Saylorsburg, PA., May 15th, 2013: Despite threatening weather conditions over 300 cars jammed the Borgers pits and parking lot for this past Saturday’s event. Well, that did include racecars, trucks pulling racecars, push quads, cars in the grandstand area, Pap’s Golf Cart, employee cars, plus a few we pulled off route 115 when we threw the spike strips out.

One thing about not being “Number One” is there is only one way and that is up. Under the direction of Brendan O’Connor Borgers Speedway is on the way to the top. Lots of improvements underway and a promise that “We will not cancel with a 80% Chance Of Rain” and “We will leave the lights on for you.” Hmmmm. Borrowed that from Tom Bodett at Motel Six. Thought is sounded cool.

Experience small car asphalt racing at it’s finest at the “World’s Fastest 1/7 Mile Small Car Asphalt Borgers Super Speedway,” where the “The Best Is Yet To Come”

And Good Night Mrs. Calabash wherever you are. First person e-mailing me bobsnyderphoto@enter,net telling me who always said that gets a free grandstand pass.

Borgers Speedway May 14th Updates.

Co-Promoter & Media Contact Bob Snyder bobsnyderphoto@enter.net

Saylorsburg, PA., May 14th, 2013: Borgers general manager Brendan O’Connor is a person who will never give up and with a tremendous effort by the Borgers Speedway track crew beat all odds and got the show in this past Saturday. O’Connor, “ I knew we would take a hit financially but I felt it was important to let everyone know that when it comes to Borgers Speedway I mean business. We needed to show everyone we mean what we say and this is the principal we will run races with and carry this track into the future.” Promoter Bob Snydere, “when Brendan told me we were going to run knowing what we were up against I said you are crazy. When I realized I was not going to talk him out of it I said let’s do it. Was I ever wrong as I never thought we would get the race in. I would like to thank everyone for coming out and bearing with us.”

Awesome job by Brandon Azzalina in his first run in the Metz Three Quarter Midget. A very fine fourth place finish in the overall combined TQ and Dirt 600 Sprint main and a second place finish with the TQ’s. Keep your eyes on this kid as he is an up and coming superstar in open wheel racing and we hope to see a lot more of him in the future at Borgers.

Jason Hentrich finally got the monkey off his back that has plaqued him all season. With mechanical problems hopefully a thing of the past and taking a liking to the extra lane of racetrack on the inside Jason quickly made his presence known. A second place in the TQ main in a very close race with Don Zrinski and a win in the Wingless Dirt 600 Sprint feature made for a very pleasant change of pace from recent weeks.

Good to see Amanda Conroy and Mike Moyer getting faster each week in AllStar Slingshots. A win for each of these two fine racers will come very shortly.

A Borgers Speedway welcome to Jim Stevenson in his first AllStar Slingshot appearance.

I won’t mention names but who was the father that forgot to put fuel in his son’s Kart causing him to run out of fuel while leading and cost him a win. I won’t breathe a word Jimmy Silfee.

Joseph Costello made the long trip from near Wall Stadium in New Jersey and took a liking to the Borgers asphalt. Joe and his father were so impressed with Borgers they said we will be seeing much more of them.

You may of seen the Mahoning Speedway pace car on the grounds Saturday. Tim Santee who is one of the operators at the exciting, action packed Mahoning Speedwat and whose wife and daughter run microstocks at Borgers brougth his son Gavin along who is a very accomplished racer at the nearby Snydersville Speedway. Gavin took a liking to Borgers in one of the Silfee Junior clone Karts. We hope to see much more of the Santees when their busy schedule permits.

Congratulations to Roy Morris on his MicroStock win Saturday.

With great sadness Borgers Speedway offers condolences to the family of the Borgers Speedway “Backstretch Dive Bombing Bird”. The bird who was known to make frequent dive bombs at the racecars going down the backstretch was a bit off cue on Saturday and slammed into the Junior Slingshot of Joey Agnello Jr. The race was red flagged as the bird was removed from the fence. Sadly the bird did not survived it’s injuries and was laid to rest by Brian Wambold in the Borgers Speedway flower bed outside of turn two. We offer our Thoughts and Prayers to the family. Grief counselors will be available at next week’s races.

