Midwest Connection - Oswego Speedway, New York

Midwest Connection · 7/29/09, 11:32 PM

For those heading to Oswego Speedway, New York for the Silver Crown race on 6 August 2009 - a few photos.

I did give a thought to driving back to my home town of Oswego, New York for the Silver Crown race on 6 August 2009. Hard to pass up the Silver Crown races wherever they are.

Instead, I will be attending the 2 day WoO sprint car races at I-55 Speedway, Missouri on 7 and 8 August 2009.

I-55 Speedway, Missouri is a 20 minute drive from my house, vice the 15 hour drive to Oswego.

Have a good day...see you at the races

Sorry to hear you aren't coming home next week Rich. Two trips east in less than a month is probably a bit much to make. Thanks for posting the pictures! Hope you enjoy the WOO races.

Safe racing,

Patti

Patti,
Ah Yes, The Big O, what an awesome race place for sure. The Silver Crowners I am sure will put on an awesome show. Hope you have a great time, and keep me posted - thanks.

My next Silver Crown race for sure is - Springfield, Illinois for the Tony Bettenhausen 100 on 22 August 2009.

Have a good....see you at the races
