Raceway 7, Conneaut, Ohio has released their tentative schedule for 2008. The schedule ‘mixes it up’ in 2008 by bringing in several different divisions during the course of the summer allowing fans to see different types of cars in action on the 7/16 mile clay super oval. The four weekly divisions will be the Fastrak Late Models, E-Mods, Street Stocks and Challenger Mini Stocks, all racing for their respective year end championship titles. Invitational specials throughout the summer will include Super Late Models, Open 358 Modifieds, Sprints and Mod Lites.
May will prove to be an exciting month of racing action starting off with the ‘Fall into Spring Classic‘ on May 2. The features from the 2007 Fall event were not completed so Raceway 7 will hold a brand new show featuring the ESAB Welding and Fab Fastrak Touring Series, Robert’s Trucking Super Late Models, Zimmer’s Service Center Street Stock Invitational and the Lake Shore Auto Parts Challenger Stock ‘Crack the Whip’. All rain checks from Sept. 7 and 14th will be honored at the exciting and much anticipated season opener.
Points for all divisions will begin May 9th and will feature the Street Stock 4th annual Race of Champions followed by the E-Mod Race of Champions on May 16th. The special events open to any past champion from any track in any year are gaining in popularity each year with drivers from NY, OH, and PA competing for the win and title “Champion’s Champion.
Raceway 7 will host the IRS (Independent Racing Series) opening night in their first-ever Ohio Speed Week. The series of 6 races will begin May 23rd at Raceway 7 and continue through May 31st with a separate $10,000 point fund allowing the opportunity for Late Model Drivers to earn extra cash. Based in Findley, Ohio the series began with 15 races in 2007 with Rick Auckland earning the first point title. With over 30 races scheduled for 2008 the series has commitments from top drivers in Ohio and nearby states for the new season making for exciting Late Model action.
The schedule is still being fine tuned for the remainder of the season but expect to see great racing and family events including Fireworks, more Late Model action, Christmas in July and special events for all of the weekly divisions.
