Well guys, here it goes, another track to the wayside.

It was a tough decision for George to make, but due to poor turnout, the Mill will be closed sunday after the Seaford race. We will be open July 1st. We will reopen July 23rd, and be open for the ORL race July 29th.

As a result of poor turnouts we will be closed from July 30th until the Sept. 3rd race.

I do hope that we can get a fairly large turnout for George's Sept. night race because that will be the LAST RACE at Willow Mill Speedway. George has made it through some tough years but the last several have been horrible for racer support.

If anything changes we will let everyone know.

Thanks to all that have been there over the years and we will look forward to racing with you guys at various tracks around the states.

Sorry to hear the track will be closing.
Any chance of the asphalt remain for maybe 2-3 times a year for special shows or will the park want to remove the track completely if this is the case?

John, at this time, I doubt it. I think once George tells the township his plans, they will more then likely do something else with that area?

We will see though?

Maybe there should be even more traveling series going on. I like the ORL and enjoy racing there races, but ever since it's inception people don't support local tracks anymore. People tend only race the track where the next race is. This is another prime example of that. There will be no ORL without any tracks. I am sorry to see another track close. I wish I lived closer to make it there more often. I am going to try and make the rest of the races...

Guys, I just talked with George, is has decided to stay open the month of July due to some guys coming to race to get ready for the ORL race. If I could have you all post a "roll call" that would be great.

Thanks, Jim

PS, the month of August he will be closed the entire month.
