Delaware Bits & Parts September 17, 2006
GEORGETOWN
Rain ruined the night of racing this weekend. But next week will be the Melvin
L. Joseph Memorial Annual Night, Sept, 22, 2006. It is NASCAR week in Dover, so
there will be some appearances made by drivers.
Bobby Allison will be the Grand Marshall for the Sept. 22nd event. Junie
Donlavey will also been on hand.
Full show scheduled, with Super Late Models, TSS Crate Modifieds, TSS Crate Late
Models, and Little Lincoln plus open competition for Vintage cars.
Oct. 14th & 15th A big two day event is planned with Big block Modifieds, Super
Late Models, Small Block Modifieds, TSS Crate Late Models & TSS Modified.
DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL
Good amount of cars or the relative same, except for the Late Models? Only 10
cars were there. I've never seen that few there?
Norman Short had the new car at DIS tonight. Mod heat 1 had Glen Reed & Jamie
Mills not making it to the track, Mills did get to join in the feature, but Reed
did not. Larry Crouse Donnie Radd, & Eddie Collins all only got 7-10 laps in
before the were out. Lap 17 Matt Jester had troubles and out lap 17. Drew
Simmons had a big ball of smoke blow out the rear on lap 20 and Glen Richards
was out the next lap. All had some kind of mechanical troubles. Lap 17 Ricky
Johnson and Chuck Tucker may have had contact, as they both left the tracks with
flats.
The points battle is really close in a in the modified classes, on the start of
tonight's events Mills, and Wilkins are a mere 1 point a part. I have not seen
the updates for Sat. nights action with the season ending soon, will be
interesting to see unfold. Wilkins had the fastest lap of the night 19.068
seconds and 94.399 MPH on lap 15.
Obits: Hattie "Ann" Gravenor passed away today at home, she was 90 yrs old. She
had been a little ill with her diabetes and her body was just wore out I was
told.
Prayers & Thoughts For Jeff Patilla, Ricky Johnson, and any of the Gravenors,
Patilla & Johnson family. She was the grandmother of Jeff & Ricky. She had a son
Mike Gravenor, that preceded her in death. She was a avid race fan and had been
for many years.
Gary Simpson's first year in late model racing has been very good to him.
Simpson won his second race last night and is leading in points for the
Redbud69racing.com Rookie Award in Late Model sponsored by AutoWorld of Delmar,
DE. David Hill did not start in the heat, but did do some hot laps before the
feature, yet Hill only got around 5 laps in; not sure what the problem was.
Both Jack Mullins, Jr. and Grant Ireland had last week off from AC Delco TSS Mod
feature, Mullins won and Ireland finished 7th. Must have helped both of them get
back to racing. Ryan Walls only completed 5 laps before his night ended, as
Richie Walls, Sr. struggled and headed to the pits too, not sure if contact was
made or not.
Rookie Ross Robinson continues to dominant with his 9th win, it doesn't matter
where he starts. Kelly Putz was really strong early and finished 3rd. Justin
Breeding first night on the track in TSS Late Model and finished 9th. Steve
Bunting returned to the track in the #20 that Brooks Fleetwood drives. Bunting
lost his motor early in the year and has not been racing.
Erik McKinney had his brand new TSS Late Model car, looking sharp with #V75
glowing.
Curt Miles raced against his Father Kirk Miles, for the first time tonight. The
son has been running on Friday nights at Middleford Speedway in Mod Lite Jr.
class.
Ray Everham is suppose to be at Delmar this Saturday, Sept 23, 2006 with NASCAR
at Dover. He was to appear in June with Erin Crocker but rained altered the
night. So not sure who else will be coming. Everham wants to drive a modified
that night. Also the URC Sprints will appear for the last time this year this
weekend.
MIDDLEFORD
Plagued with rain ended the night before they even started.
Justin Breeding #27 Mod Lite Jr. current points leader went to DIS to try out
his new TSS Late Model. Breeding plans to finish out at Middleford this year and
making the switch for next season.

Georgetown Speedway Celebrates Melvin L.
Joseph Memorial Night September 22
By Bonnie Nibblett
Georgetown, DE
..Georgetown Speedway may have opened a little late in the season
with the grand opening near the end of May of 2006, plus the fact the track had
also been closed for nine years or since 1997. The racing on the fasted
half-mile oval track in Delaware ranks every bit as first rate since opening
night. Last week, Run What You Brung night had the Super Late Models lapping
in .15 seconds, now thats fast.
Im not saying everything has been perfect for everyone at times, but to get a
track in the shape as promoter Lou Johnson and the restoration committee have
done so, in such a short time, proves miracles can happen. To hear sounds of
engines rumbling on that circle was given up by many race fans. You always hoped
that some how, some way, the possibility of that dream, actually could happen
was pretty aloof. But it did come true for us this year, so miracles can happen
so lets enjoy it.
A tentative rush scheduled was made, clay added to the track, PA System up and
running, vendors contacted, lining up workers, getting lights up, are just a FEW
of things that had to be done to get this year running, let alone getting all
the legalities straight just to open. No points were given to teams this year,
nor AMB transponding system required. Yet, the track has been kicking some
serious butt so far this year. What all can we expect for the 2007 year? I bet
it will be exciting, just cant wait.
Still theres plenty of good racing left, before this season will end. Friday
nights in the next coming weeks with fan specials, sponsors, appearances of
drivers, give-a-ways, you dont want to miss out. Every night since Georgetown
opened this year has had the stands filled with fans that have supported this
effort to get the track going. Sponsorship with the communities support has been
successful.
Some headliner drivers such as Billy Pauch, Kenny Brightbill, Ryan Godown, Donny
Radd, Wade Hendrickson, Gary Hager, and Jimmy Chester have ridden the oval in
modifieds. Late models have seen Scott Haus, Anthony Rushing, Scott Cross, and
Darryl Hills, and Rob Schirmer to try to go against the locals. With such
drivers as Beau Wilkins, Norman Short, Jr., Tim Millman, Jamie Mills, and Glen
Reed all running in mods. Richard Jarvis, Jr., Ricky Elliott, Ray Davis, Jr.,
Kenny Pettyjohn, Dale Lingo IV, and David Pettyjohn to name a few of late
drivers. Look for invaders each week that go up against the Delaware drivers;
really some fast, awesome racing.
Coming September, 22, 2006, will be the first Annual Melvin L. Joseph Memorial
Race. Melvin Joseph founded the Georgetown Speedway in 1949. Racing was quite a
bit different than today. Nonetheless, it would become a landmark, a place in
Delaware that pulled racers from all over the east coast to play in the clay.
Melvin contributed to the racing industry in so many ways for years. Melvin
worked much with the operation of Dover International Speedway to the distinct
of what it has become today, during his life, too.
To honor Joseph, the track plans to host the Super Late Models, both crate
classes, Modified and Late Model, along with Delmar Vintage Racing Club. Melvin
drove the famous number forty-nine. So the winnings will be as follows. The
Super Lates will have a $4900 purse that night along with running a forty-nine
lap feature, both TSS Mods & TSS Late Models crate motors being awarded $749 for
the checkered and additional goodies along with the larger purses. Melvin L.
Joseph changed the racing world forever.
The Delmar Vintage Club is holding an open competition to honor Joseph in
attempt to Keep The Old Alive. Sportsmans and Modifieds will be running that
night as well. Anyone with a Vintage car that might want to join the action can
contact Sonny Ritter at 302-684-8089, or Jerry Carr at 302-846-9601 for more
details.
This coming week, September 15, GT will have the Big Block Modifieds, with bonus
money for the top 3 small blocks, along with the two crate divisions on hand to
round the track. Admission prices for general admission did increase to $12 from
$10 a couple of weeks ago, pit admission is still $25, 12 and under free. Gates
open 5 PM, drivers meeting 6:30 PM, warm-ups 7 PM. Track hot line 302-856-7415;
fax 302-856-7416.
On October 14th & 15th, a huge two day event with Big block Modifieds, Super
Late Models, Small Block Modifieds, TSS Crate Late Models, TSS Crate Modifieds,
and Little Lincoln Vintage Club for a Blast From The Past. More information
will follow on purses and such. For all your Delaware race news updates and

Norman Short, Jr. took a wild ride on the start. As the cars came out of turn 4,
(Short started in the 5th position) on to the straight away, has Short's car
shoot across the track getting up in the air and hard roll over just short of
the flag stand. Short bit the inside of his month, and complained of pain in his
side. Short was not very happy after he rolled and got out of the car. I did not
get to talk to Short to ask what happened, did he have a little help, or
something broke, not sure? He was taken to the hospital to be checked out. At
the time of this writing, I had not received any updates on how he is doing.
Still no laps in on the restart. This time before the lap was complete; Ricky
Johnson got around in turn 3 and was on the hook. Short and Johnson may have had
contact on the start? Neither was available for comment. Third restart worked
this time. On lap 5 VanGorder got around in turn 4.
Points leader H. J. Bunting went in the pits during the caution on lap 5.
Contact with Johnson earlier? Don't know. Only 20 cars and good racing. Couple
invaders when quite a few tracks fell to Mother Nature. Scott VanGorder, John
Keller, and Scott Ambruster. Keller was the driver that had a bad wreck during
the 2005 champ show. Keller said the car he brought tonight was actually the
same car.

Richard Jarvis Jr. lost a motor while leading at half way through; he took the
lead before lap 5.
Mark Williams lost a fuel pump belt on lap 13.
Only 13 Late Models Saturday night but some great racing action. The top 5
finishers switched to front positions the working through the top 10 with really
good battles going on with Hill, KP, Simpson, Jarvis, and Lingo. Anthony Rushing
struggled around half way and was around in turns 3 & 4, and took the car to the
pits. Hill had the lead after Jarvis broke, but Hill was fast and right on
Jarvis's back.
Once out front, Hill was gone. Lingo was gaining on Hill in the closing laps but
Hill was flawless to the end. I don't thing anyone could have got by Hill. Hill
has struggled this season with good luck or bad. But after wrecking a few weeks
back, Hill was determined to win, with such a hungry drive for that win since it
was the first of the season. For those that don't know, Hill usually has earned
a bit of wins. But it is as they always say; everything has to be synchronized
too, in racing or for that night. Driver right on and his/her skills, the car
hooked up and handling, the track, adding that great factor of a little bit of
luck all goes into racing. Great race guys!!

