Bel-Ray was a major sponsor of the event.

In addition to the jackets handed out by the Raceway Park staff, Harold Glissen rounded up support from his fine group of sponsors to help make sure no one went home empty handed.

Check out some photos from the event.

Smile Harold!

Jace Wade won a free poster from All Points Printing

Another lucky winner!

Now that's a great laundry basket.

Raceway News Flashback…1985 Part Two

Over the last couple of winters I’ve had the opportunity to scan some old issues of Raceway News. Some issues are ones that my dad has saved over the years and some were on loan to me from Joel Dengler and George Trapani.

Enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Here is part two in a series.

1985

Do you remember Rich Carrino? How about his sponsor VIP Honda?

The bottom image features Ray Sommo. At the time Ray was a top up and coming 125 racer and was coming back to his NJ roots to visit friends and do a little racing. Today Ray is living in California but is planning on coming back Eats this summer for a motocross school. Are you interested in attending?  Let us know.

In 1985 Mickey Kessler was sporting National # 20. Here he chases new expert racer John Driscoll on a big 500cc Honda 2-stroke. Today Mickey can still be found at the racetrack or in his  garage running Kessler Pro Suspension while John is VP, Partnership Development at Just Marketing International , a motorsports marketing company.
