    Default Going for the record!!!

    Easter weekend 2013, Antioch Speedway hosted 613 racers from 3 continents. That day set a record attendance for the Mid East Hare Scramble Association and an all time record attendance for the speedway too. Most stock car tracks will host anywhere from 50 to 100 race cars on a given race night. can you imagine over 600 races at one event? The place will be packed out this weekend!!!

    Anyone who owns a dirt bike or quad can come join in the fun and race the 6.5 mile course at the speedway and off road park this Saturday, April 4th. There are no memberships required. The Mid East group has divisions for everybody from beginners, to the pros. It's also a family sport!!! The day kicks off with the youngest racers starting at just 4 years old racing about a 2 mile loop at 8am, and then as the day progresses, the age groups get older with adult motorcycles racing at noon and adult quads racing at 3pm.

    And camping is FREE!!!!! This is a rain or shine event too. Last year, over 300 racers came out and raced in an all day pouring rain. It was sloppy, but lotsa' fun!!!

    Racers from all over the world will start arriving at the speedway early on Friday setting up camp and preparing for a big Easter weekend race event in front of thousands of eager race fans. Antioch Speedway is one of the most spectator friendly course on the circuit as people can see about 2.5 miles of the course right in front of them from the grandstands. And the real outdoor enthusiasts will head into the woods to see the hill climbs and water hazards down in the river bottom of the property.

    Can you imagine the roar of over 300 motorcycles all cranking their engines all at the same time for the start of their 12pm race? That's what will likely happen when the adult bikes crank up just before 12pm, and then around 200 adult quads will do the same just before their 3pm race. And that's not all. 100 young riders will do the same at their respective races in the morning. Sounds like thunder!!!!

    Pictures and videos of the days events can be seen on the Antioch Speedway website at www.antiochspeedway.net and there are also great videos available on Youtube.

    Admission is just $10.00 for the day's events and again camping is free. Racing starts at 1pm and the last race starts at 3pm. More information on classes with the Mid East can be found at www.mideastracing.com

    Help us set a new all time record this Easter weekend by inviting all you friends that have dirt bikes or quads to come race in this huge event and be a part of the roar of the engines!!!!

    Hope to see you here.

    Also, don't forget, Jason Smoot has opening night for stock car racing on Friday night, April 11th. The half mile speedway will be alive with everything from late models to 4 cylinder race cars racing at speeds of 80 to 100 mph around North Carolina's largest dirt track. Invite your friends to come be a part of that action too as April is heating up at Antioch Speedway.
