Speedway…
Hurricane Isaac
wipes out Baltes Classic
100 Race Teams Had Converged Upon Eldora With Hopes That the Storm
Would Pass Over
ROSSBURG, OH (Sept. 2) – After a rain-free afternoon, remnants of
Hurricane Isaac filtered in just prior to the scheduled hot lap
sessions Sunday evening to wipe out the Wix Filters Baltes
Classic. A talent-laden pit area of 36 Sunoco American Late Model
Series entrants, 47 UMP DIRTcar Modifieds and 17 Stock Cars jammed the
pit area with hopes that the storms would hold off.
Once the rains did invade the historic speed plant, it wiped out all
chances of competition on the .500-mile clay oval.
The Baltes Classic will not be rescheduled; however, the Stock Car
portion of the event, which was to have concluded their cumulative
point race, will be inked for a later date to be announced by speedway
management.
With the WIX Filters Baltes Classic cancellation, Eldora Speedway
officials have issued the following statement regarding purchased
tickets and pit passes.
***PLEASE KEEP YOUR TICKETS & PIT PASS WRISTBANDS***
All guests who purchased tickets or pit passes for the WIX Filters
Baltes Classic may use the full value towards any remaining event in
2012 including the World 100 this coming weekend, September 7 & 8.
For any guest that has a family hardship, work-related commitment or is
from out of the area, please return your FULL TICKET or FULL PIT PASS
WRISTBAND with a note and a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to:
Eldora Speedway

New Weston, OH 45348

the same method in which it was purchased within 30 days.

refunded by check.
Anyone who purchased the streaming pay-per-view broadcast of the event
will receive a credit to the same method of payment in which it was
purchased.
Next up on the Eldora Speedway calendar is the nation’s foremost dirt
Late Model event, the World 100, and the chase for the unrivaled globed
trophy. Tech inspection begins Thursday evening (Sept. 6),
followed by Friday’s (Sept. 7) time trial runs and qualifying features
that lead up to Saturday’s (Sept. 8) six heat races, two B-Features,
