting this Friday fans from Big Diamond can attend the next night at Mahoning Valley and take advantage of the $2-off deal. Likewise Saturday’s wrist bands from Mahoning Valley will offer the same discount the following Friday at Big Diamond.
Please note that the wristband offer is can only be used on a per-week basis and not carry over an additional week.
And, the special offer couldn’t start at a better time as both tracks have big nights planned.
