Borgers OctoberFest 2013 Borgers PR Media contact Bob Snyder [email protected] Borgers OctoberFest 2013 To Set New Standards Never Thought Possible In Northeast Small Car Racing. Borgers Speedway in Saylorsburg, Pa. will host OctoberFest 2013 starting Saturday September 28 and continue through October 5, 12, 19, and 26. The five race series will be highlighted by the October 5 Borgers AllStar TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprint show featuring a wopping $2000 to the winner. All the “Stars” of Three Quarter Midget racing are expected to be in attendance for the biggest outdoor TQ/600 Sprint event in the history of the sport. $500 will go to the winner of the B Feature with a 10 car minimum. The AllStar and Junior Slingshots will also be on the card with $650 up for grabs with minimum 12 car count. The Senior Briggs Flathead Champ Karts will be racing for $1250 to win with a minimum 12 Kart count. A full Kart program will also be on the schedule. Borgers General Manager Brendan O’Connor, “It is our belief that OctoberFest 2013 is a time for us to showcase our potential to new racers who may be shopping for a new home for the 2014 racing season. To highlight our potential it is essential for us to provide an atmosphere where drivers of all capabilities can grow and excel. We also believe it is a time to profile what Borgers will look like in 2014.” “Kart classes will continue to see the dedication that many tracks lack when they mix karts with big cars. We have a firm belief that one day many of the kart drivers will be in the bigger cars. The class structure will remain the same and we will continue to work the classes to optimize the drivers and spectators experience.” “Promoter Bob Snyder, “two years ago we had what appeared to be an impossible task of converting a “Dirt Track” in “Dirt Track Country” into an asphalt racing facility. In my 45 years in the sport I have never seen a man with more dedication and guts then speedway owner Glenn Borger. Where others would have turned their backs and against all odds Glenn stood firm and may have lost the initial battle but in the end won the war and created this beautiful asphalt racing facility that you see here today which is second to none.” “With the leadership, business, and marketing skills of Brendan O’Connor there is no limit to the goals that Borgers Speedway will achieve in 2014 and beyond. With Brendan’s commitment to make Borgers Speedway the finest racing experience for racers and fans alike there is no limit to what you will see at Borgers Speedway in the present and the future.” A major issue that is a concern for new racers at Borgers is tire wear. Tire wear at Borgers is not an issue. The TQ’s and 600 Sprints are experiencing minimal tire wear. Depending on your driving style a set of asphalt tires will last you the entire five race OctoberFest series and beyond. If you drive the track like a dirt track you will burn off tires but if you drive it like an asphalt track you will get the tire wear. Check back on your tire bills for running five weeks on dirt. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you save on asphalt plus no dirt being sucked into your motor and wearing every moving part on your car. Many Slingshots and Karters have been running the same set of tires they started out with at practice back in March. With many tracks shutting down for the season Borgers is in full swing. Our plans are to run through November, weather permitting, and maybe further. We will also be offering our January practice sessions for racers headed to Atlantic City, Trenton, and Providence. Here is your opportunity to give something different a try. Come check out Borgers Speedway. You will not be disappointed. OctoberFest 2013 Schedule and Details.
