All Systems Go! Looks Like Mother Nature Will Not Win This Week! by Bonnie Nibblett
Since Georgetown Speedway, Georgetown, DE, got the final okay to run the speedway, only one event has gotten in. Opening night on May 26, 2006 the weather was a little if-ee but, the track was able to pull if off and pack the stands and have some really great racing going on. Especially, considering it was all put together fairly quick, and a success.
Since that night, promoter Lou Johnson secured a sponsor to include an additional feature added to the regular night of racing this week. Each Friday after that the Late Models and Big Block Modifieds will alternate appearances for a 25 lap feature along with the two TSS crate classes racing .
The Big Block started the grand open, so Late Models would be on the schedule next. But with Johnson having sponsors come forward to support the additional feature this Friday, the Big Block Modifieds return right back after opening night. Both classes will get to run on the same night this week only.
Yet, Mother Nature has attacked every Friday night since. But this week, Friday, June 16, you better hold on! Why? Because the forecast is calling for a sunny Friday and clear night this week. You can bet a great deal of fans and drivers can't wait, along with me to see some more racing on that big half-mile oval.
That's right! This Friday the Georgetown Speedway will have 4 full classes running on the track. Both Super Late Models and Big Block Modifieds will run a 25 lap feature with $2500 to the winners, and $200 to take the green.
The TSS Modified and TSS Late Model crate classes will be running as well with 20 lap events. Winners of those features will take home $500, and $100 to take the green.
Opening nights winners were Billy "the kid" Pauch in the BB, Brad Trice TSS Mod, and TSS Late Model Rookie Ross Robinson. Bet the kid can't wait to come race there. Everyone will be packing in the stands to see some of the best racing in Delaware on that big wide oval. Don't miss out! The weather looks great, so come on over to the newly reopened Georgetown Speedway for some good dirt shows.
Gates open 5:00 PM, Drivers Meeting 6:30 PM, Warm ups 7:00 PM. Gate admission is only $10, 12 year old and under free, and the Pits $25. Track hotline is 302-856-7415; fax 302-856-7416. Check the tracks web at www.georgetownspeedway.com (http://www.georgetownspeedway.com/) or www.localracechat.com (http://www.localracechat.com) for any updates. See you at the track!
