Speedway riders from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ontario Canada will assemble on July 16th at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon, Ohio in pursuit of the #1 Plate representing the Speedway Long Track National Championship and the $5,000 series purse. This is the final round of the series and will be presented by the Bike Days Motorcycle Club.
Canadian Speedway specialist Jeff Orosz is the current Long Track National Champion and the 2010 high point man having won the Long Track National Championship series round 1 in Canton over Memorial weekend.
The motorcycles used for speedway are not remotely like any machine you will ever see on the roads. They have acceleration on par with a Formula One racing car, but rather surprisingly have NO BRAKES, rear suspension or gears. For the technically minded, the engines are 500cc single cylinder four valve, four strokes with air cooling. Methanol is used instead of gasoline to enable them to run at very high compression ratios.
The Speedway Long Track races consist of six riders racing four laps from a clutch start. The riders start off racing three rounds of heat races. The first round of heat races are randomly drawn. During the second and third rounds of heats, the riders are grouped in each heat based on the points they earned from their previous heat finish. Points are totaled after the nine heats. The top six riders are seated directly into the Semifinals. The remaining 12 riders go to the Last Chance Qualifying (LCQ) round which consists of two 6 man races. The top three from each will transfer to the Semifinals.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place riders from each of the Semifinals transfer to the A Main.
The 4th, 5th and 6th place riders from each of the Semifinals transfer to the B Main.
The remaining six riders go to the C Main.
The 2010 Champion will emerge from final finish points earned at each race, and will win the lion's share of the $5,000 purse. In case of a tie, the winner is the rider with the better finishing position in Round 2.
Sponsors of the event include: Breece H-D, Barnett, Dixie Int., KK M-C Supply, Kames Sports, Lake Erie Chapter of the AMCA, Moose Racing, Napoleon H-D, PJ's Fabricating, Oury Grip, and Wiseco.
Enjoy this local family friendly event at affordable prices. Admission to the race is $15.00 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12, and free for 5 and younger. Tickets are general admission and go on sale at the Grandstands at noon on Friday - also available at the grandstands: event t-shirts, souvenir programs and race posters (while they last).
Gates open 2 pm, Heat races 4:30 pm and Opening Ceremony is at 6:30 pm.