Chris Hitchens 21.863 seconds and 82.331 MPH on lap 5
Ryan Walls 22.087 seconds and 81.496 MPH on lap 4
Joseph Tracy has having a super second year in the AC Delco TSS Modified class.
He has been knocking on the door each week all year, trying to get his first
career win and got it to night. Great job!
Tracy and Richie Walls, Sr. actually got hooked together on the start before the
lap was completed, but got out from one another, funny part they were running
2nd & 3rd. Laps 4 - 7 had Tracy and pole sitter Tommy Evans nip and tuck until
lap 7 when Tracy took the lead. Lap 9 had action for with Evans and Brad Trice
battling for 2nd place. Trice took the spot before he reached turn 3. Lap 12
Evans and Ryan Walls fought for fifth.
From that point on, the feature really had a change in the racing with Grant
Ireland and Jack Mullins, Jr. having a bit of a racing issue between. The two
made contact on a few occasions the latter of the race to the point that Mullins
retaliated with frustration by ramming his car into the right rear of Ireland.
Ireland got up on two wheels (left front and rear side) and Mullins gave just
one more little nudge and Ireland was over on the roof. Mind you the two cars
were barely moving when this took place, but it did enough damage both were out.
They looked like two monster trucks going over one another or rolling off the
ramp onto one another. I would not want to be in their shoes.

so the lap was not in. Restart again Scott got a good run to hold off 2nd place
challenger Ross Robinson, but caution waved before the lap was in with another
car getting around. This time Ross Robinson got the good start and he did not
look back to win his 7th in his rookie year.

Delaware Bits & Parts August, 2006
GEORGETOWN
I got to go the first two Fridays of August and the track still continues to
flourish. Good racing, good atmosphere, good family fun. The response from the
fans, sponsors and community so far have very supported, and this is what we
have to have to keep racing at Georgetown. The car count continues to grow. So
thanks to all of you.
It was announced that the mighty winged URC Sprints will make the first
appearance in 12 years, on September 1, 2006. The two crate classes will run and
also have a race with drivers in both classes for a feature, and the Vintage
cars will return.
Some of the news going on has I. G. Burton of Delaware (Car Dealer with several
locations, Seaford, Milford, etc.) sponsoring a Crate Motor Engine Give-a-way at
the end of the racing season. To qualify drivers in the two crate classes must
display a I. G. Burton decal on both sides of their car in crate late model or
modified classes. If the driver displays the decals, their name will go in a hat
each week. At the last race in September or of the season, a name will be
withdrawal from the hat and that person will win a brand new TSS GM Crate Motor.
Kevin McKinney made a debut in the #25 crate Late Model drove for the first
time, and finished 9th. McKinney comes from Mod Lites. Herb Tunis had a little
taste behind Sockriters Motorsports #32.
Some of the drivers invading to run up against the DE Guys, has been Rick Hulson,
Mark Wilkins, Rob Ormsbee, Charlie Woolford, Gary Hager, Jimmy Chester, Billy
Pauch, Kenny Brightbill, Ryan Godown...and more.
Ryan Walls has won 3 times at GT but will be running at Bridgeport on Friday
nights small block class. Joseph Watson has won 3 TSS Mod features. Both Joseph
and brother Jordan just started in this class July and both really been pretty
impressive. To just do well in your first few races is a goal for any driver,
but to have 3 wins and 1 win for Jordan is quite a bit better. Both come from
micro racing and only 16 & 18 years old.
This weekend Aug. 25 will be Super Late Models, TSS Late Model, and TSS Modified
along with the Little Lincoln Vintage cars. Gates Open: 5:00 PM, Drivers
Meeting: 6:30 PM, Warm Ups: 7:00 PM,
Admission is $12.00, Pits $25.00, Children under 12 FREE. Track Hotline:

DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL
Gary Simpson finally picked up his first career win in Super Late Models, I say
finally because Simpson has been a threat all season. Simpson started this
season full Late Model after driving Big Block Modified's for some years.
Simpson has just about had a top five finish every week. For first year in this
class, he has been supreme driving and been a force with all features.
Lou Johnson finished 4th but could not make it to the scales when the A-Arm
broke and he had to be towed to the scale.
The feature was a non-stop caution free 20 laps with a 6.52 mins. event. It was
a good race, Simpson starting leading on lap 4 and was gone way out front once
there. But lurking behind were strong cars as well, but he pulled off an
excellent race.
Norman Short broke a shock tower in the feature while running 4th. Bobby Wilkins
was behind the wheel tonight.
Mark Byram will now be the driver of the #55 Keith Coulbourne Mod. Donny Radd
had been driving the #55 this year , but both had different direction in which
way they wanted to go for the future and so mutually agreed to part now. Just as
Will Brown and H. J. Bunting parted a little while back. It was not a problem of
performance, just different goals. We all know that happens in racing all the
time, look at NASCAR. Jeremy Mayfield and Ray Everham although it may not have
been a agreed parting.
Joe Dekutoski returned Saturday to run in the clay with #100J.
Tommy Evans had his back tire ands wheel broke during the first lap and out of
the clay.
Eric Vent made a first time appearance to start running in the TSS Modified this
week in the number 86. Snookie's old number was 86 if I remember that correctly
from photos sent to Redbud's Classics. Eric has been running in Micro at
Middleford Speedway. Eric's friend Chad Clark plans to run in this calls next
season. Clark comes from Micros', they both ran 600cc last.
Kevin Scott, Jr. lead all 15 laps to claim his first win in the TSS Late Model
Class. Kevin is a former go-karting driver and his first year in this class
along with many other drivers from 14 to 17 years old.
Randy Hill, Jr. blew a head gasket before the feature, and qualifying to end his
night early.
MISC DRIVER NEWS: Congratulations to Ricky Elliott and Cheryl for their joining
in marriage Aug. 8, 2006. They were high school sweethearts and had planned to
marry on Aug 8, many years ago but somehow parted and now have re-found one
other. Also, congratulations to Donald Lingo, Jr. and Amanda for joining in
matrimony as well.
And joy to Adam Jarrell and wife Jana for having a baby boy July 13, 2006. Also
Chris Sockriter and Ashley with their new bundle of joy Cameron born Aug. 9

GEORGETOWN
Georgetown was cancelled when a horrific thunder/lightening storm drop too much
rain about an hour before the gates opened Friday. This Friday the Big Blocks
return, August 4, 2006. Track Hot line 302-856-7415, fax 302-856-7416. Redbud
will have the 2 next Fridays off and hopes the weather plays along so she can go
to GT. If you have any old photos for the Redbud's Classics bring them to the
track and I will return them to you, and put what is posted on the gallery on a
disc for you as well. Also if you have news about your team tell me so I can
mention it in these Delaware Bits & Parts.
MIDDLEFORD
Regular 600cc micro driver Matt Esham journeyed to Bridgeport Friday night and
took home a win. Congrats to him and the team.
DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL
If you were not there Saturday night, you missed some really great racing. The
track was in excellent form with 2-3 groove racing all night. High side had
bite, low side worked. The drivers put on a great show of racing. The Modified &
Late Model races were really good, not to take anything away from the other
classes as their racing was jammed pack with action as well.
Donnie Radd picked up his 2nd win in a row. The Cintas Uniform/Coulbourne
Farms/Bicknell no. 55 was not to Radd's likings for the heats despite a second
place position in heat 2. But changes made must have really brought the car in
as Radd took the checkered.
Tim Millman had a new motor for the no. 410, but early on before the heats,
Millman said "This is a new motor, but the sounds I'm hearing don't sound good."
He qualified 4th in the 2nd heat, but with only 6 laps in Millman had to leave
the field.
Late Model action had some heavy hitters, Jarvis was in town, Ricky Elliott, Ray
Davis, Jr., and regular track drivers, David Hill, David Pettyjohn, Kenny
Pettyjohn, and Gary Simpson, were all in the yard. Dave Hertz finally made his
first appearance to DIS this year. David Pettyjohn returned with a new motor
after being absent a few weeks.
It was the quick draw McGraw of Donald Lingo, Jr. that stole the show with his
second victory for the year. Lingo was strong in the heats but with only 3 laps
in the heat he rolled to a stop topside of turn 2. The team broke a shock tower
and pieced it together to sliver through the pack from 17th starting position to
claim the victory in the feature.
Lingo worked the high side and glided through the pack. On lap 5 a caution
waved, and KP on the restart was in 4th but blew by the top three as they were
sitting still coming out of turn 2 and he took the lead before turn 3. It looked
as if KP was going to be the man to beat. Jarvis broke an axle with only 12 laps
in. Ricky Elliott was in a different car #20? The top 10 cars all switched
around in place with good side by side the whole event.
John Curtis was in a wreck breaking the steering link in the TSS Mod feature.
Quite a few made contact in that race. Jordon Watson almost got up and over as
Billy Carr did also in turn 1 when Watson hit the tire head bouncing him in the
air and across the track in front of several drivers. Some drivers involved were
Carr, Curtis, John Wynn, Chris Hitchens, Tim Trimble, & Herbie Hemple.
TSS Late Model/Street had Rookie Ross Robinson finally working out a few kinks
to take his 4th win for the year. Kevin Scott, Jr. continues to be consistent to
finish in the top 10.
Dan Feidler brought his car in tonight detailed by P & S Designs looking pretty
sharp. Only during the qualifying Feidler saw a bit of smoke ease out the hood
and decided not to take any chances and shut it down. It turned out to be a
power steering leak and it was fixed. But his luck was not good when he got
tagged and spun on the front stretch ending up facing the wrong direction.
The Little Lincoln Vintage club was there to put on a good 10 lap feature. Ron
Wilson took his 3rd win of the season after starting on the point. However,
Wilson did not bring the car to victory lane with all the other winners of the
night? He was still there? They announced for the Little Lincoln feature winner
to report to victory lane. If you aren't proud you won, why even bother to race?
If your lucky to have some fans, that is a disappointment for them as well. Just
my opinion, driver conduct unbecoming, I say, and should be stripped of the win?
What do you think? It should be a man law? The Little Lincoln's will be at
Georgetown Speedway Aug 25.

