Legendary Hilltop Set For Opening Points Night

March 30, 2016
(Marietta, Ohio)

Just 1 week after the season opening Frostbuster Special drew a near record crowd and saw the 3 reigning AMRA Champions take home feature wins, the Legendary Hilltop Speedway will host their opening point’s night this week on Friday April 1st. The event is scheduled to include racing in all regular classes and is expected to draw another field of regional stars and local favorites to the Marietta Ohio track. With racing in the Advance Auto Part Late Models (AMRA), AMRA Modifieds, AMRA Sport Mods, Street Stocks, 4 Cylinders and Mini Wedges, Friday’s show is sure to give fan’s their money’s worth!

The Opening Points Night of 2016, will not only kick off the track point standings season for Legendary Hilltop competitors, but also serve as a part of the opening weekend for AMRA National Point standings in the Late Model, Modified and Sport Mod divisions. Legendary Hilltop officials hope to place an even greater emphasis on track points in 2016, as track officials have promised to grow the year end points fund that paid out to a total of 40 positions across the tracks 5 main classes in 2015. Also with a series of large races planned in 2016 at “The Top,” track officials intend to ensure that at certain TBA events, Provisionals are awarded to track point contenders such as what is planned for the River City Showdown in June.

Those in attendance last Friday, at the season opening Frostbuster event, saw high speeds and multi-groove racing on the ¼ mile track, just as the crew intended. While there is rain in the forecast later this week, it is the track crews plan to work throughout the week to ensure that the track provides just as exciting racing during Friday’s event which looks to feature a much more favorable forecast on Friday. Fans who also braved the cold and attended the Frostbuster, were also treated to numerous facility improvements including the addition of 200 grandstand seats along the front stretch, which were near capacity and saw great reviews.

Track officials hope to see another great crowd of race fans and teams this Friday night! Gates are scheduled to open at 3, with the drivers meeting set for 6:30 and racing slated to begin at 7. General Admission will be $12, Pits will be $30 and as always, Kids 10-Under will receive Free General Admission.
