Some 50 thousand (+) spectators are expected for the weekend of racing at what has become known as “The Moody Mile”!
The USAC Silver Crown cars will also join the event with their 76 lap event leading up to the Small Block Modified main event on Saturday. Capping it off (in the event that this alone doesn’t satisfy your racing appetite), The WORLD OF OUTLAW sprint cars will run Saturday night just down the road at Rolling Wheels Raceway in Weedsport, N.Y.!
If you are looking to speak to someone about getting a little Strange on your car, we will have many representatives at this event! Along with myself (Crystal Bailey) there for social and media captures, we will also be bringing the President of Strange Oval, Jim Kontje; The President of all of Strange Engineering, Jeff Stange, and our top line Engineers! On top of that, you can also find the CREATOR of the KERA Wrap Axle as most of you already know the name, Hank Kleban! So make sure if you see us walking through, stop us and say "Hey!" and ask any questions that you have been burning to know about the Oval tracks` "Best Kept Secret"!