July 8, 2006 BB mod driver Joe Dekutoski in 101J made first show at DIS and
finished 12th. The track was real heavy and super fast. Norman Short dropped in
another motor on Saturday and takes the BB win. Tim Millman troubles continued
when the water pump broke sending the fan through the radiator. Then this Sat.
night a big white puff of smoke blinding all the drivers behind him and ending
his night.
Jamie Mills continued with running hot with the water pump breaking after just
changing it. Veteran Hal Browning has really had his share of bad luck to say
the least in the last few weeks. But Hal says I'll be back. He broke a rear
radius rod while 3rd in the feature, where he hit the front wall just under the
flag stand on lap 12. Beau Wilkins had a flat tire in the heat and was in 3rd.
Street driver Bobby Williamson has been consistent in top 10 finishes so far
this year. the cat was let out of he bag when Mike Michaelson turned out to be
Dale Bounds driving in the # 17 Mod Lite Bucky McNatt held his first ever pole
in a feature.
Camp Barnes was a big hit with a lot of cars and fans supporting the Delaware
State Police & Camp Barnes, Inc. Only the qualifying, and 3 features were
completed before the rain began to drop ending the night. Beau Wilkins
represented DE very well with taking the win in BB action. Ricky Elliott
continued his winning streak winning the Late Model feature, and the week before
he won $20,000 at Clary's track in NC. Bill Brittingham won the Little Lincoln
race. TSS Late/Street action looked to be a good score for Dale Bounds starting
on the pole in the make race for the late models, but he only drifted further
back. They reported they ripped the spline out of the rear. A quick fix trying
to get a good connection were spoiled and did not last.
The Street Modified feature was made up July 15, with Joe Warren winning. The
TSS Modified will make up their race next Saturday night, July 22; the Mod Lite
will be made up on July 29. Jon Callway showed up in a TSS Late Model at GT on
the 7th with Jason Dean driving, Sat. the 8th Callaway made his debut and
finished 3rd in the feature. Billy Mellon had his TSS Late Model in action for
the first time July 8.
Lou Johnson had the car getting hot again the same as last week, they thought
they fixed it but Nah. Beau Wilkins left the BB feature just after it started
with ignition trouble and Jamie Mills was plagued with more problems ending his
night early. Donny Radd earned a well deserved win Saturday night in the Cintas,
Keith Coulbourne's owned BB. Jack Mullins, Jr. racked up his 4th win in the TSS
Mod feature and sported a new look since they had sold the sponsor restaurant.
Randy Hill, Jr. picked up his first career win at DIS Saturday night.

Cliff Foskey may have started 2nd, but he worked for his first win for 2006 on
his sponsor's Sponsor night by Scott's Furniture. Only 1 lap in Foskey leans
into turn 3, as leader Glen Reed went into turn3 just a bit out of line Foskey
shoots to the bottom and took the lead. Lap 8 yellow brought Reed and Foskey
still in 1 & 2 on the restart, but Reed gets a flat on the restart; on that
restart Wilkins darts to 2nd. At 1/2 way it was Foskey, Wilkins, Ricky Johnson,
H. J. Bunting, and Donny Radd. Bunting's car was reeling in and coming together
as he moved to 3rd on lap 13. Lap 15 Johnson challenge Bunting on the outside
but Bunting hold his line. Lap 19 Radd moved to 3rd through turns 3 & 4 but a
caution is out. Restart had Foskey leading, Wilkins, Bunting, Radd, and Johnson.
Lap 20 Wilkins wavered just a touch in turn 2 but gathers it up but Bunting is
on the door knocking for 2nd. Lap 22 Bunting moved to 2nd. From that to the win
with Bunting and Foskey wheel to wheel to the end with Foskey only having .076
lead. Foskey was superb the whole feature and well earn the win with some of the
luck that team has had this season.
In the first heat, Norman Short, Jamie Mills, and Downs were 3 wide out of turn
2 and someone got loose causing a trickle down effect costing Short his car for
the night, with a piece of the frame missing. Downs had a radius rod break but
was able to fix it. Full field of modifieds were on hand tonight.
Tom Curtis had trouble and didn't run. Short drove the Eddie Collins in the
feature.

Elliott, Johnson, Jarvis, Lingo, and Simpson for the single restart . Lap 18

Georgetown Speedway Will Run Friday, June
30, 2006
In spite of all the rain the east coast has received since last weekend and
several areas flooded including Georgetown, DE, all systems are go for this
Friday, June 30, 2006 racing at Georgetown Speedway. Much of the area has had
severe damage from flooding that many have never seen in our areas. It will be a
project of repair for quite sometime on the roads alone, not to mention homes,
businesses, etc damaged.
Georgetown Speedway will be running Super Late Models this weekend along with
the two TSS crate motor in the Modifieds and Late Models that run at Delmar and
Bridgeport tracks. The crate classes will be running with 20 lap events. Winners
of those features will take home $500, and $100 to take the green.
Last time the late models ran Ricky The Rocket Elliott commanded the track
with some awesome racing between Elliott, Kenny Pettyjohn, Scott Cross, Richard
Jarvis, Jr., and Ray Kable, Jr. Although the drivers he passed, no one had
anything for the way Elliott was running. But the best part was watching him
work through the pack after starting 10th. Elliott made it look like a piece of
cake, with such ease, but powerful force at the same time. Wonder who will
invade this week? The super lates will run a 25 lap feature with $2500 to the
winner, and $200 to take the green.
The Little Lincoln Vintage Racing Club will make their debut on the track, for
first time in a long while. The Little Lincoln racers were to race last weekend
but Mother Nature would not stand for any racing in Delaware. These guys put on
a great show when they race at Delmar. So I am sure it will be just as exciting
to watch these guys run. All the cars are 57 Chevys or models of that era. The
cars run just as hard as the other racers with some great side by side and wheel
to wheel action. They commonly try to run 3 wide at Delmar, so who knows what
they will do on the big ½ mile clay oval. Should be interesting to see?
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 or
www.redbud69racing.com for any
updates.
Also, the Delawares State Police Camp Barnes Benefit races will be Wednesday
night, June 12, 2006, at the Delaware International Speedway; and rain date of
July 13. A lot of drivers support this event and have for years. This year will
mark the 34th Annual running of this event. You dont want to miss that event
and help support the state police. More information will be out on the benefit
soon.
Keep checking on www.redbud69racing.com
for any updates on DE tracks. Also, I want to send out sincere prayers and
thoughts to Chuck Buchman and his family for a speedy recovery and time to heal.
Buchman was seriously injured at Bridgeport Speedway June 17, while driving for
another owner in the BB Mods. Buchman has been racing at GT since it opened
placing an 8th & 9th place finish; he usually runs the TSS Mod class at
Bridgeport and sometimes Delmar (DIS). See you at the track!

Rain! Rain! Go Away! Only Rain Weekdays!
June 25, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar, DE
..Yet another weekend with no racing; rain, rain, go away; come back
on weekdays, not weekends. I wish it was that easy to request racing weather.
The Delaware Motorsports Complex faced, just that last weekend with the rain on
Friday and Saturday. The U. S. 13 Dragway, and the U. S. 13 Kart Club Track fell
to the mercy of Mother Nature with rain all day. Saturday started off shaky for
the ½ mile clay oval events of stock car racing, however just a few light
showers between 2 & 4 PM, with just enough to have too cancel; which then of
coarse, no more rain fell until Midnight or so. Just as I said, I wish we could
order perfect days to get our NEED FOR SPEED itch scratched. Thats very
important to be filled or carried out; withdrawals arent pretty.
Rain is needed badly, and I love to have a nice shower in spring to turn the
grass green, and plants all starting to bring bright colors in the world.
Colors, that reminds me, all race cars sure look bright and colorful. Especially
in oval dirt racing when the pack is tight for the start, and no cautions, and
just opening up 2 wide, 3 wide
Oh! There I go again, drifting off about racing
again. Lets see what has been going on between the rain drops.
Before last Saturday, only 2 event nights were rained out, but June has had 2
rain outs, June 3, and last weekend the 24th. So that really feels like more
nights without racing. Big Block Modified action has been heating up. Tim
Millman, 410, has claimed 3 wins so far, and Jamie Jamie Mills has too. Mills
leads in points with 1020, Millman 888 points, H. J. Bunting has 875, Ricky
Johnson 828, and in 5th is Stormin Norman Short, Jr. 819 points. Mills has a
good lead, but anything can happen; second through fifth are pretty tight too.
Other winners this year have been Robert Dutton in 888, and Johnson in 69 Slow
But Sexy. Millman has won the last two events.
Late Model action has had some mighty fine action going on, with lead changes,
and fast speeds. Richard Jarvis, Jr. and Ricky Whaley have made a few trips
south to run and not racing for points this year at Delmar. They dont always
get to run every weekend at DIS so it is a treat when the guys are home. Kenny
Pettyjohn has won 4 features, but in spite of that his points lead is not that
far from the other drivers. Kenny has a total of 945 points and the Rookie Gary
Simpson runs second with 875 points, only 70 points apart, 810 points goes to
Donald Lingo, Jr. and David Hill with 760 total points.
Rookie Gary Simpson came from being a Big Block Modified since 1998, and
switching to Late Model. Before big blocks, Simpson ran go-karts and claming a
championship, then drove Modified Lites before BB days. Simpson has displayed a
very impressive drive in the number 12K Late Model to own 7 top 5s out of 8
features. Not bad for a Rookie; quite a few BB drivers have switched to late
models as Tim McCreadie, Billy Decker, and GR Smith to name a few.
The AC Delco TSS Modified crate field has been just a strong as ever with a full
field each race night and a total of 35 different drivers qualifying to run at
DIS so far this year. Jack Mullins, Jr. has been strong again this year with 3
wins under his belt and leading in points with 830, Brad Trice runs second with
745, followed by Richie Walls, Sr. with 659 points, Mark Byram has 655, and 630
points goes to Bobby Watkins. Pretty close in points for some, and what a great
show these guys perform each week. Watkins was the 2005 AC Delco TSS Modified
Track Champion. Well just 2 weeks ago, Watkins shows up to the track with a TSS
Late Model crate car and no Modified. So will Watkins may be branching out in
the future with a bb late model?
Added this year to the Street Modified class is the TSS Late Model crate class;
both cars run in the same feature, and have been set to make the cars equal as
they can be. Dead eye even has the ageless Hal Browning, 46, leading in points
with 800 digits; Brown changed to the crate motor this year. Tied with Browning
is Rookie Joe Warren, 11, in a crate motor as well; Warren came from Modified
Lites this year. Third has another Rookie, 16 years old of Ross Robinson, 7,
with 685 points, Kelly Putz, 59, 630 points and Mike Wilson, 12, rounding out
the top five with a grand total of 615 points.
This class has been growing each week just as the TSS Mod cars did their first
year. Other rookies Kevin Scott, Jr. 12K, Travis Justice 23, Shane Sockriter 32,
and Daniel Fielder 7. Daniel has been consistent, Justice is new, and Scott has
finished in the top 5 & 10 last few weeks.
Modified Lite field has shrunk a bit with so many of the guys transforming to
the crate classes. But the racing has been just as hot, with action from Tim
White, Steve White, Brandon Dennis, Herb Tunis, Erik McKinney, and Aaron Bada
all battling for the win. Tim has 3 wins as teammate Steve has 3 wins. Dennis
has one win and Herb Tunis claimed the last Mod Lite win on June 17. Points
leader Tim White 850, Steve White, 780 points, Tunis with 745, Dennis 705, and
fifth has 680 points going to McKinney. Rookies Richie Wilson, Billy Mellon, and
Jody Cahall holding their own each week.
July will be a busy month for the complex. Next Saturday, July 1, will be a
great event going on for 4th of July weekend. The speedway will have the regular
line up of all 5 classes racing, in addition to the mighty wing warriors of URC
Racing Sprints present and a nice fireworks show. July 8, the regular 5 classes
and Little Lincoln Vintage cars race.
Mark this date in your book, for Wednesday night, July 12, 2006 for the Super
night of racing action brought to us by the Delaware State Troopers for the 34th
Annual Camp Barnes Benefit. Always some invaders come to support the benefit
along with the big dawgs from Delaware will go head to head in battle. Rain date
will be Thursday, July 13. Come on out and support the cause and some fantastic
racing for sure. Contact the track office for tickets at 302-875-1911, or check

