Salem Speedway Fueled by the Hoosier Lottery will present “Fall Brawl” on Saturday, Sept. 21. All winners will receive trophies and boxing gloves to keep with the theme.
“Are you ready to rumble?” a speedway spokesman asks.
There will be six action-packed features. GAS street stock cars will challenge the high banks for 75 circuits. Ford Crown Vics will be scheduled for 50 laps on the high banks. Going for a fast 25 laps will be the Salem Super Cars.
The small track will feature the Legends, Ford Crown Vics and the Scrapper Fun Class. These guys will go for 25 laps each race.
For something different, each race will consider time limit vs. laps on whichever one come first. Each race has a limit of one minute per lap.
Spectator gates open at 2 p.m., with the first race beginning at 6 p.m.
A special event for the evening includes the "A Night At The Salem Speedway" fundraising event by CAST, featuring dinner and racing at the historic track. CAST is a 501c3 non-profit organization that offers tutoring to county students who are dealing with dyslexia.
According to Cassie Corp, CAST director, “Dyslexia is a specific learning disability related to reading. Studies show up to 20% of the population in the United States is affected at some level with dyslexia. Children who are unable to read by the third grade are more likely to drop out of school.”
“Help our students achieve their full potential by supporting this effort,” she added.
Tickets for the CAST dinner and VIP treatment are $50 for adults. Kids 12 and under are free with the purchase of an adult ticket.
