50 years ago this weekend, mankind succeeded at something incredible that we celebrate to this day as one of our greatest achievements, we landed on the moon. In a space race against the Soviet Union, it would be 2 brave Americans, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong who crossed the finish line first. To this day, the men and women of the Apollo missions are celebrated as American heroes. They are the subjects of movies, documentaries and TV shows still being produced all these decades later.
Anthony Perrego christened the new racing surface at the Orange County Fair Speedway with the best night of his Small Block Modified racing career Saturday evening as he dismantled all of his competition by sweeping a pair of 25-lap feature races.
The traveling racing warriors of the Super DIRTcar Modified Series (SDS) roll into town Thursday, July 18 ready to battle the weekly Big-Block Modified competitors on the five-eighths-mile Orange County Fair Speedway’s Hard Clay track.
At the careful consideration of our track crew and management, July 13th's schedule has been modified to allow for our Small Block modified drivers to get more track time on the new surface.
- Upon entering the pit area SBM drivers will draw a number at the officials stand (in pits) to determine their heat race starting spot.
- SBM’s will have a traditional Hot Lap / Warm Up session. No qualifiers will come from Hot Lap session.
- SBM’s will have 1 or 2 consis as needed.
- 1st Feature lineup will be heads up based on heat finish.
- 2nd Feature lineup will be an invert. Amount of cars inverted will be determined by a random draw from 1st Feature winner in Victory Lane.
We will be holding an OPEN practice session this Sunday July 14th at the Speedway. Our Wednesday track test went well and we would like to give all teams the opportunity to test on the new track surface. Session will run from 5PM to 8PM with gates opening at 3:00.