There were fewer cars at DIS this week, but a lot of the cars that were there
were not at GT on Friday, and same for GT, a lot there were not at DIS on
Saturday.
Kelly Hastings was shaking down the back up car #85M, of Jake Marine Team.
During the 2nd heat Dutton was on the point, but as the cars reached turn 1
Ricky Johnson got a bit out of shape and the result had Beau Wilkins, Dutton,
and Johnson both on the hook. Wilkins did return but laps down. Heat 1 had Steve
Downs II, brake line break and he was able to fix it before the feature.
Donny Radd had a brand new Bicknell with the Coulbournes owned car, looking
pretty sharp. They were testing it and had a little fuel pressure problem, and
elected to use the back up car.
Johnson went to his back up car with the shock shaft and more broke, as Wilkins
motor blew when he returned to the track in the heat and used the back up car.
Norman Short had the battery die in the heats was able to correct the problem
for the feature; he put on a fantastic show up front with Mills, and Bunting. In
the feature Dutton tried to run but only 5 laps in before he bit the dust for
the night.

The Late Model race was super good with only one yellow. Gary Simpson looked to
be a winner until the only yellow around lap 14. The top 5 guys gave one hell of
a race, I would compare it to the almost as good as WoOLMS race DIS held couple
years ago. Ricky Elliot won under the flag stand on the last lap running off
turn 4 by only .025, 1/ thousandths of a second.
David Hill finished in the top five, I'm sure that felt good compared to
troubles the couple of runs. Kerry King had trouble with the value on top of the
motor, and tries to enter pit exit but the cars steers to the embankment. King
should have the car that flipped this coming week. Donald Lingo, Jr. was very
strong until he lost his drive shaft around lap 14.
In the 2nd heat Jarvis car did not get up to speed on the start with Mike
Williams all in the rear with no where to go. The cars drive line shaft that
goes to the transmission broke. Jarvis was rolled off on the hook and sending
for the back up car. The team went home and got back with the back up car so
Jarvis would make the field. Good Work!
Ed Drurdy # 72, of Pasadena, MD visited DIS first time this year only to have
mechanical woes and not run. Ted Taylor also had car troubles not to make the
field.
Rob Ormsbee 119R also made the trip to DIS first time this season and finished
14th. Elliott wasn't as hooked up on Friday night but it was still a great
performance.
Eric Reed was in the # 66 Mike Christopher's car, however I did not learn until
later that it was him in the car. So I'll try to get the dirt, if he is
returning in a late model or driving for Christopher or just a one time thing.

Richard White, Jr. had the pole and commanded the post. Some good racing with
the top 10 and even better in top 5 drivers action. It was White's first win for
2006. Lap 6 White, Richie Walls, Ryan Walls, Jack Mullins, all come out of turn
4 looking for the first hole to groove. Ryan got tagged in the rear and has a
flat tire, and then 2 cars tangled in turn 2 bringing out the caution.
The restart had White leads Richie, Walls (26W) and Joseph Tracy. Mullins
stepped to 2nd and Mark Byram went to 3rd. 1/2 way had White, Byram, Richie,
Mullins, and Tracy. The 3rd through 5th were aiming for that second place spot

Rookie Kevin Scott, Jr. started on the point and lead to turn 1 while 3-4 wide
action developed behind him. Battling for 2nd were Kelly Putz, Joe Warren, Ross
Robinson, and Hal Browning all the way to turn 3. One lap almost in as Putz
comes out of turn 4 and a little bit out of shape as Robinson makes the turn and
heads to front stretch, when Robinson got over the front wheel of Putz and
Robinson hits wall hard, tearing his chances for any finish.
Half way Scott still leads to lap 10 working the inside groove, and a yellow was
out for Manos. Restart Scott leads in to turn 1 & 2 on lap 13 and gets just a
bit, out of shape coming out of 2 and Hal Browning captured the moment and slid
right into that inside line to take first place.
Nice Run for rookie Scott, and fun to watch Hal working to sliver in for the
win. Scott comes from go-kart racing this year. Good Clean racing!
New comer rookie Chris Baker returned to run in the old Jason Nibblett's car
#88C but had mechanical failure not starting.

Mike Stratton no where to go gets heavy front end damage to follow in on the
hook as well.

and was confused.

All Systems Go! Looks Like Mother Nature
Will Not Win This Week!
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 or

KP picked up his 4th win of the season. The feature had good action up front
with Rob Massey leading all but the last few laps. Massey leading started to
slide sideways as he came into turn 2 on lap 17. His tail slips to one side then
the other and makes the save to claim 2nd. David Hill was behind Massey when
this took place getting Hill out of shape as he came out of turn 2, but he too
makes a dynamite save, just he did loose 3rd position and dropped back to 7th in
the end.
On the start Mike Wilkins comes out of turn 2 and lands resting on the back wall
and ended his night.

Whaley no where to go plowed into Geiger, busting the door frame on right side
of car. In the feature, his bad luck just continued around lap 17. You could
tell he was a little upset when he got around in turns 3 & 4, gets out of the
cars and raising his helmet as to throw toward Vic Thomas as the cars are back
around to the caution area.
David Pettyjohn has had to get motors fixed as Dale Lingo also was not running

Two Out Of Three Is How Ron Wilson Sees It In The Little Lincoln Feature

00, Duke Walsen 9, Bill Brittingham 4, Jim Miller, III 57, Matt Johnson 69,
Wayne Wilkerson 43, Jeff Karr 7K.
The Vintage Little Lincoln's "Blast from the Past" visited and put on a great
show as usual. 16 cars made up the field with new comer Matt Johnson on the
pole. Johnson was here the last time they ran, but his car was not lettered. So
during the break Johnson had the 1957 sea blue Chevy numbered 69 really looking
sharp. Great job! You can find a picture of the car in Redbud's Pit Shots.
Tony Daisey returned after getting the bright orange Numbered 7 repaired from an
incident on the first time they ran this year.
Ron Wilson took last year off, but returned this year and has already cleaned up
with 2 wins out of 3 features so far. Johnson started on the pole, but Tim
Chambers, 22, shot to the lead on the start. Wilson moved to 2nd on lap 1. Lap 2
Chambers stole the lead from Chambers. By lap 5 Bill Brittingham had climb to
6th. (after winning on the last visit he started in the rear in 14th.
Brittingham and Jeff Karr, 7K, approach turn 3 when they make contact and
Brittingham left front tire blew and he got around. All cars get by except, Karr
was with Brittingham still and clips the front right side of the number 4 and
keeps trying to go pushing Brittingham. Finally they broke free. Brittingham had
to pit and returned 1 lap down.
Jamie Wagner continued to be strong again this visit. By lap 6 he was on the
move and was in 4th after starting 11. Lap 10 was when more yellows came about.
The guys were going to run 2 more laps instead of the 10 laps they usually run
in a feature.
The track was slick and there were quite a few cautions in all the features but,
the Lincoln's could not just could not get past lap 10 & 11. 4 restarts of lap
10 and finally lap 11 start had Pat O'Neal, 00, around in turns 1 & 2, with Duke
Walsen, 9, also involved, going over the top of the turn; and in turn 4 Kenny
Foy, 47, gets around. So the race was checkered.
Duke Walsen had a very hard hit and hit his head pretty hard on the roll cage. I
was told the helmet cracked, but have not been told that officially. Walsen was
taken to PRMC in Salisbury, MD, and is resting at home. He is okay!

U. S. 13 Kart Club Results For June 9,
2006
The sky was full of rain, a full moon, and full of racing finally after 1 week
off and paying the consequences of 2 weeks of rain winning over at the track.
The bottom fell and it looked to be impossible to race, but the club was
determined to really try to get this race in. No decision was made to cancel
with water standing on the ground everywhere and the place just flooded; time
gave the track the ability to absorb the floods. But surprisingly the track
really wasn't too bad of shape to get karts to the track. The double features
were canceled and single features were run. Like they say - It's not over to it
over, anything can change.

added the Big Block Modified back on the schedule for this Friday, June 2, 2006
along with the already scheduled super Late Models.
The line up was suppose to be the two regular classes of TSS Modified and TSS
Late Model that will run each week along with the alternating of Big Block
Modifieds and Late Models every other week. The Modifieds ran last week so it
was suppose to be Late Models this week.
Sponsorship can forward to have the BB Mods return this weekend along with the

both BB & LM.

