Ricky Elliott June 16, 2006 Georgetown Speedway
Georgetown Speedway Will Run Friday, June 30, 2006
In spite of all the rain the east coast has received since last weekend and
several areas flooded including Georgetown, DE, all systems are go for this
Friday, June 30, 2006 racing at Georgetown Speedway. Much of the area has had
severe damage from flooding that many have never seen in our areas. It will be a
project of repair for quite sometime on the roads alone, not to mention homes,
businesses, etc damaged.
Georgetown Speedway will be running Super Late Models this weekend along with
the two TSS crate motor in the Modifieds and Late Models that run at Delmar and
Bridgeport tracks. The crate classes will be running with 20 lap events. Winners
of those features will take home $500, and $100 to take the green.
Last time the late models ran Ricky “The Rocket” Elliott commanded the track
with some awesome racing between Elliott, Kenny Pettyjohn, Scott Cross, Richard
Jarvis, Jr., and Ray Kable, Jr. Although the drivers he passed, no one had
anything for the way Elliott was running. But the best part was watching him
work through the pack after starting 10th. Elliott made it look like a piece of
cake, with such ease, but powerful force at the same time. Wonder who will
invade this week? The super lates will run a 25 lap feature with $2500 to the
winner, and $200 to take the green.
The Little Lincoln Vintage Racing Club will make their debut on the track, for
first time in a long while. The Little Lincoln racers were to race last weekend
but Mother Nature would not stand for any racing in Delaware. These guys put on
a great show when they race at Delmar. So I am sure it will be just as exciting
to watch these guys run. All the cars are 57 Chevy’s or models of that era. The
cars run just as hard as the other racers with some great side by side and wheel
to wheel action. They commonly try to run 3 wide at Delmar, so who knows what
they will do on the big ½ mile clay oval. Should be interesting to see?
Gates open 5:00 PM, Drivers Meeting 6:30 PM, Warm ups 7:00 PM. Gate admission is
only $10, 12 year old and under free, and the Pits $25. Track hotline is
302-856-7415; fax 302-856-7416. Check the tracks web at
www.georgetownspeedway.com
or www.redbud69racing.com for
any updates.
Also, the Delaware’s State Police Camp Barnes Benefit races will be Wednesday
night, June 12, 2006, at the Delaware International Speedway; and rain date of
July 13. A lot of drivers support this event and have for years. This year will
mark the 34th Annual running of this event. You don’t want to miss that event
and help support the state police. More information will be out on the benefit
soon.
Keep checking on www.redbud69racing.com
for any updates on DE tracks. Also, I want to send out sincere prayers and
thoughts to Chuck Buchman and his family for a speedy recovery and time to heal.
Buchman was seriously injured at Bridgeport Speedway June 17, while driving for
another owner in the BB Mods. Buchman has been racing at GT since it opened
placing an 8th & 9th place finish; he usually runs the TSS Mod class at
Bridgeport and sometimes Delmar (DIS). See you at the track!

All Systems Go! Looks Like Mother Nature Will Not Win This Week!
Since Georgetown Speedway, Georgetown, DE, got the final okay
to run the speedway, only one event has gotten in. Opening night on May 26, 2006
the weather was a little if-ee but, the track was able to pull if off and pack
the stands and have some really great racing going on. Especially, considering
it was all put together fairly quick, and a success.
Since that night, promoter Lou Johnson secured a sponsor to include an
additional feature added to the regular night of racing this week. Each Friday
after that the Late Models and Big Block Modifieds will alternate appearances
for a 25 lap feature along with the two TSS crate classes racing.
The Big Block started the grand open, so Late Models would be on the schedule
next. But with Johnson having sponsors come forward to support the additional
feature this Friday, the Big Block Modifieds return right back after opening
night. Both classes will get to run on the same night this week only.
Yet, Mother Nature has attacked every Friday night since opening night.
But this week, Friday, June 16, you better hold on! Why? Because the
forecast is calling for a sunny Friday and clear night this week. You can
bet a great deal of fans and drivers can't wait, along with me to see some more
racing on that big half-mile oval.
That's right! This Friday the Georgetown Speedway will have 4 full classes
running on the track. Both Super Late Models and Big Block Modifieds will run a
25 lap feature with $2500 to the winners, and $200 to take the green.
The TSS Modified and TSS Late Model crate classes will be running as well with
20 lap events. Winners of those features will take home $500, and $100 to take
the green.
Opening nights winners were Billy "the kid" Pauch in the BB, Brad Trice TSS Mod,
and TSS Late Model Rookie Ross Robinson. Bet the kid can't wait to come race
there. Everyone will be packing in the stands to see some of the best racing in
Delaware on that big wide oval. Don't miss out! The weather looks great, so come
on over to the newly reopened Georgetown Speedway for some good dirt shows.
Gates open 5:00 PM, Drivers Meeting 6:30 PM, Warm ups 7:00 PM. Gate admission is
only $10, 12 year old and under free, and the Pits $25. Track hotline is
302-856-7415; fax 302-856-7416. Check the tracks web at
www.georgetownspeedway.com
or www.redbud69racing.com for
any updates. See you at the track!
