Revolution Rescheduled for August 5 at Hesston

HESSTON, PA (July 26) - Saturated grounds from pounding rains during the previous days forced Hesston Speedway to cancel "Revolution" for a 2nd time. The event will now be held on Sunday, August 5. This huge event will also include the "Ron Strait Championships."
 
"Revolution" will feature the most powerful 2 late model divisions in the region, with the Speedmonster/3 State Flyers Super Late Models paying $5,100 to win, $400 to start and $200 for non-qualifiers PLUS a $75 Frankland Racing Supply card to positions 9-24 and all non-qualifiers. This boosts the total cash/prizes in the Super Late Models to $475 to start and $275 for non-qualifiers. The S³/3SF Super Late Models will compete in a full racing program with a 55-lap championship feature.
 
Hesston is one of the few tracks where Late Model fans get to see thes top 2 late model divisions race in championship events for one low ticket price!   The ultra-competitive Semi-Late Model Sportsman will also be in action in a full racing program. This class combines limited late models, steel block late models and crate late models with weigh and spoiler variances. The Semi-Late Model Sportsman will compete in a full racing program with a 30-lap championship paying $1,100 to win, $150 to start and $100 for non-qualifiers.   Frankland will also boost the total prizes for this class with $75 cards to positions 4-25 and all non-qualifiers. This brings the total cash/prizes to $225 to start and $175 for non-qualifiers.
 
The Semi-Late Model Sportsman crate motor challenge is still in effect. The 1st crate motor car with a top-5 finish will receive a $400 bonus in addition to feature prize money.
 
Frankland Racing Supply is located in Valencia, PA. Frankland specializes in the most stable, reliable, dependable quick-change rear ends in the racing industry.

The A-Cadet feature will run 25 laps with no time limit on the race.

These 2 divisions will compete in extended lap, feature-only formats with the Roadrunners racing 17 laps and the Hobby-Modifieds racing 21 laps to compensate for the elimination of heat races.
 
Nick Dickson of Lewistown, PA stunned the record crowd at the 1st Speedmonster Super Late Model event this season by winning from the 24th restating position, in a race where the top 9 advanced 58 positions. Dickson and Gregg Satterlee of Rochester Mills, PA currently are tied for the lead in the Speedmonster Super Series championship, which pays $2,000 to the champion from a $5,000 point bonue fund. Satterlee is also leading 3 State Flyer points after claiming a win at Natural Bridge Speedway last weekend.   Jeff Rine and Jeremy Miller both have Super Late Model wins at Hesston in 2011 and sit 3rd and 4th in Speedmonster points with Mike Lupfer rounding out the top 5.
 
Rick Singleton of Huntingdon, PA was the Semi-Late Model Sportsman championship feature winner and currently leads track points. Khi Swanger of Huntingdon, PA won the A-Cadet championship feature. Rick Potter of Everett, PA came home the winner in the Hobby-Modifieds. Adam Pletcher of Johnstown, PA started 20th on the grid and roared forward to win in the Roadrunners.
 
All 5 divisions will be competing in "Revolution/Ron Strait Championship", with feature-only, extended-lap formats for the Hobby-Modifieds and Roadrunners.   The Super Late Model feature will be 2nd in rotation, with only necessary races in between sets of Super Late Model races to give those teams enough time to work on their cars. The remaining 3 features will be run after the Super Late Models.
 
With a Sunday race date, the schedule of events will move forward. All classes will have warm-ups. A-Cadets will run without a time limit at this event since their last 2 championship races saw the time limit expire. The A-Cadets will be 1 of the features after the Super Late Models
