FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
NOTE: The following are answers to some common questions and, in some cases, an explanation of procedures and policies that are used as a guideline for conducting the racing program. Actual decisions made are at the discretion of track management and the officials so minor deviations could occur.
​
Q: When does Hummingbird Speedway run?
A: Saturday evenings at 7:00PM. (Gates open at 4:30.) Click the "Schedule" link for complete info.
-------------------------------------------------
Q: Where is the track located?
A: On the Reynoldsville - Falls Creek Road (Rte 950) look for the Hummingbird Speedway sign. (The Gospel Center road.) Or - more detailed directions for those who are not familiar with the area... From I-80 Exit 97 (old Exit 16), head toward DuBois. Only about 1/2 mile (and just before the four lane ends) turn right at the stop light just past Sheetz. (Or - if you were coming through DuBois - take Rte 219 North and turn left at the light where Sheetz is on your left and the Pilot Travel Center is on your right.) This will put you on Rte 830. Go through Falls Creek. Turn left on Rte 950. Go 2.7 miles and you'll see the Hummingbird Speedway sign on the left (and the Gospel Center sign on the right). Turn right. Follow the road about a mile and you'll see the track on the left. (Note: If that totally confused you, check out the map on the "About Us" page.)
