KUTZTOWN RACERS MAY NEED A GPS THIS SEASON?
Kutztown, Pa. - April 26 - While they will still travel in the same direction on the track, racers (and fans) may need some assistance getting to the Kutztown Fair Speedway when the 2011 season begins on Wednesday, May 11.
Many competitors and spectators normally take Route 737 when traveling to and from the fairgrounds located in the shadows of Kutztown University. But that won't happen this year because, due to a bridge replacement, a significant section of that road is closed and will remain off-limits throughout the summer months.
While a GPS might help, it really isn't necessary. There are some simple options for anyone needing to avoid Route 737: for those driving west on 78/22, take the Fogelsville exit (route 100 South). Turn right onto Shantz Road; then make a right onto route 222 South. Follow 222 until you see the exit for Kutztown.
For those traveling east on 78, take the exit for route 61 South. Stay on 61 South, then turn left onto 662, or follow 61 until you can make a left onto route 73. Follow 73 for a few miles, then turn left on route 222 North. Stay on 222 until you see the exit for Kutztown.
Another option is to take the exit for 737, then follow Old 22 to Long Lane, then turn right onto 222 South at the traffic light across from Valentinos Restaurant/Arby's.
When the new season kicks off on May 11 with the running of the Goldie Meitzler Memorial, Phil Marabella of PhilMar Photography will be the official track photographer of the Kutztown Fair Speedway. As such, Marabella has sole rights to the sale of photos at the fairgrounds.
PhilMar Photography will be rewarding a "Fan of the Week" with a photo of the fan as he/she poses with one of the feature-winning drivers each Wednesday. The "Fan of the Week" will be chosen by various methods throughout the season, and he/she will have the choice of visiting victory lane with the victorious driver from one of the speedway's weekly divisions...the wingless 600cc or winged 270cc Micro-Sprints; the All Star Slingshots; or the Xcel Sportsman Modifieds.
Marabella will also present some photos to a few lucky drivers in each of the classes, and special awards will go to the 2011 Point Champions.
With the brand new season just a few weeks away, anticipation is growing among competitors and fans. The action heats up on May 11 at 7 p.m. with the Goldie Meitzler Memorial, and the remaining Wednesdays in May will be rockin' with Racers Roundtable Night on the 18th and the Mike O'Pake Memorial Slingshot Tour Race on the 25th.
For 2011, Kutztown Fair Speedway is a proud member of the 600 Pro Series. Drivers competing in the wingless 600cc Micros on Wild Wednesdays at the fairgrounds will be eligible for not only track points, but they will also earn valuable points toward the 600 Pro Series Championship, provided they are members of that sanctioning organization.
The 600 Pro Series Tour will make a stop at the fairgrounds on June 15. Extra Pro Series points and cash will be up for grabs on the 15th, guaranteeing the best of the best 600cc wheel-twisters will be present for some wingless, midweek mud slingin' mayhem.
Each week on the Wild Wednesday schedule at Kutztown, gates will open at 4 p.m. Warm-ups begin at 6:30, and the first heat race goes green at 7:00.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available for both weekly events and the big Kutztown Fair races in August. For additional information on becoming a marketing partner at Kutztown, contact Kerry Meitzler at 610-683-8234 or Janelle Stump at racektown@aol.com.
