Mountain Speedway management has announced that beginning
with the March 15th MMES Enduro event, the use of one-way
scanners will be implemented to relay red and black flag
situations occurring during Enduro events, in the name of
safety.
With the yellow flag being set aside for Enduro competition,
events are only halted for a dangerous, or red flag situation on
the speedway. The black flag is used to tell specific cars about
a problem they need to address, such as leaking gas, dragging
bumpers or flat tires.
Racers will now be warned by the race director via the
one-way scanner, in addition to the flags being displayed.
“With safety on everyone’s mind these days, we have decided
to utilize the one-way scanners for our Enduro Series. It works
well for our Saturday night racing, so why not use it in the
Enduros,” stated co-promoter Mike Odwazny.
The inexpensive scanners can be purchased at various
electronic outlets for less than $50. For more info, call the
speedway office at (570)384-3215.