Mother Nature no match for Borgers Speedway

as Hentrich, Zrinski, Bettler, & Agnello beat the rain.

Co-Promoter & Media Contact Bob Snyder bobsnyderphoto@enter.net

Saylorsburg, PA., May 12th, 2013: A determined Borgers Speedway track drying crew of Brandon Azzalina, Brian and BJ Wambold, Joe Agnello, Dan Curnell, and Eric Ceasar worked relentlessly from 11:00 a.m. at times during the rain to dry the asphalt surface to get racing underway at 4:00 p.m. In a gutsy move where many other track operators would of thrown in the towel Brendan O’Connor vowed he would get the show in if it took until the curfew time of 10:00 p.m. Obviously with the low turn out due to the weather O’Connor lost his shirt but he felt he had an obligation to his drivers and fans to get the show in.

Hoosier Racing Tires TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints ran a combined show with the Hoosier Racing Tires Wingless Dirt 600 Sprints. While the overall finish was the official finish the Dirt 600 Sprints were also scored separately which gave Jason Hentrich his first win of the season over Mike Fillbrunn.

In his first race in a Blu Metz Three Quarter Midget Dirt 600 Standout Brandon Azzalina led the field to turn one followed by Jonathon Cortright and Jason Hentrich but in a bold move it was Jason Hentrich in the lead coming out of turn two. On a lap two restart Don Zrinski got by Azzalina and Cortright and made the pass on Hentrich one lap later for the lead. At half way Mike Fillbrunn got by Cortright and Azzalina moving into third. From the halfway mark Hentrich put tremendous pressure on Zrinski in the race for the lead. With five laps to go Cortright got by Azzalina but it was short lived as Azzalina regained fourth spot one lap later. With Hentrich hot on Zrinski’s tail it took “The Snake” everything he had to hold off a hard charging Hentrich. As the checkered flag waved it was Zrinski, Hentrich, Fillbrunn, Azzalina, and Cortright.

It was only a matter of time until Jason Hentrich got the monkey off his back that has plagued him all season. Hentrich running a Dirt 600 Sprint closed the gap on Zrinski and it was all Zrinski had to hold off Hentrich for the win. With a new Dirt 600 Sprint almost completed Hentrich will be a real threat both in TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints and Dirt 600 Sprints.

Looks like the hundreds of laps Brandon Azzalina ran on a quad drying the track this morning got him some good knowledge of the Borgers asphalt but not so fast. Azzalina is no stranger to Borgers Speedway winning numerous AllStar Slingshot races along with his brother Zac during the dirt days at Borgers. With top finishes at Atlantic City in Dirt 600 Sprints and Slingshots it was no surprise that he would adapt quickly to the Borgers asphalt. As a matter of fact back in January of 2012 Brandon was the first racer to turn a lap in his Dirt 600 Sprint on the newly paved track. Blu Metz is well known for getting many young drivers started and hopefully we will se more of Brandon in one of Blu’s cars and a trip to victory lane will not be far behind.

Another person that is not a stranger to Borggers Speedway is Kurt Bettler and it did not take him long to get to victory lane in AllStar Slingshots. It was Bettler,Jim Stevenson, and Mike Moyer to turn one at the drop of the green. By lap two John Drake charging from the rear moved into second place. As Bettler increased his lead Mike Moyer and Amanda Conroy put the pressure on Drake for second and with five laps to go Conroy got by Moyer for third. The last five laps Moyer was glued to Conroy’s back bumper but could not build enough steam to get by her. At the finish it was Bettler, Drake, Conroy, Moyer, and Stevenson. Joey Agnello Jr. won the Junior slingshot feature.

