USAC Sprints & Midgets at Berlin Raceway

64chevy · 6/1/10, 3:16 PM

Hello everyone...

I wanted to send you a personal invitation to come up and participate with us on June 12. We are hosting the USAC National Sprint Car Series, as well as the USAC Regional Midgets. We would love to see as many of you as possible to make this show special, and grow further for the future events and years to come. If you have not been to Berlin in the past several years, we invite you to come and check us out.

New walls and fencing, scoreboard, repaved pit road areas and a very clean family friendly environment. I am a huge open wheel fan and much of the reason that you we are hosting open wheel series such as USAC many times this year, so don't let me down.

If you have any questions at all, please give me a call any time at 616-662-2051. I hope to see all of you with us on Saturday, June 12 for the first of many 2010 racing events!

When was the last USAC SPRINT car race at Berlin? I remember them being there in '93. But don't know if they were there after that.

I am not sure the last time the Sprints ran with us. I know Silver Crown raced here a few years back on a Thursday night, like we have once again this year.

Thanks for posting those results. very cool. Excited about this race!

I have a list of about 15 for sure cars for this race and another 20 or so possibles so we should hav a solid 20 car field!

The number 20 Midget will be there. We love that track. David, I believe, has fast time in a Midget set in 2008. It's a really nice track for Midgets. Hope to see the stands full. See you there

Just being picky here, but that SC race a few years back is probably the PRA Big Car race from about 2006? Does the year sound about right? I know Ryan Newman ran in it.

S_Meekhof · 6/2/10, 11:43 AM

Ya it was a PRA race. Ron Gregory won.

Cool David, glad you will be there. Berlin has had close to 30 midgets for their co sanctioned usac/woms/umara shows the past few years. I wouldnt expect that many this time but there should be quite a few. Should be a good show.

What happened to Ron Gregory? Is he Gary Irvin's stepson?
