Welcome to
the home of
the original Classic Racing Series!
The Classic Racing
Series has been in existence since the 1990’s
with one resounding purpose,
AFFORDABLE & COMPETITIVE RACING. We firmly
believe that affordable racing, using
similar equipment, contributes to competitive
racing. The 2007 points championship can
down to the last race between 3 drivers, the top
six in points also came down to the last lap of
the last race. That’s exciting racing that
you can easily become a part of.
New for 2008 is the introduction of the GM Crate
Motor. These motors are brand new pieces
from GM, factory sealed and designed for circle
track racing. The new power plant along
with our strict racing rules result in
affordable, competitive racing, week in and week
out. We are looking forward to running the
new 350’s during this year’s competition.
This club is a traveling series; we mix it up at
various tracks in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia. Traveling to different tracks
adds a unique twist and an added challenge to
the set up of our machines. This element
makes it all the more fun, looking for that
perfect ride. Photo finishes, last corner
passes and green to checker feature runs are
common during our racing season.
So a club with a deep history as ours, great
camaraderie between the racers, affordable cars,
and competitive racing, what’s left to want?
Make the move today, send an e-mail, come to the
track and talk to the members, our club
membership speaks for itself, like none other.

Welsh Racks Up Two in a Row
With the victorious momentum from the season
opener, Kurt Welsh, driving for
CountyExcavating, shows he can
do it from deep in the field. The 21 car
handicapped deep in the field needed every lap
of the Allegany Scrap sponsored event to work to
the front and score an impressive victory at The
Rock. The 12 car pushed up in the middle of 1
and 2 on the final lap and Welsh capitalize by
ducking under Crocker and took the checkered
flag to make it two in a row and a perfect
season thus far for 2009. The 578 car of Matt
Wallace, secured the pole position after an
outstanding heat race win, was flanked by the
veteran Bill Brown Sr. at the drop of the green.
Brown jumped to an early lead and held on until
falling out just passed the mid way point.
Crocker starting sixth took the lead until the
reigning series champion made the move that
counted and brought home the bounty. Crocker
held onto 2nd with Roland Brown in tow for 3rd.
Mr. Smooth Snodgrass limped the 34 machine home
4th after late race contact with
Wallace. And how about Steve Cantwell, another
top 5 for the sharp 20 car showing he can get
the job done.
The Series returns to the track on May 2nd
at Trail-Way Speedway after a well deserved week
off. Come on out and check the best two and
three wide action there is with the Original
Classic Racing Series.
Welsh Owns
Winchester
The
Classic Racing Series opened the 2009 racing
season at Winchester Speedway on April 11th.
It was the 2008 Classic Racing Series point
champion Kurt Welsh winning the season opener.
The 20 lap Winchester Scrap sponsored event was
full of excitement. Welsh battled early with the
112 of Bill Brown, and then it was the 21a of
Roland Brown giving it to Welsh. Following Brown
to the front was the brand new 578 machine
driven by Matt Wallace who wanted his turn at
Welsh, and finally the 34 car piloted by Mr.
Smooth Snodgrass followed Welsh across the line
to finish in the runner up spot. Roland Brown
settled for third and Charlie Weaver whipped up
a 4th place run. Steve Cantwell
rebounded to an impressive 5th place
finish.
The Series heads to The Rock on Saturday the 18th
to circle the newly configured speedway. This is
the 2nd of 18 confirmed races for the
series in 2009.
