“We are very pleased
that AMA/Ohio

another go around to host what has been a popular event for us here at
Mid-America Speedway,” stated track president and promoter Jim
Terchila. “We are going to have 15 Vintage
classes for this year's events, paying points, contingencies and
trophies for each individual evening
of racing. As has been the case in the past, Harley-Davidson
of Bloomington, Indiana will
again be the sponsor for this great doubleheader round held at our
home at the Marion County Fairgrounds on the
southeast side of Indianapolis.
“Mid-America will also
be hosting round 2 of the USA vs Canada Speedway Championship on
Saturday, August 12 which will see
over 15 riders coming in from Canada, Scotland,
and the US to contest this series. New
York State riders Mike Buman and Casey Dunholt will be among those
contesting this round, as well as a couple of riders out of the Ohio
area,” continued Terchila. “Kyle
'Lego' Legault

in the Premier League in British Speedway, including two years
doubling up in both
Poland and the UK.
Lego is best known for his time spent in Birmingham, England riding
for the Birmingham Brummies.
David
'Molly' Meldrum
from Berwick, Scotland will also be among those ready to get a piece
of the $800 to win action for the Speedway race. Mid-America’s
BJ Fesselmeyer, who has more Speedway main event wins at Mid-America
than any other rider also plans on being in the hunt for his piece of
the pie."
Tickets for the event are
$10 for spectators as well as team crew members and for pit access,
and the track will also be
hosting a barbeque for the riders and teams on Friday, August 12
after the racing is complete, and EVS
Sports will be
supplying contingency prizes for the Vintage races in the form of 25%-off coupons to the
top-3 riders in each class on both evenings. Gates
open at 2:00 PM EDT and rider's meeting at 4:00 PM EDT. First
practice is expected to start at 4:30 PM EDT with heats starting
promptly at 7:00 PM EDT.
“We're looking forward
to this event again this year,” said Terchila, “in what should be
one of our largest-attended races at
Mid-America Speedway. We sincerely hope that you can join us for what
will surely be another night of stellar
racing in what is our 9th
