An action-filled night is in preparation for Friday, June 19, at Snydersville with the 3rd Annual Walt Morrison Memorial Race set for the Mighty Microstocks in remembrance of one of Snydersville’s longest supporters! For those that didn’t know Walt Morrison, he had racing in his blood from the day he was born to the last breath he took. Walt started racing in Street Stocks at Flemington Speedway and ran many years, and from there, he transitioned over to the Microstocks, racing at Snydersville Raceway for over a decade. Walt succeeded at Snydersville, winning many races and even notching a Track Championship under his belt. During that time, he would marry the love of his life, Teri Morrison, in the only wedding ever held at Snydersville Raceway. He continued to race up until mid-2016 and then fell ill, where he was diagnosed with cancer. Walt fought tooth and nail to get healthy and get back in the seat of his Microstock. Finally, on Saturday, October 7, 2017, with the help of Barry Reese, Walt got back behind the wheel, driving Barry’s Microstock during intermission for a couple of laps. However, this would be his last ride as in March of 2018; the whole racing family would be saddened by the passing of Walt.
In memory of Walt, the Microstock 206 division will be running a Memorial Race consisting of a 36-Lap Feature (36 was his original car number) with the starting field set by Green/White/Checkered Qualifying. The Winner of the Memorial Race will receive a trophy and a payday of $236. And there is an added twist as this Memorial Race will be Cone Race and have a Lucky Dog for the first car a lap or laps down.
Plus, the Engines will be roaring in the Sr. Animal Champs as the drivers will be going for a cool $150 to win in a 20-Lap Race! The drivers will qualify for the feature.
And to finally top the tank off for the evening, we have A FATHERS DAY MECHANICS RACE AND ALL WEEKLY CLASSES OF KARTS, CHAMPS, MICROSTOCKS, SLINGSHOTS & XCEL SPORTSMANS duking it out on the 1/8-mile bullring! Come on out to Snydersville and indulge in the exciting racing for the Bullring of the Poconos! Gates open at 4:30 pm, Drivers Meeting at 6 pm, Practice at 6:15 pm, Racing at 7 pm.
