SPEEDWAY PARTNERS TAKE APC 300 TO THE NEXT LEVEL Sponsor Coalition Adds Over $12,000.00 in Prizing to the Great Canadian Race! August 15, 2007For Immediate Release John Houghtoninfo@delawarespeedway.comDelaware Speedway PR McColl Racing Enterprises, United Floors, Restoration Masters, Auto Trim Design, Larry Knott Fibreglass and APC / CANUSA have partnered together to drastically ramp up the prizing for the APC 300. The new prizing will heavily benefit drivers who may not win the race, but still have a good showing: - One prize up for grabs will be a bare Late Model chassis from McColl Racing Enterprises. The chassis is being presented in conjunction with Restoration Masters & United Carpet. The approximate value of this prize is over $5,500.00. The chassis is the primary component in the construction of a new Late Model car. - Larry Knott Fibreglass Fabrication is offering up $1,000.00 gift certificate. Knott Fibreglass is responsible for many of the fiberglass bodies seen on the race track. - AutoTrim Design will be offering $1,000.00 decaling package; AutoTrim Design is responsible for many of the decaling on the race cars and signs around the facility. The best part? These prizes will be given by random draw of the drivers who start the final feature. This means that any driver who shows up to race in the event will have the opportunity to get in on the prizes, not just the winners! Furthermore, APC will give every driver who attempts to qualify a $100.00 gift certificate to be used at any APC store. If 40 cars arrive for the APC 300 this could be a potential additional $4,000.00 available to competitors. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our racers to get some prizing who might not win the race.” said race director Jeff Wilcox, “It’s very exciting to see companies getting together to help out on these events in a way that directly benefits the competitors.” Not to leave the top finishers out, on top of the $10.000.00 to win, the top 3 finishers will receive a commemorative customized APC 300 bar fridge; a way to remember a Great Canadian Race for a long time! “This is an example of what speedway supporters can achieve by coming together,” said Luke Ramsay of APC / CANUSA. “We want to make this the super bowl of Late Model racing in Canada. This is the big one. We want the best guys from all over putting the best against the best.” The coalition of sponsors may be able to do just that: all told, the increase is over $12,000.00 above the original purse bringing the new purse total to $47,750.00 in money and prizing available directly to the competitors. With prizing spread throughout the field, anyone with a Late Model car will be taking a serious look at this race. The APC 300 is the crowing jewel of Late Model racing in Canada. Held annually at Delaware Speedway the event is rich with history and is the top Late Model racing prize in the country. The event is the culmination of the Great Canadian Race Weekend taking place August 31-September 2. The APC 300 will run on Sunday September 2. The event settles both the coveted Delaware Speedway track championship and the Weekend Warrior Series Cup in the first two segments. The final 150 laps is a no-holds barred pedal to the metal race to the finish! Weekend pass pricing has been announced for the weekend: the pass will be just $45 and will give general admission to all three days. Pricing for Friday and Saturday has also been adjusted to regular Friday event prices. Kids 12 & under will be free to all three days. These adjustments combined with free camping make Delaware Speedway the place to be on the long weekend! For more information visit www.delawarespeedway.com.

I think it was a 1/4 mile back then wasn't it. ;D

That was back before the dinosaurs.

You'd have been just a teen then.

;D

Maybe if I was over 30 I'd take offence to that.

I don't think for a moment Shadow was being detrimental to those pioneers of SWO racing. To the contrary, I'm sure he was referring to how close to the roots of racing here they are and were. Shadow was one of the first to help me out with info etc. when I needed it to teach a lesson on the history of Delaware Raceway to the JRL drivers. No shortage of passion in that character. 😀
