Track
management at Mountain Speedway has recently announced that
strict penalties for intentionally slowing the course of the
racing program, will be strongly enforced. One such incident,
involving the 2007 Late Model champion, Larry Fisher, took place
during the NELMA late model event last October, when Fisher
intentionally drove in the wrong direction on the speedway and
rammed another competitor head-on. For these actions, a six week
suspension was levied upon Fisher, to begin the ‘08 season.
“It took time for the decision, but something had to be done
about it,” said speedway promoter Joe Callavini. He continued by
saying, “We need to control these types of senseless acts
that slow the program, instead of having situations like this
take control of the speedway."
“Safety is always a concern at the speedway, and obvious
altercations are deserving of penalties,” said Callavini. “That
goes for drivers, crew members, and any fans that might get out
of hand in the grandstands.”
All Mountain Speedway General, Procedural, and Divisional rules
are readily available on the Speedway website or by contacting
the Speedway office. Callavini closed by stating, "All people
need to be liable for their own actions."
