Weather Forces Big Diamond To Push Opener Back One Week; Revised April Schedule
Story By: KENNETH BRUCE / BIG DIAMOND SPEEDWAY – POTTSVILLE, PA – Once again Mother Nature has reared her ugly head forcing Big Diamond Speedway to postpone their 47th annual season opener originally scheduled for this Friday 4/6/18 to Friday 4/13/18.
With the speedway grounds saturated and a very unfavorable weather forecast predicted for the next few days promoter Jake Smulley thought it was best to give the teams and the fans time to amend their upcoming plans for this Friday night along with assuring the teams that a raceable track will be available when the season does get underway.
