DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Tuesday, March 9, 2010) - It was a re-building year in 2009 for Steve Sinclair as he took over the operations of Wilmot Raceway, an ASA Affiliated Track in Wilmot, WI. After a successful first year, he is ready to step it up for the 2010 season.
"We are definitely increasing the schedule, so there is a lot more race dates for everybody concerned," Sinclair said. "We have five base classes there with the winged 410 Sprint Cars, Modifieds, Street Stocks, 1200cc Mini Sprints, and Fearless 4's which is like a hornet class. Plus we have a bunch of specials, the ASA IRA Bumper-to-Bumper Outlaw Sprint Series is coming there five times, a UMP Summer Nationals Late Model date, the Badger Midgets twice, the Illini Midgets once, an AMA motorcycle race, so we have a pretty busy schedule."
This schedule will begin with a two day opening weekend on May 15-16 with an Open Wheel Extravaganza featuring 410 Sprints, Mini Sprints, Modifieds, Badger Midgets, Street Stock, and Fearless 4's.
Looking back at 2009, Sinclair was happy with how the season went. Part of that success was how he came up with the schedule, "On a limited schedule we had a great year. We are upping the dates but its not going to be an every Saturday night deal," Sinclair explained. "I am looking at what is around us and trying to schedule properly. It worked last year, in some cases where there is a big special on a Saturday we will run our guys on Friday, trying to take advantage of the fact that maybe we can draw some cars those tracks to come down by us and it has worked."
One thing that Sinclair said has helped get Wlimot back on the right track is their association with the American Speed Association, "I think its been a big help," Sinclair said. "Wilmot's reputation was declining there for a while so last year was a huge step and we got it back on the right track. I think affiliating ourselves with a national organization like ASA is the right thing to do."
"Steve is a very well recognized promoter," Dennis Huth, ASA President said. "Last year, he was recognized as Co-Promoter of the Year by the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and his hard work clearly shows that. As he said, he looks around and tries to make things work. With that thought process, he has been and will continue to be successful. Wilmot had a great 2009 season and watch out for them to step it up in 2010."
