The London & area destination for fast summer fun, Delaware Speedway is getting ready to celebrate its 60th birthday in style this Friday evening (July 29) sponsored by Exeter Toyota.  Fans will be treated to a number of special happenings including:

 

* Salute to Classic Racers – - drivers who are no longer active and competed prior to 2006 and bring a photo of their vehicle to the track will receive free admission to the race.  The track would appreciate it if drivers can leave their photos with the speedway, however it is not mandatory to do so.  The track is asking for the help of race fans to spread the word about this promotion, as racers from the past may not necessarily be connected to internet media.

 

* Official opening of the speedway’s history photo gallery, located in the base of the broadcast tower.  Fans and drivers alike will be able to look through time at photos of the past donated to the track’s ongoing history project.

 

* Classic Car Cruise at 7:00 pm. The event is being organized by a familiar face at local cruise nights, Ken Chaplin (519) 691-0398.  The group will be meeting in the field by the pit entrance starting at 5:00 pm.

 

* A number of special Delaware history displays including actual race cars that competed at the track in the 50's and 60's.

 

* A ‘special event’ lineup and a ‘regular event’ price! The lineup features Canadian Vintage Modifieds, FT Garage Late Models, Dynamic Fluid Super Stocks, and a GAW Recycing Enduro 35-lap challenge.  This full of a lineup would normally see an increased admission, but for this night only in celebration of 60 years of racing, entry prices will be frozen at the regular rate.

 

* Kids Club & Hoppy the Clown: both will be on site prior to the races.

 

Kids 12 and under are free to the event, adults are $16, seniors and students are $12.  Camping is also free of charge behind the back straight.  Spectator gates for the race open at 6:00 pm, racing starts at 8:00 pm.  Don’t miss out on a very special night at the London & area destination for fast summer fun: Delaware Speedway.
