SPEEDWEEK 2010 IS ALL SET
The 2010 addition of PA 600 Speedweek is finally ready to go! With all the planning and preparation of this coming years event, not alot will change. Adhering to the old adage, if it aint' broke, dont fix it, we have made little changes to this years events. The tracks remain the same, the rules remain the same, only the dates have changed! Opening on the 26th of June at Trailway Speedway and Ending on the 3rd of July at Lanco Speedway for the second edition of Micro-Mania. Tuesday and Wednesday remain open for "Rayne" days. Some new sponsors will come on board, and some old ones have gone by the wayside. Passing points will again be used in double heat races to set the 26 car feature field. Open motor rules again will be used. Alot of discussion was used again on this sensitive issue. We felt that there is absolutely no possible way to tech the cars the proper way for current rules and still remain on a sensible timetable after each race and moving on to the next night. In short, it would be a nightmare! Anyone wishing to discuss this may do so by contacting Dan or Trip directly. Parts will be available at the track from the Speedweek sponsors who participate this years program as an "A" main or "B" sponsor as exclusive parts dealers. A mandatory right rear compound will remain in effect also. Stay tuned to this wesite for further news and developments as time goes on. Good Luck to everyone leading up to this years events.

THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT 2009
Dan and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the drivers, owners, crews, families, tracks, track owners and workers who helped make this another successful week of racing. So much effort goes into the week from behind the scenes people to make it work. I know a message board thank you seems hardly enough praise, but please understand it is greatly appreciated. A few special thanks from everyone has to go to Kim Murphy for her scoring during the week, a tireless, thankless task...To Barry Dicely for assisting with the tech during the week...to Mike Batz from Linda's Speedway for his PR efforts and to Dan Arter of Arter Graphics for his prompt website updates, you two worked well together all week....to Ashley Little and Robyn Deitz for the help with administrative work, t shirts and so much more. Also to Tim Bortz and Rich Fox and the entire LANCO team for a smooth well run show. The facility is second to none in terms of organization, appearance, atmosphere, preparation, and hospitality. Barry brings a true professional feel to the track with his voice and commentary, as well as his want of information before the show to make sure the racers get their due. Once again we will be taking the next few weeks to look at the overall state of affairs for the 2010 Speedweek agenda and we will let you know right away of any changes being made. We were able to talk to many of the teams that traveled all week with us as well as teams that were at a show or two, your input is important to us. As we look back, we were suprised to see that our car count was off only 15% from last year. We averaged 84 cars a night in 2008 and 73 cars per night in 2009. That is in sharp contrast that sees most tracks showing a 30 to 35% downturn on regular nights. We already have some fun changes in mind for next year to keep things interesting as well as some changes to protect ourselves with monies and prizes. Support our sponsors, if they tell us no for next year or any year for that matter, it wont happen. Remember, you cant go many places and enter a car for 25.00 and you get in for 20.00 and go home with 80.00 for finishing 7th in the "B" main and not even make the show. Someone has to make that possible. Help us help you to have another great week next year. Thanks again to everyone!
