Friday Night Racing Cancelled at SSP

Racing  Events Cancelled for Friday Night at SSP 
NEWBERRYTOWN,  PA (June 2, 2006) – The racing events scheduled for Friday 
night, June 2 have  been cancelled after the severe thunderstorms that cancelled 
last night’s events  caused major damage to the electrical and public address 
systems at the  speedway.  A thunder strike directly  at the speedway blew up 
the p.a. system and laptop computer as well as shorting  out many of the 
electrical circuits around the track.  Shortly after the thunder strike, an  
unidentified vehicle ran into an electrical pole in front of the speedway thus  
causing another temporary blackout the track.  The severely damaged pole may not 
be  fixed for two days by the power company.  Also the 90% forecast of more 
severe thunderstorms for Friday evening  played a role in the early cancellation. 
 Scheduled for Friday night were the Trail Motors Super Sportsman, Late  
Models, Women on Wheels Stock Cars and Street Stocks along with the Mini Van  
Construction race.  The Construction  race replaces the Mini Van Doughnut Delivery 
race which was originally  scheduled.  The Friday night events  will not be 
rescheduled.