GEORGETOWN
GT opened and seemed to get a very positive start. The track was fast, and in
great shape especially for the features. The stands were packed , parking had
cars filled in all the green, and considering the weather with rain outs all
around the track it was a pretty good car count for opening night. After all it
was all put together rather quickly to get the track ready for last Friday. They
pulled it off and I am willing to bet a lot of drivers will want to try that
fast clay oval.
The drivers put on a good show, and many hit the first track for the first time
in their life. The rumors from the past that the track being fast was finally
displayed, for a lot of visitors that have never seen the great racing from the
past at GT. Billy Pauch won the BB Modified after chasing Ricky Johnson, with
Johnson losing his brakes on lap twenty and having him to make a change in
driving.
They run the 2 crate classes with 20 laps, I liked that, DIS is 15 laps. Lets
try to suggest 30 laps for the Super Late and BB Modified feature as some tracks
do. This weekend the Super Late Models hit the track along with both crate
classes. The track phone # is 302-856-7415, fax - 302-856-7416. This Friday GT
will host the Super Late Models. Gates open 5 PM, 7 PM racing starts. Tracks web

Georgetown Speedway Resurrected, Opens
This Friday, May 26, 2006
May 22, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
There has been a rumor circulating around for the last few years Georgetown
Speedway, Georgetown, DE may reopen. Well it is official it will reopen May 26,
2006. No one knew to believe it or not. Just as the rumor that Delmar may be
closing next year. The rumor on Delmar has not been true, at least for a while
we all hope. But the Georgetown rumor is all true. Promoter Lou Johnson has
worked and hung in through it all too, and finally gets the okay to re-open that
awesome fastest clay oval.
The yearning to still have, two nights of hot racing action with Late Models and
Modifieds has never left any of us NEED FOR SPEED addicts from the past Im
willing to bet. For years Friday night, Georgetown ran and Saturday night
Delaware International Speedway would run. Georgetown Speedway has not been open
since September 1997. But years ago, it was one of the hottest local dirt tracks
around. I along with many others grew up at Georgetown and Delmar tracks, we
turned out pretty good. Racing is a good family entertainment for all.
With all the work Lou had to go to get this track open and to have it be
supported by everyone in the community has been a tough, tough job, getting it
all worked out. But it is possible to want something so bad, and when it does
happen you reach a new spark in your life and tackle it. With more and more
short tracks closing around us, saving a track and making it the great track it
was years ago will be a challenge somewhat, but very, very possible if we all
support it.
The track will alternate with the Super Late Models and Big Block Modifieds each

Hot Action Continues At Delaware
International Speedway
May 22, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar DE
..The Delaware Motorsports Complex continues with hot action every
weekend. The ½ mile clay oval had the mighty Winged URC Sprints visit May 13,
2006 for the first time this season where defending 2005 URC Champion Curt
Michael burned his way to win his first win for 2006. The Pink Panther Kramer
Williamson was awfully fast in the heats and feature, claiming a lap at 17.039
seconds and 105.64 MPH on lap 8 in the heat.
Mike Haggenbottom returned to URC this season after running an ARCA like race
car on asphalt. He will be in the former #54 which Chris Coyle drove last
season. Coyle will be in the # 92. Another change up was Bryan Seidel who used
to run in the Bostic # 6 will ride in the bright green # 5G. Greg Coverdale
returns to racing in the Bostic # 6. Coverdale has not raced in a few years but
was right on the mark that night. The top five were Michael 99, Williamson 73,
Bill Brian, Jr. 00, Jon Eldreth 25, and Coverdale 6. The URC Sprints will return
to Delmar on June 3, 2006, Dover NASCAR weekend.
Other action on the speedway has been hot as ever in all the classes. Regular
late model drivers Richard Jarvis, Jr., Mark Pettyjohn and Rick Whaley have
ventured to run at a few tracks in North Carolina. But in between they have
raced home at DIS as well as making some fantastic side by side, and wheel to
wheel action. Ricky Elliott managed to visit when he wanted to do some testing
on his Late Model, and claimed a Late Model win.
Last weekend the top five finishers were Donald Lingo, Jr., Lou Johnson, Rick
Whaley, Richard Jarvis, Jr., and David Pettyjohn. Donald ran an 18.848 seconds
and 95.501 MPH on lap 10 in the feature. Kenny Pettyjohn won his heat with and
track fast lap of 18.868 seconds and 95.4 MPH on lap five. David Pettyjohn won
the second heat. But is was Jarvis that had the fastest lap with an 19.378
seconds and 92.889 MPH on lap 5.
Modified action has had some great action each Saturday night. Although, Jamie
Mills won the first three features and is running DIS full time this year; Tim
Millman and Ricky Johnson both have claimed the other wins. Last Saturday
Johnson won with Beau Wilkins, H. J. Bunting (2005 DIS Defending track champ),
Mills and Norman Short, Jr. in his big block Modified rounding out the top five.
Special thanks to heat winners Robert Dutton and Jamie Mills for doing a live
interview on RaceNite radio show hosted by Mark Potter; available at
www.reacetalklive.com.
The AC Delco TSS Modified has had a full field every weekend. Andy Hammond won
opening night in April, and then 2005 defending track champ Bobby Watkins
claimed the next two, and Jack Mullins, Jr. in the Bi-Rite Auto Sales Modified
claimed the last two weeks. This class continues to increase each week with new
drivers making the change to the TSS crate engines.
The TSS Late Model class is new this year, and each week new drivers have added
to the field. This class runs along with the Street Modified cars. Mike Wilson
was strong Saturday night and won last week in his crate motor, but did not get
off to a good start Saturday when he got out of shape and hit the barrier wall
pretty hard just before turn one on the start. Wilson had front end damage and
was hauled to the pits. But the next restart had Gary Manos in a brand new sharp
looking bright green TSS Late Model coming out of turn two gets into the back
wall ruining his chances to run. It was Manos first visit for 2006 last
Saturday.
While all the clean up was being made Wilson, had time to get his car worked on
and returned to the track only two laps down claiming a tenth place finish.
Rookies Kevin Scott, Jr. has finished 6th the last two weeks after working out
some kinks. Rookie Ross Robinson picked up his second win last Saturday night.
And Shane Sockriter another rookie has been right up there each week. All three
of these guys ages range 14-16 years old; future racers running up there with
the veterans like Hal Browning. The class grows each week.
The Modified Lite class count has fallen off a bit with a lot of drivers taking
to the TSS Mod or Late crate motors. But the class has had new drivers coming
out, like Richie Wilson, Billy Mellon. The action has been just as exciting with
top guns switching back and forth or searing through the field to the front have
been Tim White, Steve White, Herb Tunis, Erik McKinney, Brandon Dennis, and
Aaron Bada all taking turns up front.
The Little Lincoln Vintage Club has raced twice at DIS so far. Ron Wilson won
the first night and 2005 Champion Bill Brittingham won last week. These guys put
on a great show each time they visit. If you have never seen Little Lincolns
race you should try to see them. They are more to the true vintage racing car,
more so than the older era of Vintage cars now a day. The cars have not been all
cut up and over stocked. Theyll return on June 10.

being a guest on RaceNite Live show hosted by Mark Potter, shows available on

Jamie has either won or finished in top 5 since the start of the season.
Heat 2 had 2005 DIS Rookie of the year Dale Hawkins taking a wild ride landing
on the roof and end his night. Ashame, but Hawkins and Tom Curtis are running on
a very low budget and no back ups. I was told the frame broke? A consolation
race was formed but not needed with all cars qualifying.

20 cars run in a feature. 2 heats taking 7 cars each and a consi taking 6 cars.
Richard Jarvis, Jr. was at DIS with a new Lazer alcohol run late model &
finished 4th..
Rick Whaley was home at DIS too; & finished 3rd Rick has been going to Wayne Cty.
and Clary's in N. Carolina. David Hill only ran 11 laps, & I did not get to find
out what happened.
Dale Lingo IV, was on the pole at the start, but Donald Lingo, Jr. took the lead
right away. At halfway it was Donald Lingo, Jr., K. Pettyjohn, Lou Johnson,
Jarvis, Gary Simpson. Jarvis was on the move and passes Johnson for 3rd on lap
12.
Lap 14 leaders battling with some lap traffic slowing both Lingo & Pettyjohn
giving KP little advantage to get to the tail of Lingo. Then a lap car Vic
Thomas was trying to get to the inside out of the way for the leaders just as KP
& Lingo are almost side by side for the lead out of turn 4. Thomas came right
down in front to them clearing Lingo but catching KP nose and ending his nite.
When the field reaches lap cars, drivers are contacted by radio communications
of the officials, telling them the leaders are near you and go to the inside of
the track to get out of the way. I assume Vic did not know they were that close.
Bad deal but stuff happens.
Lingo leads Jarvis who took second on the restart followed by Johnson, Whaley,
D. Pettyjohn. Last 2 laps Jarvis is trying to reel in Lingo. Last lap in turn 2
Jarvis goes wide and looses momentum on the crest of the turn with Johnson
running to take 2nd and with Whaley in 3rd. Jarvis collects and brought home in
4th. Lingo was very strong last few weeks and took his first win for 2006.
Gary Simpson has continued to stay strong running in this class with 4 tops 5's.
Simpson last night had trouble not sure if in wreck or mechanical.

Donnie Dutton, Jr. 21.818 seconds and 82.501 MPH on lap 2
Jack Mullins, Jr. won for the second week in a row; Jack has had a few off
nights so this helps a lot. This class continues to grow with 25 for the
feature.
Richie Walls, Sr. started on the point. As the cars reached turn 2 Mark Byram in
2nd got around in front of remaining field, but luckily everyone pretty much
miss him. Andy Hammond was on the hook so he may have tagged Byram or fell
victim with no place to go.
Tonight was "Double Entry" Night where a driver can pay $100 bucks to race in
another class that night and if won receive an extra $500 buckaroos. H. J.

