I have recieved word from some of the traditional non-wing sprint car racers that live in my area that Dean Miracle has signed a two year lease on the Waynesfield Motor Sports Park in Waynesfield, OH.

I have known Dean for many years. He has a vast knowledge from all angles of racing and I am sure he will do his best to take Waynesfield to the next level. Back in the early 80's when we were running stock cars he was promoting Limaland Speedway. Over the years he has been a car owner, promoter, worked a lot with Earl Baltes, run a t-shirt trailer at Eldora and was promoting a late model series in recent years. He also I believe was the promoter for the special shows that were ran at Millstream Speedway in Findlay, OH in 2008, so Dean's been around the racing industry for many years and worked with some of the best.

The local racers told me that Dean hopes to be able to announce some of his plans at the Waynesfield Banquet on November 2nd.

All you traditional sprint car fans and competitors need to speak up and send a message to Dean and let him know what you would like to see at Waynesfield in 2009 & 2010. I don't currently have any contact info for him but I believe he may visit this message board at times.

I saw another thread here on IOW about Montpelier Speedway thinking about running some sprint shows in 2009. This may also be a good time for those folks to seriously think about this. I know last season, I heard a lot of the racers and fans saying they wished Montpelier would run them on the off nights at Waynesfield as they wanted somewhere to go every week.

If you want to see traditional sprint car racing at Waynesfield, I suggest you all let it be known. Even if you never post but like to read the topics here on IOW, you may want to make a post on this and let Dean know we want traditional sprint car racing to continue at Waynesfield. Even though I like all forms of dirt track racing, the traditional sprinters are my favorite.:thumb
