By Brian Liskai  (Attica, OH) Persistent rains brought an end to the racing action at Attica Raceway Park Friday on American Power Sports Night.
A big field of race cars were on hand and three heat races were in the books in the 410 sprints when the skies opened up. Claiming heat race wins were Lee Jacobs, Chad Kemenah and Brandon Martin.
Fans should keep their ticket stubs and pit pass bans and can use them at any race during the 2008 season - for big shows they need to make up the difference in the admission price.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 16, as the best dirt track late model drivers in the world come to town for the first ever appearance of the World of Outlaw Late Models. And sprint fans aren't being left out either, as the fire-breathing 410 sprints are also on the racing card.
Gates will open at 5 p.m. with racing action heating up at 8 p.m.
Log onto www.atticaracewaypark.com or call 419-680-5606 for more information.
Attica Raceway Park is located northeast of the U.S. 224 and St. Rt. 4 intersection in the Attica Fairgrounds.

 (Attica, OH) The best dirt track late model drivers in the country will make their first ever appearance at Attica Raceway Park when the World of Outlaw Late Models come to town on Friday, May 16th.
See stars Billy Moyer, Josh "Kid Rocket" Richards, Steve Francis, Shannon Babb, Rick Eckert, Chub Frank and many more battle for 50 laps for the $10,000 top prize.
As an added bonus, the highest placing local late model driver in the A-main that has never won a World of Outlaws Late Model feature and is not in the top 12 in the World of Outlaws points, will receive a $500 bonus!
And, if the wheel-hiking action of the late models isn't enough to wet your appetite, the fire-breathing, mud-slinging 410 winged sprints will also be in action!
 "Before the rains came last year, we had between 40 and 50 of the worlds best late model drivers waiting at the pitgates. Fans in northern Ohio don't get too many opportunities to see the World of Outlaw Late Models compete on a third-mile high-banked track like Attica. Then when you throw in the sprints, its a dirt track race fan's dream," said Attica Operations Director Rex LeJeune.
The pit gates will open Friday, May 16, at 3:30 p.m. with grandstands gates opening at 5 p.m. and racing action heating up at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $30 for adults; $15 for teens ages 11-15; and kids 10 and under get in free.
The Month of Mayhem continues on Friday, May 30 when the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaw Sprints will take on the tough Attica regulars during the 40-lap Kistler Engines Classic.