Saylorsburg, PA., May 9th, 2013: In response to numerous e-mails and messages pertaining to our Junior Karting Battle At The Borg to be held during our OctoberFest Series plans are well underway. With the transfer of control of Borgers Speedway to Brendan O’Connor our priority right now is completing this changeover.

Saylorsburg, PA., May 9th, 2013: Danny’s Small Engine Repairs Hatboro, Pa Sweetens The Pot for Penny-Wise Fuel Co., Tony Power Kart Supply, Silfee Service Champ Kart King Of The Asphalt Race Two May 18 at Borgers Speedway.

Dan “Pappy” Curnell has added $50 cash to the third place finisher in the King Of The Asphalt Race Two Saturday May 18. Papy a regular competitor at Borgers Speedway and one of our most loyal supporters owns and operates Danny’s Small Engine repairs in Hatboro, Pa. You can see Pappy every week at Borgers Speedway and he can supply all of your small engine repair needs.

Pappy’s $50 is in addition to $200 for first place from Penny-Wise Fuel Co regardless of kart count. An additional $200 from Tony Power Kart Supply with an eight kart count, and $50 for first and fifth place from Silfee Service with a 12 Kart count.

An anticipated invasion of Long Island Karters along with the Borgers regulars and Karters from a three state area is slated to make this a major event.

Can’t say anything more right now but we are in negotiations for a major event in the month of June. If all goes as planned I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Borgers Speedway would like to welcome Alex Greensweig to our staff. Alex who does a fine job with his dad Barry in operating Snydersville and Oreville Speedways will be handling the scoring system and the implementation of Borgers Speedway utilizing an all transponder system for all divisions. Internet access between the sign in office and the tower will greatly improve our sign ups, line ups, and scoring of the races. Chief scorer Trina Bechtold is learning the computer system which will make her job a lot easier.

All this will free up Race Director Darin Barthlomew to concentrate on running the races. Darin does an outstanding job watching all the action, making crucial calls, and giving information to the flag man. You never know where Darin is as he may be in the tower, in the infield , or in the pits and believe me he does not miss anything.

You will see more improvements on the speedway grounds this Saturday. This will be a continuing effort and what Brendan O’Connor has planned for this track will totally blow your mind.

Regular show this weekend for all divisions. I have cut a deal with “Mother Nature” and we should be fine. Keep in mind for weather cancellations you can call the Borgers Speedway Hot Line 570-992-8131 or the quickest information will be on our Facebook page when a decision is made. Even more reliable is to friend me Bob Snyder on Facebook. Any cancellation information will also be posted on my status. We have been having some problems with the Borgers Facebook page where even myself as administrator can not make posts. We will always try to make a decision on a cancellation by 11;00 a.m.

Brendan O’Connor has placed a huge responsibility on my shoulders and has given us what we need to make this track the number one 1/7 mile asphalt racetrack in the world. Along with Brendan’s guidance and a very capable and dedicated staff I will make this promise. IT WILL HAPPEN!!! Borgers Super Speedway. “Where The Best Is Yet To Come.”

Saturday May 4 News.

In the first ever appearance of the ATQMRA Three Quarter Midgets the Borgers Speedway Faithful were treated to one of the most spectacular shows in the history of the speedway. Anthony Sesely, in the Blu Metz, Metz Rides For Rent “Black Betty” held off all challengers bringing the win to the Metz team. Anthony Schlosser White finished a strong seventh in the Metz team car. Look for a return of ATQMRA August 17 along with The Vintage TQ Club for another action packed day of racing.

The Junior Clone Karters also staged a Kart race that was second to none. Austin Silfee and Michael Eckhart Jr. staged a “Nail Biting” duel with Jared Silfee glued to their back bumpers. Austin and Michael battled side by side swapping the lead numerous times with Jared waiting for either driver to make a mistake and grab the lead. In a finish so close you could of thrown a blanket over all three Karts Austin Silfee came home the winner edging out Michael Eckhart and brother Jared Silfee.

Good to see Tom and Nick Boyd back in action.