2. Steve Bunting # 19 and 81.162 MPH on lap 4
3. Daniel Freidler* # 37 2nd Track Fast Lap: 22.487 Seconds
4. Josh Hudson # 1 and 80.046 MPH on lap 9
5. Hal Browning # 46
Remaining Field Follows:
Kevin Scott, Jr.* 12K, Mike Michaelson 7D, Gus Economides 30, Joe Warren* 11,
Mike Wilson 12, Charles Jarvis C45, Kelly Putz 59, Shane Sockriter* 32, Bobby

Top 5 Fastest Qualifying Times:
Joe Warren* 21.908 seconds and 82.162 MPH on lap 4
Mike Michaelson 22.098 seconds and 81.455 MPH on lap 4
Ross Robinson* 22.328 seconds and 80.616 MPH on lap 1
Hal Browning 22.336 seconds and 80.587 MPH on lap 2
Daniel Freidler 22.404 seconds and 80.343 MPH on lap 3
Just to clarify the DQ last week for Daniel Freidler winner, a wire for the MSD
box slipped off and the car only turned 5400. They are not allowed to be over
6000 but he was still dq. Also, last week was the last night your car could have
non-soldered wires without penalty.
On the start last weeks winner Mike Wilson almost reaches turn 1 and somehow
hits the barrier wall pretty hard and on the hook. The race restarted and Ross
Robinson took the lead. Ross picked up his 2nd win tonight. This is his first
year after coming from micros.
Gary Manos returned to DIS this year in a brand new TSS Late Model car looking
really sharp. However, in the feature Gary comes off turn 2 just as lap one
starts, and heads right into the wall hard ending his night before he got
started. This gave Wilson a change to work on his car and return to the track
just 2 laps down finishing 10th.
Lap 10 yellow waves as Michaelson got by Kelly Putz. Putz had some front end
damage and Mike Michaelson was trying to tell him with his hand. Michaelson was
sent to the pits for a consultation for rough riding, but explained what the
gesture was for not to Putz.

Randy Hill, Jr. 23.030 seconds and 78.159 MPH on lap 3
Aaron Bada 23.036 seconds and 78.139 MPH on lap 4
Kirk Miles has really had a struggle this season. The last 2 weeks he has been
having an electrical problems and the car just shuts down. Again, it happened
just as the feature started ending his night.
Teammates Steve & Tim White started 7th & 8th and finished 1st & 2nd, continuing
to be strong runners in this class. Richie Walls had another good finish in 6th.

Mighty Winged URC Sprints made their first appearance for this year with 35 cars
taking the 25 spots to race. The track was great last night, slick but still a
little tacky or spongey. 3 heats taking 6 cars in each heat and the B Main took
6 cars. Great show by everyone in the feature really switching up with action in
the top 10 sprints.
Kramer Williamson ran a qualifying lap of 17.039 seconds and 105.64 MPH and was
almost half track length ahead of everyone. The way he was rolling with 25 laps
for a heat he may have just lapped the whole field.
Williamson started on the pole, with Mike Haggenbottom, Midge Miller, Bill
Brian, Jr., Jon Eldreth 25. Both Brain Seidel, and Jason Clauss had some
mechanical problems bringing out the yellow twice on lap 3 and 4. It was a
single file restart the second restart as Eldreth and Brian battle for 3rd. By
lap 5 defending 2005 URC Champion Curt Michael had moved into 5th after starting
11th.
A lot of change ups this year. Haggenbottom returned back to a URC in the # 54 6
Bostic
Brain Seidel is now driving the bright green #5G. Greg Coverdale returned to the
series this year and driving Bostic #6 (Seidel old seat) seat this year after
racing in a asphalt division. . A few guys I have not seen before were Will
Urkuski 14, Adam Gordon 2W, Brook Weibly 56, and Jamie Bodo 21B. Trevor Lewis
was in # 56 last year and Kevin Welsh was in # 2W. Chris Coyle is in the # 92
instead of the # 54.
Rookies this year are Davey Sammons* coming from 600cc Micros to the more power
of the URC Series, as Rob Stillwagon* 89, Jeff Fithian* 54P are to rookies.

The Late Model feature was a hot one! As Randy Jackson from American Idol says "
We got a hot one up in here tonight" What a great action race with passing and
some great side by side racing with all the front runners, which was half the
field. They were three wide on the start with Elliott, K Pettyjohn, and Rob
Schirmer. Then wide down the backstretch and 3/4 wide in turn 3 with KP, Lou
Johnson, Donald Lingo, Jr., and rob Massey. Elliott started 10th and worked the
outside gaining spots each lap and so was KP, Lingo, and Johnson. At half way KP
moved to 2nd, the top 8 battled and what a show it was.
Donald Lingo had one of his best runs to finish, Johnson, Gary Simpson, and KP,
David Hill, all swapped places throughout the entire 20 laps. Simpson has
continued to be a force in his first year of driving Late Model.
Ricky Elliott forego the visit to Clary's this week to do some testing at DIS.
It may have just paid off as he won the feature.
Also, HATS OFF to Kenny Pettyjohn for winning his 100th race at DIS the week
before.

There were 3 heats, 1 consi with a total of 25 cars to gain the last 20th spot
available for the feature.
Keith Jackson, a 16 year old out of the Upper MD area; as I forgot to write it
down it seems. He has been racing the last 2 yrs The Rock, Hagerstown, etc. and
decided they would come to DIS and check it out. Well, Keith got a 10th place
spot first time on the track. Way to go!
Some pretty good competition with the heavies of late model drivers were toe to
toe. Kenny Pettyjohn collected his 2nd win at DIS.
Ray Davis, Jr. made his first visit to DIS for the season, good to see them on
the track.
Richard Jarvis Jr. made his first appearance at DIS Saturday. The time listed on
the feature was the time on the sheets. I don't even know if that speed is
possible. Track Fast Lap: 11.703 Seconds and 153.807 MPH on lap 14 but hey what
do I know.
Gary Simpson has moved into Late Model racing as I mentioned before, but Gary
has really been hanging in there near the front with the rest of the regular
late drivers.
Bobby Dryden returned to DIS in the #44 Late Model
Special thanks to David Pettyjohn for doing a live interview with Mark Potter on
RaceNite. David won the consi and was last weeks winner.

and finished 15th.

With Just One In The Books
April 23, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar, DE.....With just about all of the East Coast dripping in rain, forcing
any tracks hopes of running last weekend; yet, the desire has not been deterred
for the fans, and teams. With just one night of racing on the half-mile clay
circle it managed to master the start of the adrenalin to feed that fever for
NEED FOR SPEED that exist and must be fed often. The Delaware International
Speedway first and only practice fell short due to rain on April 8, then the
track ran the first event on 15th of April, and with this past weekend ending
before a start canceling the first appearance of the mighty-winged URC Sprints.
The entire Delaware Motorsports Complex was one of the tracks to forfeit to
Mother Nature last weekend, closing the kart track on Friday, ½ mile oval track
on Saturday, and the ¼ mile dragway on Sunday. The rains were much needed but
lets just hope from now on it falls during the week. We wait all winter for the
season to start at the complex to please which type of fix you need rather the
going straight, or around in circles.
The opening night air was as warm as an early summer night, not having to hover
in the stands freezing as the many years before. With just that one night of
racing on the speedway, theres a lot of dirt on the teams and drivers; it will
be interesting this year to keep up to speed on things. Although I tend to favor
the speedways action, as that is my forte, all the action each weekend at the
complex should fill all your needs in racing; although, most die-hards never
want the night of racing to end.
Each year the tracks get new drivers, old drivers returning, and ones changing
one from one type of racing into another grade. Two years ago Promoter Charlie
Cathell introduced the sealed crate engine called the AC Delco TSS Modified as a
new racing class for drivers to race economical and have the option to move from
the AC Delco Modified to the Big Block Modified. The TSS Modified has proven
each year to grow and let many a chance to race. This season while the TSS
Modified starts the 3rd year, a new class has been added in the Street Modified.
The intentions of adding the sealed crate motor to the Street Modified Class
will have both racing of the regular Street Modifieds along with the crate motor
late model. The same reasons of transferring into the Late Model class with some
minor changes as the TSS Modified did would be an option for street drivers in
this class.
Options and rules to suit both types of cars to be on a level playing field have
been set and enacted. On opening night some of the regular drivers in this class
switched to the new set up as it were more economical to use that motor, and
more than likely it will last longer then what motor they usually run in streets
division.
2005 DIS Champion Steve Bunting started right where he left on last season with
the first win of the year. Finishing the top five were Hal Browning, rookie Joe
Warren, Chris Sockriter and Kelly Putz.
Mike Wilson two time winner in the Street Modified # 12W, Heritages Legacy
Development, TEMCO Builders, The Family Attic, Knock Out Services has switched
to the crate motor this year. Legend, Hal Browning took the plunge to get the
small block # 46 crate motor to run in the class. Returning after 15 years of
absence, Charles Jarvis in # C45; Joe Warren a regular in the Mod Lite class
will power in the street class and new set up to run # 11A. Kevin Scott, Jr.
makes the change from US 13 Kart Club and kart racing to run the # 12 TSS Late
Model division.
Ross Robinson will come from micro racing to run the TSS Street Modified.
Robinson ran 2 or 3 races in Mike Karrs AC Delco TSS Modified last year and
handled it quite well. This year Robinson will run the # 7 TSS Street Modified.
Chris Sockriters (a street driver) brother will come to this class in # 32 as
well and Daniel Freidler from Mod Lite will drive in this class too. More
changes will come and you will get all the DIRT.
The AC Delco TSS Modified class has some changes going on as well. The class
each year produced 20 to 28 cars each weekend. Opening night this year there
were 27 cars. Many of the same prior drivers, returned opening night adding
Bobby Ballatine #10, Brett Cogdill and his son Michael both out of Jersey will
share # 98 all season at Delmar. Mark Byram will run the Mitchells Auto Salvage
# 57 this year. Just got the word that Reese Carey Motorsports driver of # 21M
and 37 Modified Lite, Mike White will take on the TSS Modified very, very, soon.
Lance Mears # 91W will be new coming from a mostly kart racing. Ryan Walls of
M&M Heating & Air, and the TUSA 2005 National Champion will leave Mod Lite to
take on the TSS Modified # 14W upgrade to take on a new challenge. 2005
Defending Champion Bobby Watkins # 4, has a new paint scheme, Jack Mullins, Jr.
# 1, along with Brad Trice # 33, and Richie Walls Sr. # 26W, all power racers in
this class will return with fun, tight action every race. Top five opening
nights were strong Andy Hammond, Tommy Evans close 2nd, Bobby Watkins, Mark
Byram, and Richie Walls, Sr.,
In Modified News, Matt Jester, slides right on into the Clearview Farms, Matco
Tools # 62 big block. Formerly, Rick Bishop rode in the # 62, but Ricks son is
starting to want to race and they agreed to concentrate on that right now.
Jester was new in the AC Delco TSS Modified last season and will jump right in
to run with the big dawgs. Judd Mills will be in the Big Block #1R, and Jamin
Jamie Mills plans on running DIS this year and took the first win opening night
followed by H. J. Bunting, III, Bobby Wilkins, Ricky Johnson and Tim Millman.
Robert Dutton will be in the Keith Coulborne # 55 Big Block Modified this
season. Bobby Wilkins and Son Beau Wilkins will compete among one another in
Jake Marines power. The season looks to be interesting.
Late Model action had the powerful Kenny Pettyjohn in stupendous rare form to
take home the first win, with Gary Simpson, David Hill, Donald Lingo, Jr. and
veteran Lou Johnson top five. Gary Simpson was strong all night and will be
running in this class after being a Modified driver. Modified driver Ted Taylor
has gone to Late Model # 45 this year. New will be a double entry night where a
driver can race two divisions that may have late and mod drivers switching up as
it seems to be more popular all the time.
Three times DIS Street Modified Champion Mark Williamss # 26, finally makes the
change to Late Model with Bob Geigers muscle. Returning favorites Kenny, with
Brothers Mark and David Pettyjohn, Lou Johnson, Donald and Dale Lingo, David
Hill, Kerry King, Rick Whaley, Robert Massey, Bob Schirmer, and Vic Thomas to
name quite a few. Look for even more cars to come as we get started.
The Modified Lite class had fewer cars on opening night with only 15 cars surely
that will change with more. But the top dogs prove that they will warrant action
every Saturday night. Tim White started the season with the first win of the
year followed by team-mate Steve A. White, Brandon Dennis, Jon Callaway, and
2005 Redbuds Rookie of the Year in Modified Lites Aaron Bada rounded out the
top five. More changes will come about and DIRT of this class as the season goes
on.
Even though the weekend was a wash out for any racing action, next week holds to
offer more action all over. The Speedway will celebrate with the Wm. J. Cathell
Memorial Race and adding to the regular 5 car line up will be the comical Slide
For Five. Gates open at 5PM hot Laps at 7PM. Check the tracks hotline at
302-846-3968, track office 302-875-1911 and the tracks web site at

