Pennsylvania wingless sprint fans have for many years been traveling to the Indy area sometimes on a weekly and biweekly basis to watch wingless sprints. For these people wingless is the traditional sprint car, the way they should be. From time to time a wingless show is held, the yearly show at Mercer comes to mind. Several years ago I tried to organize a series, The Wingless Warriors. Although some tracks showed some interest none were willing to have a show except Tri-City Speedway in Franklin. These great folks at Tri-City gave it a shot, and some observers to this day will tell you after all of the drivers got it figured out it turned out to be one of the best sprint car races they had ever seen.
Now after a six year dry spell, I have been contacted by the management of the New Gamblers Raceway Park in Clearfield, to once again let loose the Wingless Warriors on their racetrack warpath. Together with GM Dick DeLisle we have scheduled the first show for Sunday June 24th. Gates will open at 2pm with racing at 5pm, with this earlier start date working people will be able to get home in a timely fashion. This is an old fashioned “Run What You Brung” competition. It is open to all engine specs from 305 to 410, and including the “Green Flag” type of sprinters.
Sprint car pre-registration is free, registration the day of the show will be $25. You can register by email elp1177@hotmail.com (insert “sprint” in the subject line) or phoning at 814.263.4326, if you see Rick Rarer or Daryl Stimeling at the track they will also have registration flyers. Gamblers regular pit and grandstand admission pricing will be in effect, please check Gamblers website www.gamblersracewaypark.com. Also on tap for the same evening will be 270 & 600 Micro Sprints. I will post more on the Micro Sprints as I receive information.
I ask fans and drivers to please turn out for this event as the continued success of wingless and micros at Gamblers will depend very much on this first show
