Evergreen Raceway/Mahoning Valley Speedway Small Car Enduro Series gets underway this Saturday, March 30

When the Evergreen Raceway/Mahoning Valley Speedway Small Car Enduro Series was first announced there was an immediate wave of enthusiasm for the throng of Enduro drivers who enjoy the racing at both eastern Pennsylvania paved short tracks. It is, for one of the first times ever, a show of commonality between the two tracks.

Enduro drivers now get the opportunity to show the desire for the special nine race series when Evergreen plays host to the opening round event this upcoming Saturday, March 30.

Pits open at noon with the 4-Cylinder Enduro taking the green at 1:00 pm followed by a 6/8-cylinder Enduro. Grandstand admission is $5. Pit entrance is $35 and race day registration is $40.

It should be noted Saturday’s start time was moved up by one hour in order to accommodate a number of Mahoning drivers who later that evening will be attending the “Party in the Pits” at their home track which is the official celebration of the 2018 season and welcoming in of 2019 later that same evening.

“We really appreciate that Jason (Makarewicz, Evergreen promoter) was kind enough to move up his start time in order to assist our guys for later that evening. We really want to see this Enduro Series work and it’s looking like it will be a great partnering with this special endeavor,” offered Mahoning Valley Speedway promoter Jack Carlino.

Nine races, alternating once a month per each track, will make of the series. Each race will award $500 to win, with 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th receiving $300, $200, $150 and $100 respectively. Points will be tallied for each driver and the top five in the final standings will be awarded the same payout.

In order to be eligible for the championship monies drivers must run a minimum of three races at each track.

After Evergreen it’s on to Mahoning Valley on Sunday, April 28. Sunday, May 19 race No. 3 moves back to Evergreen. On Sunday, June 16 Mahoning welcomes back the show for round 4 and then Evergreen on Sunday, July 21. The series stays at Evergreen for a Sunday, August 25 event while Mahoning gets a reappearance for the next two on Sunday, September 15 and Sunday, October 20. The conclusion of the inaugural twin-track outing will be Saturday afternoon, November 2 at Evergreen.
