Welcome to
the home of
the original Classic Racing Series!
The Classic Racing
Series has been in existence since the 1990’s
with the achieved goal of
AFFORDABLE & COMPETITIVE RACING. We firmly
believe that affordable racing, using
similar equipment, contributes to competitive
racing. The 2007 points championship came
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.

Brown Sr. Wins
from the Pole at Trail-Way
(July 1, 2008) -
Classic Racing
Series veteran Bill Brown Sr. led the entire
15-lap Freedom Septic sponsored feature event.
Brown, who is no stranger to victory lane at
Trail-Way Speedway, was pressured by Kevin
Palmer and Pete Neal several times throughout
the feature. Palmer and Neal showed poise as
they battled throughout the entire feature
event. The only caution came on lap 14 when Bill
Brown Jr. hit the outside retaining wall in
turns one and two allowing Palmer the last
chance to steal the win away from Brown Sr. On
the restart, Brown Sr. pulled away from both
Palmer and Neal, taking the double checkers.
Palmer and Neal finished second and third
followed by a great run by Phil Alexander in
fourth and Kurt Welsh rounding out the top five.
Brian Diehl, Joe Snodgrass, Steve Cantwell, Al
Daniels, and Matt Wallace completed the top ten.
The Classic racers were paraded in front of the
crowd by the a classic police car driven by a
classy Charlie Bopst. A big thank you to Charlie
for bringing out his classic and sharing his
collectable with all of us. Freedom Septic
provided the sponsorship for the 15 lap feature
event, thanks to all the great people at Freedom
Septic.
The Series will
take a well deserved break until the action
continues at Susquehanna Speedway Park on July
26th.
Diehl Takes
Home a Piece of the Rock
(May 30, 2008) -
Brian Diehl drives the #9 car to victory at The
Rock Friday night. The Charlie's Bobcat
sponsored machine puts two wins in the record
books for 2008. Diehl led the entire way
of the Classic Racing Series feature for the win
over the 34 car of Joe Snodgrass. The top five
cars broke away early before cautions began to
slow the pace. The rest of the top five changed
hands among Snodgrass, the 112 car of Pete Neal,
Al Daniels (11) and Brooks Coleman(39).
Snodgrass eventually secured second on lap
seven. He trailed Diehl to the finish by five
car lengths after some early pressure. Neal held
off an impressive run by Al Daniels until lap 13
when the 11 car of Daniels spun under green and
dropped to the rear. Bill Brown Jr. finishes 4th
and hats off to Brooks Coleman for a great run
and a stellar 5th place finish.
