[Sticky] Delaware Board - Please...Introduce yourself!

Shadowracer · 2009-05-29T12:35:53Z

This thread is simply for introductions. If you're new here, or if you're not, why not tell us a little about yourself? This board is about building bonds and maintaining a strong community of Delaware Speedway fans and supporters. Its entirely optional, but it'd be nice if you would. Â My name is Trev. I'm 40 years old and have been a Delaware fan for 39 1/2 them. As an infant, my Mom would park my stroller beside her in the stands at both Delaware and Nilestown while my Dad, Rick Van Leeuwen raced his Hobby/Modified Sportsman, along with my Uncles Ray Eaton and Stan Linkavich. They ran numbers 46, 47 and 48, until Dad partnered up with a friend and built "Rick's Banana" number 6. The BananaDad quit racing in 1974, already the costs were getting out of hand, but we still came to the races every week and rooted for the guys he'd raced with, like George Wall, Al Patrick and Ron Pearn. As well I got to be a fan during some of the SLM Export A Series glory days, with Earl Ross, Junior Hanley, Speedy Jack Monaghan, Don Beiderman, Russ Urlin, Terry Kitchen and Don Mallat. (Earl was my favorite, and I never appreciated Don Beiderman until I was much older.)Anyway, not to write a novel, but I'm still out to the track every week. I used to be a quiet fan and a familiar face at the Speedway, but that was it. A couple years ago on a whim I started bringing a notebook to the races and the Shadow Report was born. Since then, I've met lots of great people through that and found out just how welcoming the Delaware communtiy really is. I'm more of a fan now than I ever was, and things just keep getting better. Its a great time of change at Delaware right now, and its cool to be front and center for it!I can usually be found in Richmond Row, which is normally in the last section of grandstand before turn 1. If you see the goofy tie dye bucket hat, come on up and say howdy.And, if you're not tired of my writing yet, make sure you visit the Souvenir Booth on Friday night and pick up a copy of the program. Â ;)

Whats Up Guys, My name is Tyssen and I am the Driver of the Chaos Car SNOTROD. I have been comming to Delaware Speedway since before I can remember. I am currently 24 years old, looking to move up to the ripe old age of 25. In the fall of 2007, Myself and a buddy Decided to make the move from Fan to Competitor and in 2008 we joined the newly formed Chaos Cars. We snagged 1 win and the overall Points Championship. Our car is a 1992 Mecurity topaz with a 2.3L Bone Stock it produces 98Hp. We have only added a Cage, Racing Seat, Massive Steel Bumpers and revolving Green Lights on the roof for the kids.

Hey all, John Culbert, Jr. here, hopefully-soon-to-be driver of the #16 Adrenaline MMA Chevy in the Super Stock class. 28 years old, used to race at North Bay Speedway before it close down, and Barrie Speedway. Definitely a rookie though, I'll try to stay out of everyone's way. ;D

Engine's almost done, hoping to get on the track SOME time this month...

Oh and if anyone has a carb, distributor, exhaust manifolds, radiator and/or water pump, msg me! 😀