In another Borgers Speedway first James and brother Gavin Moyer both won Champ Kart features in the same day.

Also back in action is Bridgett “The Mulch Shoveling Passer Outer” Conti in her Senior Champ Kart. Sorry Brig. Just could not resist.

First appearance of the year for Amanda Conroy in her AllStar Slingshot. Look for her making a trip to victory lane very soon.

Doc Lapicki took over the driver’s seat for his son Mike the past two weeks as Mike and Sarah await their blessed event. Mike probably got more then he was expecting when he got the call that Doc wound up on his head in turn four the first lap of the feature in a three wide move that did not turn out as expected. The car was up righted and Doc continued the feature.

Look for a major announcement later today concerning additional sponsorship for the May 18 Penny-Wise Fuel Co Champ Kart King Of The Asphalt Race two. Someone will be be going home with a very fat payout.

Metz Family Synonymous With History of Northeast

Racing and History Yet to be Written..

Co-Promoter & Media Contact Bob Snyder bobsnyderphoto@enter.net

Saylorsburg, PA., May 6th, 2013: Please note the following corrections to the Metz Racing Family release which is printed below.

Stan Metz was not Blu Metz’s grandfather. Blu’s grandfather was Juni Metz. Stan Metz and Juni Metz were brothers. Sorry for any confusion.

The name Metz has been synonymous with racing in the northeast from the days of stock car racing with Grandfather Stan Metz. Stan’s son Bing was an “Open Wheel Icon” for many years with over 100 wins to his credit. Bing’s son Blu carried on the family tradition as a driver and car owner and owner of Metz Rides for Rent which rents Three Quarter Midgets to aspiring racecar drivers who want to get a feel of the action.

In recent years you can still find Blu behind the wheel but he has concentrated his efforts on giving young drivers a chance and in fact starting many driver’s racing careers. With the paving of Borgers Speedway for the 2012 racing season Blu has been one of Borgers Speedway’s most loyal supporters many weeks fielding three or four cars.

Last season Blu gave Rob Vivona a chance and Rob did not disappoint him with a number of feature wins. While Rob will miss the 2013 racing season due to his recovery from a recent illness Super Star Anthoney Sesely has found his way to the Metz stables. With one win already to his credit in 2013 at Borgers it does not take a Rocket Scientist to realize the Sesely-Metz combinations would be a force to be reckoned with.

As the highly renowned ATQMRA TQ’s made their first appearance at Borgers Speedway this past Saturday May 4 a showdown was in the making as the ATQMRA Stars took on the Borgers Speedway regulars. In what would turn out to be the finest display of racing in the speedway’s history the Sesley-Metz combination took on all challenges and screamed into Borgers Speedway victory lane. As the Metz family beaming with pride streamed to victory lane Blu commented “this was certainly a race of drama.” Drama is putting it lightly as the drivers thrilled the fans to an action packed feature event that was second to none. Surely a “Fairy Tale Ending” for a family that has given so much to racing and will continue to do so in the future. Borgers Speedway is proud to say you are one of us.

Sessley withstands the challenge, Fillbrunn makes it Win number 4,

Al Hauptman first time Winner, & Joey Agnello repeats.

Co-Promoter & Media Contact Bob Snyder bobsnyderphoto@enter.net

Saylorsburg, PA., May 5th, 2013: When you have the combination of Anthony Sessley and a Blu Metz race machine it is a tough combination to beat. The Stars of ATQMRA invaded Borgers Speedway for their first ever ATQMRA sanctioned event and the Borgers regulars prevailed. At the drop of the green Frank Fisher led the field of 14 Hoosier Racing Tires ATQMRA Three Quarter midgets to turn one followed by Sesley and Matt Roselli but Sessley came out of turn two in the lead with Fisher and Ryan Tidman trailing. On a lap seven restart Tidman got by Sesley winning the sprint to turn one. By lap thirteen Matt Janisch coming like a freight train challenged Tidman for the lead. Tidman and Janisch raced side by side the next five laps with neither driver giving an inch. Going into turn three contact was made sending Tidman and Janisch to the rear and Sessley regaining the lead. On the restart Mike Tidaback and Joey Bailey entered the picture. On lap twenty one Jeff Kot moved into third spot as Tidman coming from the rear once again became a player. With five laps to go Tidaback spun going into turn three setting up Sessley, Kot, Brett Conkling, and Tidman in a five lap dash to the finish. As the laps wound down Brett Conkling and Kot tangled moving Tidman to second. In the final laps Tidman mounted a challenge to Sesley but Sesley held strong edging Tidman at the finish line followed by Buddy Sload, Mike Tidaback, and AJ Fuge.

