    Beaver Springs is right up the road from Beavertown, if that helps.

    latest update
    Friday gates are 2pm test and tune should be at 3pm. There is an open gamblers race to all makes and models by the track. I will be running a buick only full tree bracket and a pro tree bracket class. This will be paid out from our own buick sponsors and has nothing to do with the track. These buick classes must be buick powered but can be any bodystyle.
    Saturday gates 9am test and tune immediately. Buick olds and pontiac only. Three track classes. These classes do not matter the body or the engine but must be B.O.P. something. There is a track payout for these also.
    Saturday after the B.O.P. will be an all run full tree bracket class for buick powered also. We have a sponsor NDH Automotive who is putting up some bucks for this class.
    Sunday is also racing if anyone is interested in staying over again. I am not involved with sunday stuff so i dont know the details.
    I will update the sponsor list shortly but still looking for a few bucks to help for payouts. Nothing goes to the track except gate fee. All and any form of sponsorship goes to the 3 buick classes only i posted about. I refuse to pay the other classes our sponsorship money. This would be good for a decent showing as the track will work with me and us for next year if we pull some cars to prove we need a place to race. The track owner is great to work with but he is on a shoestring budget and was shocked we have a good following or racers, spectators and sponsors.

    We will be there friday around noon I guess. Gates open at 2pm. There should be plenty of trailer parking at hotel & you can leave the trailer at the track each night if you like.

    I took some pictures and some video. I can post the pictures for now. I'll need to go through the videos and upload them to youtube. I'll do that in the next few days.

    At one point, we had to wait for the sun to go behind the mountain as it was blinding the drivers and making it hard to see the lights.

    Then there was the moonrise. When it first came up, it was red. My phone did not quite get the color.

    OK, one video. I have more. Finals of one of the Buick only races at the end of the day. Greg Gessler and John Csordas Jr. I took this with my phone. I found I got the best results standing at about 500-600 foot, and following the faster car. That way, you can see the times at the finish.

    Great event
    Owner was super cooperative, John C. Was able to do 2 just buick races on fri. and on sat. Besides the BOP program, and they had a buy back. A lot of racing in 2 days. Excellent facility. John did a good job in setting this up. Many Ponchos and olds cars too. all nice guys. Caddy to be included next year, look forward to 2022

    Awesome event. The owner came out to speak with us several times throughout the weekend, asking how everything was going, if we needed anything, what could he do to make it better and told us to seek him out personally in the tower if we needed anything. At the end he thanked us for coming and expressed a real interest in helping to make it better for us next year.
    Thanks to the Csordas' for working to put this together with the track and all of the sponsors. I'm sure there was a lot of time and effort spent behind the scenes but from what I experienced, it was well worth the effort. I will be back next year.
