  Racers give positive response after Bloomsburg Fair Raceway Test and Tune…"Mr. Excitement" Jimmy Spencer named Grand Marshall for April 20 season opener

  (Bloomsburg, PA 4-14-23): In advance of the third season of racing at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway slated for April 20, a Test and Tune session was held this past Thursday evening and it was a twofold of sorts. For promoter Rich Tobias it gave him a good bit of insight into weeks of preparation after cars made laps on the newly resurfaced 3/8-mile dirt oval while for drivers it was an opportunity to not only do shake down runs but also see how the work by Tobias was what they hoped to expect from his years of track prep expertise. And the general consensus was all good from both sides. The cars that were on hand all got around fairly well with little if any dust issues, something that was problematic at times over the past two seasons. There were a few cars that also had some minor incidents but all in all drivers responded supportively of the track. A mix of SpeedSTRs, 602 Crate Modifieds, FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks, which will be part of the regular line-up, where on hand plus a few others. "The new surface was good, a little slimy at first but then it got real tacky. (Turns) Three and four is where all the new clay is and it was really good there and it was almost like Bridgeport (Speedway)," said Daryl Dissinger of Harrisburg, who runs a 602 Crate Modified. "I never used a tear-off every time I went out and for the first night I thought it was great. I think for the 602 class this will be a great track and you should see some exciting racing." Dissinger races weekly at Big Diamond Speedway on Friday nights but is planning to make all of the bi-monthly Thursday shows here. The SpeedSTRs will be the headline class and bringing out a new car was Tim Buckwalter of Pottstown. Buckwalter won the very first SpeedSTR race at Bloomsburg last April and is the 2022 USAC SpeedSTR champion at Action Track USA in Kutztown, a Tobias run track. "It was a lot less dusty then the last time we ran here and they definetley got that under control and there's some good moisture in it. The track stayed good the whole time and there may not be a whole lot of cars here but for the amount we have we probably put over a 100 laps on it and it stayed in good shape," said Buckwalter. "Anything Rich (Tobias) gets his hands in he does good at and I was so glad that when he said we were going to get more SpeedSTR races and that he was going to be running things here at Bloomsburg. He won't ever let the track go bad and he'll keep it good for all of us." Unofficially Doug Snyder of Easton posted a lap under the current SpeedSTR track record when is in his second session he turned a 17.728. Billy Pauch Jr., is the current class record holder at 17.923 set in April of last year. "We've been working hard and Ben Stolz (Digital Marketing Manager) has certainly been a blessing with everything both in the office and helping me on track and I'm just glad to see this all come to fruition and I can't wait until next Thursday when we have our opener," said Tobias. "Most of our racers have to travel a bit to get here so I can understand that not as many came out for a practice but I feel that once they see the track we have for them that we'll do pretty good." The Test and Tune was also set with a new inner oval ready for the Slingshot cars. However, with only one car making the trip Tobias instead offered driver Andrew Turpin of Saylorsburg the option to run either that small track or the big track. He chose the latter. "Honestly we do it in New York fairly often where at a lot of those bigger tracks they run the Slingshots and its more fun on them too. You can choose lines differently and there's more options for passing with these cars," Turpin said of running the oval similar to Bloomsburg. "We were coming here expecting to run on the little track and that was small and tight. We are small (cars) but not go karts and we need a little bit more track room." Turpin, like everyone else, gave good reviews and feels it will be no problem for the Slingshots to race on the big track. "Here it felt nice and a lot of it's in the gearing and the set-up. I didn't really have to lift off the throttle at all and I would say to all the other Slingshot guys is to come out and try it here. It was smooth and there's a lot of space to race on and you don't have to pull the kind of moves you would on a smaller, tighter size track." Tobias is okay whichever track the Slingshots drivers opt for. His intent is to give them a good track to race on and at in front of such a historic backdrop. "We'll give them the option and if they want to run the big track we'll let them. We're always open to suggestions and this is all new and I think it would be exciting for them out there if they did race on the big track," explained Tobias. "The biggest thing with the Slingshots they're going to be running in front of this awesome grandstands. And with this type facility along with Action Track and some of the other tracks we have, it's great that the Slingshots have the opportunity to compete at a facility like Bloomsburg." Tobias has a great reputation for his track prep at Kutztown and it was that same knowledge why the Fair Board reached out to him to run the program in 2023. Thursday's Test and Tune it seems has everything pointed in the right direction. "I always try to teach racers that someone is going to win tonight and everyone is on the same race track and teach positive attitude which is very important in this sport," said Tobias. Additionally Jimmy Spencer, better known as "Mr. Excitement" will the guest of honor for the Thursday evening, April 20 season opener. During his driving career the Berwick native was a wildly popular personality both on and off the track. He began racing on dirt at Port Royal Speedway in a Late Model but after turning his attention to pavement and Modifieds his career began to rocket. Spencer became a two-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion which eventually led to him gaining a seat into the NASCAR Xfinity (Busch) Series and eventually Cup Series. Spencer has wins in the top three tiers of NASCAR which also includes the Truck Series. His final race was in Cup at Pocono Raceway in 2006 but afterwards he became television commentator/analyst/podcaster. Opening Night is Thursday, April 20. Gates will open at 5:00 pm, hots laps at 6:15 pm and racing will begin at 7:00 pm.

