The Greenzweig's have been hard at work during the off-season working on the 2023 season details for both Snydersville and Oreville. As 2022 saw the end come to an Iconic event, Alex saw the opportunity to create a new Iconic event at a facility that packs decades of racing history and formed a partnership like no other in the industry. So mark your calendars as Racing Promotions (Snydersville Raceway) and Oreville Kart Club present the Inaugural Pocono Short Track Asphalt Championship Race at Pocono Raceway! The single day event will be held on Saturday, June 10, and feature a wide variety of racing from Karts, Champs, Microstocks, Mini Mods, Slingshots, the Lightning Fast TQ Midgets from the American Three Quarter Midget Racing Association & The PENNY TQ Midget Series, and Vintage TQs from The PENNY TQ Midget Series. The ~1/7th mile track will take place behind the main grandstand on a smooth piece of asphalt and provide a larger pit area to facilitate more classes and entries. More details of the event, including classes, winnings, payouts, entry fees, and time schedule, will be released in the coming month. Alex & Barry would like to thank Pocono Raceway for allowing us and the racers to race at their Legendary Facility.
Another big announcement for 2023 is that the Stage 1 Modifieds will join Snydersville Raceway in monthly showings after a triumphant Thunder at The Ville outing in 2022. The Stage 1 Modifieds put on an exciting show at Snydersville, and the response from the racers was positive, especially racing on the tight bullring. Official race dates and details regarding payout and rules will be announced soon for the Stage 1's.
Some other highlights to the 2023 schedules at Snydersville and Oreville include:
• 2023 Thunder at The Ville will be held on Saturday, Sept. 30, with the possibility of expanding into a two-day event.
• This will be the final year for the Art Cronce Sr. Memorial featuring the Animal Champ. Date TBA
• The 2023 East Coast Vintage Kart Nationals at Oreville will combine the Vintage Karting Association series and Eastern Vintage Karting Promoters Cup Series under one event to make for one of the LARGEST VINTAGE EVENTS on the east coast. Event to be held Sept. 8 & 9, 2023.
• Lastly, after the fallout of West End, the Dirt-a-Rama event will be tabled until further notice. We have tried to reach out to other fairgrounds but haven't had any luck. However, if approached, our team will review the feasibility of an event occurring.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT IN THE NEXT WEEK FOR THE SEASON SCHEDULES. We are glad to have many memorial races, touring series, and exciting racing to return in 2023.
