PORT ROYAL, PA –March 22, 2016- Port Royal Speedway will present the kickoff to the 2016 UFO Late Model Championship Series tour on Saturday night, March 26 at 6 pm, on what will be Kids Easter Night at the historic oval.
Joining the UFO super late models, sponsored all season at the track by Aumiller’s Insurance, will be the Weikert’s Livestock 410 sprints and the UFO 358 Late Models.
The first 200 youth through the general admission gate will receive a free chocolate Easter treat courtesy of the Easter Bunny. In addition, a youth Easter Egg scramble will be held in the infield early in the racing program.
The night is sponsored in part by Asher’s Chocolates of Lewistown, who will present each feature winner with an Easter basket full of prized Asher’s chocolates.
General admission gates open at 4 pm with adults priced at just $20 for the big show and youth ages 12 – 18 admitted for $7.
The UFO super late models will kick off their 2016 tour with a 35-lap main event paying $3,000 to win and $300 to start while the UFO 358 late models will race for $1,000 to win.
The UFO event is raindated for April 9.
A stellar field of super late models is expected to compete in what will be the first big super late model program held anywhere on the East Coast in 2016.
Already this season invaders like Kyle Hardy and Gregg Satterlee have tested the waters at the track and both are likely entrants in Saturday’s big UFO event along with a host of others.
So far this season, Hamburg’s Any Haus has been unbeatable in the first two late model vents held at the oval.
April 2 will find the oval in action with the first Camera and Autograph night of the season when the purchase of a general admission ticket will allow for access to the pit area prior to the start of the racing program.
On the April 2 card will be the 410 sprints, super late models and the season debut of the River Valley Builders 305 sprint series at the track.