  Bloomsburg Fair Raceway getting new clay in place for start of 2023 season

  (BLOOMSBURG 3-17-23): In just about a month's time racing will get underway at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway which begins the third season at the 3/8-mile dirt oval located inside the historic Bloomsburg Fairgrounds in Bloomsburg. And as the anticipation mounts there has been a flurry of groundwork taking place both on and off the track in preparation for the Thursday, April 20 season opener. Under the direction of Rich Tobias - who is part of the promotional team that includes Steve O'Neal and Dino Oberto - the track surface has been the focus of attention with most of the emphasis in turns three and four. It was no mystery that drivers had noted those two corners should have more banking and that's exactly what Tobias went to work on, adding his magic touch of keen track prep that has been very successful at Action Track USA in Kutztown where he co-manages on Wednesday nights with Doug Rose. This past week the third and fourth turns where scraped. Once that was done Tobias completely re-contoured the banking with new dirt and limestone clay. The result is close to four feet of added banking. "For years I lived around limestone quarries and I looked at them making roads and I always said that limestone clay would make for a great track and that's what we always used at Action Track USA and it's also the same clay they use at Port Royal Speedway," said Tobias. "We were just very fortunate that some farmer in a field dug down and said, 'Hey I think I got something that you may want,' and we went and looked at it just two miles down the road from the race track and it was an awesome vein of great limestone clay which we'll be covering the race track with." The first and second turns had similar work done last season and Tobias felt there was not as much effort needed on that end of the surface. In all there are plans to have close to 100 truckloads of clay brought in. The clay was sent out to be tested and was approved, showing low sand content. "They already did a great job reshaping (turns) one and two which I did do a little more contouring change to that. Three and four we're basically doing what they did to one and two which is to make it for sure sixty-five feet of multi-groove racing," he said. Tobias was also working out the design of a new inner oval which will be used for the Slingshot race cars that will be running as part of the night's regular program. The Slingshot mimics a scaled down dirt Modified and is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine. They give drivers the opportunity to race without the large investment of motorsports and these purpose built race cars are designed for 1/8 to 1/3 mile dirt and pavement speedways. "It's going to be a challenging race track and it will be very close to the same size as what the Trenton indoor race was. Everyone knows how exciting the race there was for the 600 Micros and hopefully the Slingshots will be looking forward to some great new challenging aspect here at Bloomsburg," noted Tobias. "The biggest thing with the Slingshots they're going to be running in front of this awesome grandstands. And with this type facility along with Action Track and some of the other tracks we have, it's great that the Slingshots have the opportunity to compete at a facility like Bloomsburg." Additionally there will be 100 arborvitaes planted around the outside wall starting in turn one and along the back straight into turns three and four. "It's all good especially for the first time being able to work on the track. They have great equipment and great people that give me what I need to do the job right and I'm looking forward to the big change we're going to have with the whole surface and the type of racing and atmosphere," said Tobias. "It's very exciting looking forward to the start of the 2023 season here. They did a great job building it and we're just refining it. Fairgrounds are what made auto racing in central Pennsylvania and most of all your key race tracks were fairgrounds and to be able to work at one like I do at Kutztown and now here at Bloomsburg, I feel the racers should be ultimately excited to be able to race at a fairgrounds type of atmosphere," offered Tobias. "Certainly come September getting to race at one of the biggest fairs in the country is going to be incredible. The opportunities for the racers to showcase on a great race track is just endless." The Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will continue to keep up its goal of presenting action packed family entertainment at a good value. This year will also be a bit of a different feel as the track will run more standard divisions and for the first time there will be class champions crowned when all is said and done. The season begins April 20 and continues through September 28 during the 168th Bloomsburg Fair. The regular line-up will be the headlined by the USAC All-Pro SpeedSTRs along with the 602 Crate Modifieds, the 4-Cylinder Stocks that will be run under the SCDRA rules and the Slingshots. Weekly driver meeting will take place at 6:00 pm followed by warm-ups at 6:15. Heats and qualifying will get underway starting at 7:00. Pits will open at 5:00 and grandstands at 6:00. Pits are $30 per person and grandstands are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, active military and students. Kids 6-12 are $5 under 6 are free.
