Dates Announced for 2012 Atlantic City Indoor Races
Indoor Auto Racing will return to
Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall in 2012 for the tenth year under
the promotion of Len Sammons. Sammons has confirmed that the
exciting events will be held on Friday and Saturday nights,
February 3 and 4, 2012. Ted Christopher from Plainville, Conn.
will be returning to defend the "Gambler’s Classic" title he won
this past January in the headline Three-Quarter Midget division.
Christopher, the 2009 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, also
won the "Coffee Cup" TQ-Midget feature held inside the Dunkin'
Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., to sweep last winter's Indoor
Racing Series. The Providence events will again be held in 2012,
on Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11.
The Three-Quarter Midgets hit speeds upwards of 70 mph while
running around a course set-up on the historic landmark
Boardwalk Hall concrete floor. Feature events find a minimum of
24 cars taking the green flag providing some hair raising action
for fans. Each year profesional race car drivers from many
different divisions of the sport; and over 10 different states,
compete at the event.
The Champ Kart and Slingshot divisions will also be included in
the exciting Alantic City race weekend. Racing will begin on
Friday night at 7:30 p.m.. and at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Each night
will include qualifying races and a feature event for the
headline division.
Tickets for the Atlantic City event will go on sale on
Wednesday, August 17, at Ticketmaster outlets, online at
www.ticketmaster.com
and at the Boardwalk Hall box office. Ticket prices remain the
same as the past event. Premium seats sell-out quickly. Tickets