time trials at 11AM and eliminations at 2:30PM. Sunday will be the first Bad 8
Series event along with a regular program of NHRA/Summit ET Point Series Bracket
eliminations. Check the track hot line or track office and web for more details.
The US 13 Kart Club was plagued with same wet news as everyone else. Only one
club race has run and that was back on April 14, 2006, and 102 karts on the
grounds that night before the rain fell in the last hour of racing. Next race
scheduled is a State race on Saturday, May 6. The decision to have a make up
club race this Friday is not known at the time of writing; however visit
www.dekarting.net for updates or the
tracks hot line at 302-846-2646. This Friday was originally a club date
scheduled off, but with the weather bumming last weeks action it will be hard to
tell if they run or not. So just keep checking as the answer will be decided
early this week.

Strap In, Its Time To Go Racing!
March 28, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar, DE
..April is just around the corner, which means the Delaware
Motorsports Complex will soon be back in full force for those Need For Speed
addicts with weekly action. From Go-Karts running on Fridays nights, to the
Dragway already in action on Sundays to the speedways half-mile clay oval which
opens for Test-N-tune on Saturday, April 8, followed with the season opener
Saturday, April 15, 2006. So strap in, its time to go racing!
Even though the 2005 season is over, the owners, drivers, and crews have little
time to prepare for the next season. For fans, they cant wait for the action to
begin, but for teams a little more goes into their agenda. Most fans will get a
little head start with the adrenaline by attending cars show, and all the hype
when NASCAR Daytona Speedway starts in February. Fans cant wait to see their
favorite driver and new paint schemes or color this year. Who will be new, or
return to the track? Who will be a force in their class this year? Either way
drivers, crews, fans, sponsors all become excited for the side by side or metal
to metal racing each week.
The Delaware International Speedway (DIS) introduced a GM sealed crate motor for
a new class called AC Delco TSS (Technician Service Specialist) Modified in 2004
season. The class was introduced hence, for when a team is ready to step up a
grade or class, such as TSS Modified to the Big Block Modified division, with
minimal changes having to be made it is saving money. In the two years, so far,
the TSS Modified class has produced a grand car count each week.
This year promoter, Charlie Cathell, will be introducing the same GM crate style
of motor for the Street Modified class. The crate cars will be racing with the
Street Modified regular driver cars from before the 2006 style car or
regulations took place for this year. Both types of cars have rules to meet that
will balance the two styles of race cars out as they will be racing on the track
at the same time. This should be another success as the TSS Modified has proven
to be so far.
This Street Modified style of car is much like the Late Model with minimal
changes in order to upgrade to Late Model division. This will offer drivers an
opportunity to compete in this class and not have too many changes to switch
into a late model if one desires. Basically, motor, tires, shocks would be the
only changes to make a switch to from street modifieds to late models. Next
month, I hope to get the DIRT on the new teams and drivers that switched to this
new class this year. For a complete set of rules contact the race office at
302-875-1911, or visit the tracks web site
www.delawareracing.com to view the
rules.
The speedway will also have a Double Entry Night where a driver can race in
more than one class in a nights time. As it stands, drivers are not allowed to
run in more than one class in any of the tracks regular points night. A driver
may drive in one than more class at any non-point events such as Camp Barnes.
This will be allowing an entrance to any two divisions for $100 and if they win
both features they would receive an additional $500. The Big Block Modifieds and
the Late Models could walk away with $4000 purse if the driver participated by
paying top gambling dollar in each of the two features that night.
A complete schedule is out with all the dates of what type of racing, or
visiting divisions for that night of combat. The URC Sprints (United Racing
Club) will visit DIS 6 times this year. The sprints always put on a spectacular
night of fast progressive swift night of entertainment. URC Sprints will make
the first appearance of the year, Saturday, April 22. The Little Lincolns put
on a hot show each time they visit; first race is May 6.
The speedway has also done an overhaul in purse payouts for this season. The Big
Block Modified winners pay will go from $1250 to $1500 for 25 laps. Teams will
be allowed to gamble on winning. By taking a chance and by paying an
additional $50 entry, the feature winner will be awarded $1750 and for an
additional $100 gamblers fee the winner would receive $2000.
The Late Model run 20 lap features and will now be paid $1000 to win. This class
can as well pay a $50 gamblers fee for the feature and receive a pay of $1250
and a $100 gamblers fee will go to $1500 pay out. None of the drivers have
other fees to pay other than admission when racing at DIS. It is not required to
buy a license as some other tracks charge a fee, or pay an entry fee to race.
This should give drivers a bit more drive as well.
The speedway will have a special treat when 6 time DIS Modified Champion Bobby
Wilkins will be competing in the Jake Maries number 85 this year. Along with
Bobby will be son, Beau Wilkins, who will power a second Marine car. Beau has
made quite an impression on race fans too. Modified driver Gary Simpson will
power a Late Model this year too. Watch your favorite driver in the Modified,
Late Model, Modified Lite, Street Modified, AC Delco TSS Modified classes.
The Dragway has just started the points battle among teams. All the classes
will go toe to toe to compete each week. From March to June the Dragway runs on
Sunday afternoons before switching to Friday nights in June. What a great way to
spend an afternoon? Come check out some of these fantastic classic styled cars
with gorgeous schemes for each vehicle. April 9, will mark double points that
weekend. Gates open Sunday, 10AM, time trials begin 11AM.
The U. S. 13 Kart Club Track just competed a second round of practice with the
last one this Saturday, April 1, 2006. WKA Delaware Dirt Divisional Series
begins Saturday, April 8, followed by first club event on Friday night, April
14, 2006. This Saturdays practice, gates will open 9AM, registration 9 10:15
AM. No exceptions unless you call ahead. April 8, the track will open 7AM,
Friday nights gates open 5PM, gate admission $5. Check the tracks web at

will lead or win on a night of racing? How many cars will come out? For all your
answers take in a family night of racing in Delmar. Strap in its time to get

Young Guy Gearing Down The Road
March 22, 2006
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar, DE-Twelve year old Scott Hitchens of
Gumboro, DE, has taken on a new challenge for the 2006 season advancing from
dirt race karts to the Aarons Pro Challenge Racing Series. Pro Challenge cars
are ¾ scaled Nextel Cup style car and Craftsman Truck style vehicles. Kawasaki
1100, ZX11 and 1200 ZZR12 engines, which are sealed, power them, a water-cooled
engine, and race ready when you receive it. Cars and trucks race at the same
time on the track at speeds of nearly 150 mph an event.
Hitchens started racing dirt go-karts at U. S. 13 Kart Club Track when he was
only 8 years old. There he competed in Junior I and II for the last three years.
During that time he earned 2004 Junior II Championship at US 13, and 3rd & 5th
in Junior II Lite & Heavy DDDS (Delaware Dirt Divisional Series) (WKA) points.
Last season Hitchens wanted to run the Junior III Class, but he wasnt old
enough. So his father, Greg Hitchens, said, Last year we just messed around,
since we were not running in Junior III, we decided not to run for points at
Delmar. We found out about the Pro challenge and ran about 5 races in 05. It
was a learning experience to see how things were done and we decided we wanted
to run the full schedule for 2006; we made a call to Walt. remarks Greg. (Walt
Breeding Director of TUSA)
We went to the Winternationals in February, qualified 18th, but on the first
lap his brakes failed and he wrecked? No Brakes! Second night, Scott qualified
13th and made it up to tenth before the engine over heated and he finished 21st.
Well, at least we finished, that means a lot. In March, at Georgia, Scott
qualified 19th and was in 12th position before some of the leaders came up on
him; and finished 16th, but the Internet site has 17th? Either way it was good
learning lesson, adds his Father. Scott is currently 11th in National Points,
just 32 points out of 10th.
I really like asphalt; it is faster and sticks better to the track. Scott
compared to dirt racing. My goal? Well, Id like to win 2 races this year, or
as many as I can. I am looking forward to racing my LH Excavating and Greg
Hitchens Services sponsored number 15 truck this year just get more seat time.
Pro Challenge Racing Series is a way for young and old drivers to race in either
an oval racer or a road racer style car. Pro Challenge Race Cars and Team United
Sanctioning Association (TUSA) joined as the Title sponsor of the 2006 Aarons
Pro Challenge Racing Series and the Aarons Dream Team. This program makes it
possible for young drivers to compete against each other in the Aarons Jr.
Dream Team, before moving to the Aarons Dream Team and it is one of the most
promising divisions for young, hopeful racers to get the experience on big
tracks in these scaled-down stock cars.
Age limits required getting behind the wheel of one those Pro Challenge Oval
racers and the Pro Challenge SCCA-ready Road Racer varies from 12 years old to
whatever age. Age difference with young drivers and older drivers mix it up in
this series as drivers range from 12 years to 53 or so in years. There are over
50 members in the series this year, which range in between these ages. With the
allotted number of cars in a feature, and all the variations of veterans along
with new young driver talents; all in a fusion on the track at the same time?
Sounds pretty exciting!
There are National racing dates as well as Regional, with even more
opportunities in an attempt to score a title in any or each regional along with
the National title, too. That would be quite an accomplishment maybe, a little
something to strive for by some drivers, just a thought? The 2006 National races
hosts 6 events, the first started, with Aarons Winternationals at Orlando Speed
World in Florida, February 9, 10, to Aarons Dixie Shootout at Lanier National
Speedway, in Georgia, on March 11th. Three dates left to go, April 28, Aarons
Music City 50 in Music City Complex, in Nashville, Tennessee. Fifth race,
Aarons Tour Race #5 runs at South Hampton Speedway, in South Hampton, VA, June
17, 2006, and the last National race will be held in Hickory, North Carolina, at
the Hickory Motor Speedway for the Aarons Southern 100, on August 19, 2006. The
region states races are in Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee/Virginia, Canada, and
Georgia.

