Ona Speedway shutting down season early

Here’s the notice on the Ona Speedway web site:

“Due to business reasons, the 2007 Ona Speedway season will end with the August 18, 2007, race.

Plans for the 2008 season are in progress with Bill & Lynn Bauer who purchased the race track this year.

Please be sure to show you support for local short track racing and join us on August 4, August 11, and August 18, 2007, for FAST, FAMILY, FUN!”

More than that I don’t know.

The newly-formed racing fellowship at New Life Church will be visiting the track on August 4 and 11 for evenings of fun.

I called for Billy Rose yesterday to make sure those dates would remain viable, but I didn’t get a call back. I’ll keep trying, though.

August races are still planned under Billy Roses' management. There is going to be a season finale on Oct 13th which will include the Mountaineer 100 (100 lap race) for late models with a $1000 purse. This race will be put on by new owners/managers to show next years potential.
