Motorsports Expo 2005 January 16
I took a ride to the motorsports expo in Fort Washington today. It was pretty typical year as far as the number of displays. I was a little disappointed that their was no New Egypt Speedway or Old Bridge Raceway Park displays. I can’t same I was surprised about the lack of a New Egypt Speedway display since they had a “disagreement” with Area Auto Racing News (which is the promoter of the event).
The most interesting display to me was the PA Posse USAC Ford Focus Midget Series. I talked to the people planning it and they are going to have about 6 to 8 exhibition races at 3 or 4 tracks in 2005, with a full schedule in 2006. I’m sure this series will make ARDC happy, but I’m interested to see how they do. The more wingless midget racing in the area, the happier I’ll be.
