Hilltop and Ohio Valley,
Friday and Saturday $1,500 to win
The
Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour presented by Arizona Sport Shirts has added two
shows to their 2014 season schedule. On August 1 the RoD will invade Hilltop
Speedway for $1,500 to win and on Aug 2 the Ohio Valley Speedway for $1500 to
win, in an exciting double header weekend against the AMRA’s best. Race fans
are highly anticipating the ‘shootout’ between the traveling series regulars
from at least six states and those who have made the local area their stomping
grounds since dirt modifieds got their start in the region over twenty years
ago.
The
battle will begin on Friday August 1 as the RoD Modified Tour presented by
Arizona Sport Shirts will invade Hilltop Speedway in Marietta, Ohio
for the first night of the “Ohio River Shootout”. Saturday August 2 will be the
second night of the “Ohio River Shootout” at Ohio Valley Speedway in Lubeck, W.Va.
