                                                     Major Improvements at Blackbird MQRC

Did you visit Blackbird QMRC last year and trip on a rock in the pit area? Were you a corner worker in turn one and have to stand on an old pallet? When you were in the staging lane did you not fit under the canopy? Did you worry about not having enough room in the hot chute? Well no more worries.

Blackbird has made some major improvements to their facility this year. They brought in new clay over the winter, made decks with umbrellas for the corner workers, built a shed to enclose the scale and added a third canopy to the staging grid. The biggest improvement was paving the pit area and widening the hot chute. "One of our biggest complaints last year was people tripping on rocks in our pits" said club President Ken Traino, "It was brought up at a club meeting and passed to pave the pit area". Greg's Seal Coating and S & S Paving came in and did a fantastic job. The pit area looks wonderful and was being striped this past weekend to mark out the hot chute, staging grid and pit stalls.

Blackbird's opening day is this Sunday, May 14. Sign-ins are from 12-1pm, handlers/drivers meeting at 1:30pm and racing begins at 2pm. They are also the host for the 2006 Region 2 Dirt States Race on Memorial Day weekend. You can find out more about Blackbird QMRC by visiting their new and improved website at www.bqmrc.org.

               Annual Driving Experience a huge success for Blackbird Quarter Midget Race Club

This past Sunday, 82 kids from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland braved 40 degree weather and the threat of rain to take their turn in a Quarter Midget race car for 10 laps around the 1/20th mile clay oval known as Little Airport Speedway. Celebrating 21 years of racing and located in New Castle, DE, Blackbird QMRC ran an action packed day that was non stop from 11am until 6:30pm. Veteran drivers Tyler Tank, Randy Burns, Alessa Young and Brandon Traino started the day off with a demonstration of their abilities and gave the crowd a fantastic show. "When we opened the sign-ins at 10:30am and immediately had 40 people in line, I thought this is going to be a great day", said BQMRC President Ken Traino "30 kids were pre-registered and we expected to hit 50 to match last years numbers but the sign-ins never stopped. Our concession stand twice sold out and the 20 plus vendors that were there had an excellent day as well." Each driver received a participation award at the completetion of their 10 laps and each one had a smile when they came off the track.

BQMRC's Novice Director, Tony Bozowski, ran the event and was pleased with the 80 plus kids. Blackbird signed up at least 5 drivers from the event for Novice training and are expecting more this week. The Blackbird Board wishes to thank all the members that help out all day and donated their cars for the children to use. Novice School begins this Sunday, April 2, at 9am with classroom and on track instruction and concludes 5 weeks later with evaluations and a mock race day. For more information about their Novice School, contact Tony at (bozowski17@aol.com). Stop by www.bqmrc.org  for more club information. Opening Day is Sunday, May 14th, sign-ins are from 12-1pm and racing begins at 2pm.

Blackbird QMRC To Host Driving Experience and Swap Meet

Blackbird Quarter Midget Race Club will be hosting two fantastic events on March 26th, 2006. From 11:00 to 6:00 PM, Blackbird Speedway in New Castle, DE will host not only a top notch quarter midget swap meet but a “Driving Experience” for kids ages 5-15.

The swap meet will feature a wide array of great deals offered by vendors, parts dealers and quarter midget families looking to move some of their gear at great prices. This will be a great place to bring that car you need to sell to make room for the new one or pick up some spare parts to keep your quarter midget program moving along in 2006!

As well, kids from ages 5-15 can experience the thrill and excitement of driving a race car first hand! For the low, low price of $20 any child can try their hand at racing for 10 green flag laps. The only stipulations to getting inside one of these safe quarter midgets is that  he child must wear long jeans, socks and sneakers. Of course there will be a classroom session to explain the operation of the race car as well as a  “walk the track” session. If interested please bring a birth certificate to verify your child’s age.

Tony Bozowski, Novice Director at Blackbird Speedway, will also be on hand to meet and greet racers interested in Novice School which begins on April 2nd! All novice school attendees must be paid in full one week prior to the beginning of novice school. Both signup and payment can be taken care of at the Driving Experience/Swap Meet.

Please contact Ken Traino at Trainoracing@comcast.net  or 856-667-8244 (6PM-10PM) for more information regarding either event. For more information on the Blackbird Quarter Midget Race Club you may go to their home on the web at www.BQMRC.com  or call the hotline at 302-328-1553. We
look forward to seeing you on March 26th!
