Frostbite 6 Ahead for
Mountain Speedway
As the holiday season approaches, racers
are already feeling the itch to get back behind the wheel.
However, Jack Frost normally brings the season to a halt by this
time of the year, but that’s not the case for Mountain Speedway,
as the track once again begins to prepare for the “Frostbite”
winter enduros.
The first event of the 2012 racing season would kick off on
Saturday, January 7, as the celebration of the New Year
continues with the "Frostbite 6" enduro-racing event.
The Mountain Madness Enduro Series schedule will comprise of
several events throughout the course of the season and the 6th
annual Frostbite enduro will be the first show to highlight the
2012-racing schedule.
Run like a true to form enduro, the Mountain Madness Enduro
Series features relatively inexpensive "bone stock" automobiles
for low budget racers, helping make enduro racing more
affordable for beginners and masters alike. Each of the two
divisions have a three wide rolling start. Without any yellow
flags, only red flags will be thrown for serious incidents, or
if a driver is in a dangerous situation on the speedway.
Sam Ryan and Tom Szoke took victories in the 5th annual event
and may be in action to score the repeat victories.
With two divisions running 100-laps each in “Frostbit 6”, race
fans that are looking to fuel their racing appetites will once
again have the opportunity to do so at Mountain Speedway in
January.
The 2011 enduro rules will apply for the Frostbite event and

schedule will be released in early January.

or shine. However, if there is severe weather or very deep snow,
the show may be rescheduled.
The pit area will open at 10 AM and the grandstands will be open
at 12 noon. The first enduro event is slated to take the green
flag at 12:30 PM. Pit admission is $30 and the enduro