Can You Hear Those Engines? Racing Will Be
Here Soon!
By Bonnie Nibblett
Delmar, DE
..February 20, 2006
..With the official 2005 season all celebrated
with the awards to the Champions in January, and all the action passed and
behind us in the November, after DE State Championships, the Delaware
Motorsports Complex can start to focus on getting the 2006 season started. This
year racing will be just as exciting as ever with a lot of new drivers making
changes in each type of racing rather it is the quarter-mile dragway, to the
half-mile clay oval speedway, or to the U.S. 13 Kart Club dirt racing.
First, just a quick review of the 2005 Novembers Delaware Dirt State speedways
Champions that worked hard to claim those titles. H. J. Bunting, III of Milford,
DE, made history when he claimed the 50 lap Small Block Modified feature
claiming just over $4,000. Bunting was only the second DIS (Delaware
International Speedway) home track driver, to claim the win in twenty years.
Bunting also claimed his second Big Block Modified Championship of the tracks
regular season. TUSA Modified Lites ran a tight race with Jon Callaway, another
DIS track regular picking up that win on Saturday.
The Little Lincolns on Saturdays action provided the best race of the weekend
in only the ten laps they run. They were 3 wide in the corners bumping, rubbing
and swapping paint. Laps 7 had two individual cars do 360 degrees in opposite
corners but no caution out as they just kept going after the spin around just
loosing a little momentum. The wild and thrilling feature had Tony Daisey taking
the checkered at the end. It was a very exciting race, and they only race 10
laps; maybe we can get them to add 5 more next year? Just a thought!
Sundays Delaware Dirt Track Champions went to Doctor Danny Johnson of
Rochester, NY, in the Big Block Modified. Johnson had been in New York for Dirt
Week and was flown to DIS after finishing there by his car owner Jay James.
Johnson not only arrived in time to qualify on Saturday for Sundays race but he
qualified to claim the pole position. Late Model action had another DIS track
regular, David Hill of Trappe, MD, picking up the 50 lap champion title. AC
Delco DE Dirt Championship went to rookie Matt Jester of Lincoln, DE, in his
first year in this class and coming from go-karts. Jester came on really strong
at the end of the season with that being his 4th straight win in a row. Look for
him to be a strong contender in 2006. Modified Lite champ title went to the DIS
2005 Champion Jon Callaway of Harrington, DE, with yet another win. During the
season Callaway won ten features holding another record for most wins in a
season at DIS. Finally, the DE Dirt Sate Champion crown went to three time DIS
Track Champion Mark Williams, of Georgetown, DE. All in all it was another year
of racing action to end the season. Congrats to all the champs for the weekend
and the 2005 year.
All the tracks have just celebrated their titles in January at the banquets,
with the Winternationals quickly approaching. With 2005 season over drivers must
get their race cars in order to start again on the 2006 season. Many get new
cars or karts, new paint schemes, sponsors, sheet medal and a lot of new parts.
The Winternationals in sink with NASCAR just completed speedweeks this past
weekend. Quite a few drivers travel to East Bay or Volusia Speedway to compete
with some of the best dirt drivers in America; while Daytona has oodles of fans
to kick off the NASCAR season at the same time. Even though the 2005 season is
over, the owners, drivers, and crews have little time to get ready to start in
February. For fans, they cant wait, but for teams a little more goes into their
agenda. For those that dont travel to Florida for the Winternationals have a
little more time to get ready to race. Hagerstown Speedway is one of the first
to start the season with Sunday, February 26, to start with late models and
modifieds.
Many fans usually have withdrawals (as I do) when the season ends and cant wait
for the season to start. Quite a few get to go to Florida to get started or
quench the thirst for that NEED FOR SPEED but many of us dont; personally I
have never had the opportunity to go to winternationals, but I bet it helps with
the cravings. A few drivers that race at DIS went down to give it a try at big
money and go against some of the best drivers in the world. Ricky Elliott and
Anthony Rushing both picked up top 10s last week in Late Model action out of 99
cars entries on some nights. Beau Wilkins finished in top 10 one night and made
the field each night, while Chuck Tucker made the field one night or two. A lot
of drivers were there but did not qualify with such competition and so many cars
trying to get in the field. Jeff Brown, Jamie Mills, Deron Rust and Glen
Richards were a few that did not make the field that race at Delmar.
Another way to get ready for many each year is when the Centre of Salisbury
hosts the Motorsports Mania show, so fans get to see a few samples of the new
cars all polished and new. However, after 15 years, this year was the first time
fans would not get to start the adrenalin shot we all, so need to get through
the winter. Which this makes the withdrawals only stronger to try and feed with
the addiction in racing. Hope next year there will be a show but not looking to
positive at this point.
It wont be much longer for the U. S. 13 Dragway as they will kick off the first
practice this weekend if the weather corporates and the second test and tune on
March 5. Another test & tune will be on March 12, with gamblers if enough
racers. Gates open 11:00 AM and test & tuning starts at 12:00 PM. The first
official ET Brackets date is March 19 and the following weekend points start.
Check the office to make sure they are running by calling 302.875.1911 or the
tracks hot line at 302.846.3968. Check the tracks web for a full schedule at
www.delawareracing.com.
The big speedway will kick off their Test-N-tune on April 8, 2006 from 6-9 PM,
gates open at 5 PM. The first race night will be on April 15, 2006. The speedway
will also be offering a new class to run with the Street Modified class. The new
class will be running the same AC Delco GM Crate motor as the AC Delco TSS
Modified class that was introduced two years ago. That TSS Modified has been a
success for drivers to run on a more economical budget to race. So now this will
offer drivers an opportunity to compete in this class and not have too many
changes to switch into late models if one desires. Basically, motor, tires,
shocks would be the only changes to make a switch to from street modifieds to
late models. A complete set of rules are on the webs web site at
www.dealwareracing.com to all
classes.
Also, next month I hope to have a few of the new drivers making changes to give
us an inside preview before the season starts. Speaking of preview send your
photos of your 2006 car, kart, drag car, or whatever you race to be displayed on
www.redbud69racing.com, many cars
participated last year so some have already started sending them in. You can
contact me at redbud69racing@aol.com to submit or call 302.846.3621 and Ill
come take a picture for you. Redbud69racing.com also has the schedules for the
speedway, dragway or the US 13 Kart Track on the site.
One more thing, new this year on Redbud69racing website, will be Redbuds
Classics. This will be a photogallery of racing from MD, DE, and VA of the past
racing at any track in these areas and few of others from close neighboring
tracks, but primarily from this area. Tracks that no longer run, or still
running, which ever the case may be. It will be for fans to see what some of the
racing use to be in this region. A way to Keep the Old Alive or a Blast From
the Past of where the racing has come to today as we know it. Check the web
site www.redbud69racing.com for all
your latest news and how to submit your photos to be previewed or photos from
the past.
The US 13 Kart will start practice on Saturday, March 18, & April 1, gates open
9:00 AM. The first WKA State race will be Saturday, April 8, 2006, first club
race will be Friday, April 14. For a full schedule check the tracks web site at

elected in the annual meeting held Feb 10. The new President is Chad K. Grosh,
the new Vice President is Tim Crissman. The new Treasurer is Mrs. Morris and

Congrats to all of them. See you at the track!

By Bonnie Nibblett

Championship. The U. S. 13 Dragway has one more event to attend with the Halloween Shoot
Out on October 30, 2005 as well as the U. S. 13 Kart Club one more race. The kart track
will have the 2nd Annual Money Race & Halloween Party on October 28, 2005; previous
attempts for this event had been canceled with weather woes.
The speedway has always drawn in a large amount of racers to compete with one another and
face off with the tracks regular drivers. Fans set up for the 2-day event and cheer their
favorite driver to end the year. The year end show has 50 lap races for the Big Block
Modifieds, Small Block Modified, and Super Late Models. The other features endure a 25 lap
for A/C Delco TSS Modified (crate class), Street Modified, and Modified Lite. Special race
with Vintage Little Lincolns running on Saturday and also on Sunday the Slide for
Five to end the day and year.

total purse lies in wait for the winners. Tickets are on sale now with Gen Adm. for one

The season is really over and withdrawals are starting to grow more each Saturday night
with no events at the speedway all during October; NASCAR is almost over, too. Before we
know it well be craving the race action and no place to go until spring. Many of us
look forward to the new paint schemes and peeks of some of the cars at the Centre of
Salisbury in February. This year there will not be a Motorsports show as far as we know,
so hopefully there will be plenty of preview shots on www.redbud69racing.com. But, the
yearning to get the season going will truly miss this pre-season event.
The Dragway banquet will be Friday, January 20, 2005 and the speedways will be on January
21, 2005. Both banquets will be held at Dover Downs, in Dover, Delaware. The go-karts
banquet is Saturday, January 21, 2005 at the Laurel Fire Dept. view the web for contact at
www.dekarting.net. For all your news and updates view www.redbud69racing.com for more on hours for the
Champ show or the tracks web at www.delawareracing.com.
See you at the track!
