As many of you have already figured out, with the mall not willing to repair anything, especially the heat, lack of AC, roof repairs, or electrical issues, we are forced to close up shop.
We've enjoyed most of the time in the four mall locations, especially with many great customers and surely put smiles on many young and old customers while racing or enjoying a birthday party.

The schedule for the rest of the month looks like this...
Tuesday, Feb 19 - Drag racing on White Lightning
Wed, Feb 20 - Open track practice on four tracks.
Thurs, Feb 21 - Final Rookie Racing on the Pocono
Fri, Feb 22 - Final Friday night racing on the Pocono, Indy Cars, H&R Hardbodies, and Dirt Mods.
Sat, Feb 23 - Final Sat races... Gp 12 Wing Cars and Indy Cars on the King.
Sun, Feb 24 - 32 Car Shootout on the White LIghtning
Mon, Feb 25 -  CLOSED
Tues, Feb 26 - Final White LIghtning drags
Wed, Feb 27 - DOORS CLOSED for good.
 
Note: All store credits from win slips must be cashed in by Tuesday, Feb 26.
 
AJ and I would like to thank all of the many customers we've had over the past three years. Keep looking at our Facebook page for any indications of relocating some of the tracks.
 
Regards...

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Sad to see SMS have to close due to the inaction of others.
 
Almost certainly this won't be the last raceway to have to shut down due to being 'land-lorded.'
