Middleford Speedway gearing up for 2005 season
by Frank Marsh
SEAFORD, Del. -- As the Middleford Speedway 2005 racing season vastly
approaches fans and drivers alike will see some major changes at the speedway.
Gone is the 1/5-mile banked oval, Being replaced with a 1/4-mile semi-banked
oval. Track owner Tom Morris sited track preparation as the reason.
“Last year we fought rough track conditions because of the weather as well as
not being able to get the equipment on the track because of the banking. I also
think it will improve the caliper of competition,” stated Morris.
In other news, the slingshots and the super carts have been dropped from weekly
competition. Poor car counts the culprit. Replacing those divisions will be a
new semi-late model class. This division will basically be a three quarter scale
late model. You can contact Tom Morris for info about the new class at
302-628-2654. Also in competition in 2005 will be 250cc stock and 125cc stock
micro-sprints. These two classes will rotate every other week. The Ford Focus
Midgets will be making an appearance at the speedway in '05. That date will be
announced as soon as it is available.
The sponsorship trail continues to grow weekly. Bi-rite Auto Sales of Seaford
returns to be the class sponsor for the 250 Jr. class. Clarks Pools of Seaford
has signed up to be the class sponsor of the 600cc class and Skipjack’s
Restaurant of Seaford will come on board to sponsor the 270cc class. The
2005-point champion in these divisions will receive at least $1000.00 at next
years awards banquet.
Middleford Speedway is actively seeking a race director for 05. Anyone
interested call Paige Lynch at 302-422-8486. February 10 thru 13 will find
Middleford Speedway at the 15th annual “Motorsports Mania” racecar show at the
Center in Salisbury, Md. Schedules and much more will be available. Anyone
wanting to volunteer some time helping get the track done just show up on the
weekends.
