WYALUSING VALLEY MOTORSPORTS PARK
Welcome to WVMP's new brighter, bolder website!
$600 TO WIN 600cc MICRO SHOOTOUT TO HIGHLIGHT BIG DAY OF RACING THIS SUNDAY AT WYALUSING VALLEY!
Recent rainouts, including last Sunday's Midseason Championship, has set up a HUGE month July at Wyalusing Valley Motorsports Park.
This Sunday will mark the Harkness Family Restauraunt Midseason Championship, which has been combined with the scheduled 600cc Micro Shootout. The remaining 20 laps of the June 29th 270 feature, as well as the point leader's hot dog eating contest will also be held this week.
The A.C. Smith NAPA "Kart Elimination Race" has been rescheduled for July 27th, which will also be the 3rd Annual Spalding Foundation For Injured Drivers Charity Race. This very special event will pit 6 racers from different racing backgrounds against each other. This year's lineup includes driver with nearly a dozen accumulated championships. Among them are recently retired racers Wayne Lent and Jim Crawn, both native to the northern tier. Former 5 Mile Point driver Dave Rumsey will be on hand, as well as young 3rd generation racer Jesse Kent. Pro-Truck Tour director and competitor Mike Warren and 2007 5 Mile Point IMCA Modified Champion Gary Roberts will fill out the field.
This Sunday's 600cc Micro Shootout will see the winner pocket $600 (10 car minimum - $300 to win with 9 cars or less)! The remainder of the purse will be paid according to WVMP's regular pay scale (based on car count, visit www.wvmpracing.com for purse info). There will be NO increase in entry fees OR pit passes! Sixteen cars will start the A-Main, which will showcase the most powerful machines to compete at the "Nightmare of the Northern Tier". Several invaders are expected to challenge track regulars like Parker Evans, Bob Azarowicz, and Corey Adams. This will surely be one of the "must see" events of Wyalusing Valley's 2008 season.
WVMP recently covered an entire section of grandstands, offering spectators the opportunity to enjoy the great racing action in the comfort of shade, as well as shelter in the event of a passing summer shower. If you haven't been to WVMP in 2008, we invite you check out the improvements we have continued to make at the facility since it's inception in 2006.

1st place gets choice, 2nd place then gets choice, 3rd place gets what is left.
This race is open to the top three in lights, medium, and heavy points. In the event that a driver is leading the points in two divisions, they will represent the division with the lowest average car count this season. In the other division, 4th place will bump in to fill their spot. The field is handicapped with the heaviest division in the front, lightest in the rear, point positions inverted. ALL DRIVERS MUST WEIGH WHEN EXITING THE TRACK, AND THEY MUST MAKE WEIGHT FOR THE DIVISION THEY ARE REPRESENTING!.
The concept of the race is not necessarily to lead, but to NOT be LAST! The green flag will be thrown, and every other lap, the last place car will be black flagged. The last kart running wins! There will be prizes courtesy of A.C Smith NAPA for the top 3. If a driver is penalized for rough driving, they will be black flagged in place of the last place car.
PARTICIPATION IN BOTH EVENTS IS VOLUNTARY. ANY DRIVER ELECTING NOT TO PARTICIPATE WILL NOT BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DRIVER.
YOU ARE NIGHTMARE #