ATQMRA provided the most exciting race ever during the asphalt era at Borgers which sets the stage for the August 17 Wingless race and the blockbuster October 5 Rumble On the ridge. Afterwards the very happy winniong car owner blu Metz said “it definitely was a race of drama.” And the drama will continue.

In Hoosier Racing tires Wingless dirt 600 Sprints Mike Fillbrunn made it win number four in a row taking the win over Jason Hentrich, Jonathon cortright, and Tex Snyder.

AllStar Slingshots saw a new face in victory lane for 2013 with Al Hauptman taking his first win of the season. Hauptman used his pole position starting spot to take the early lead over John Drake and Joshua Reeder. Coming out of turn two Drake charged to the lead and a two car battle with Hauptman developed. As the leaders raced for the lead Doc Lapicki coming from a flip during his heat moved into third. Lap eight Hauptman regained the lead with Tom Hennessey getting by Lapicki for third on lap fourteen. As Joshua Reeder held on to fourth Amanda Conroy joined the lead group in fifth. As the laps ticked down Hauptman held off the challenge of Drake to take his first win. Drake was second followed by Hennessey, Reeder and Conroy got by Lapicki to take fourth and fifth. Joey Agnello Jr. made it win number three in Junior Slingshots.

BORGERS SPEEDWAY PAVING THE WAY TO THE FUTURE

Co-Promoter & Media Contact Bob Snyder bobsnyderphoto@enter.net

Saylorsburg, PA., May 1st, 2013: Borgers Speedway will be “Paving the Way To The Future” with Brendan Oconnor at the helm. Brendan OConnor, owner of Brendan OConnor Motorsports will lease and operate the track from speedway owners Glenn and Ruth Borger. While there has been some speculation about Glenn’s recent illness this is not an issue at all. Glenn has made a miraculous recovery but feels it is time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, without the pressure of operating the track. Glenn has been waxing up his surf board and plans on doing some sky diving but you will still see him at the track cruising around the property and telling an occasional XXX Rated joke or two.

Brendan Oconnor, “I look at “Pap” as my grandfather figure and will seek his mentoring in running the track. I feel very honored he has given me this opportunity and I will not let him down. I will do whatever it takes to make this track second to none and I will spare no expense in doing so. We have the bus and we have the right people on it. It is a matter of putting them in the right seats and this bus will do big things.”

Bob Snyder, “Glenn has to be the most courageous fighter I have ever seen. From day one he had insurmountable obstacles to keep his “Field Of Dreams” in operation. When the neighbors thought they had knocked him out he showed them who was boss, calling their bluff, and paved the track. A lesser man would of packed up and walked away but not Glenn Borger.” “Brendan worked very closely with us all last season, mostly behind the scene, and was responsible along with Gary Conkling of Green Flag Driving Experience for our very successful OctoberFest series.”

Racers and fans will see immediate changes with a total revamping and landscaping of the grounds. Restructured grandstand pricing and an expanded food stand menu are in the works. Many major races are in the planning stages and the entire schedule is up to change. Our 2013 OctoberFest will be one of the biggest experiences to hit the Northeast and will be a month to remember.

We will be working closely with ATQMRA, The Vintage TQ Group, Dirt 600 Sprints, and the Slingshots to enhance the big car program.

A total revamping of the Karting and MicroStock program is underway to build these divisions and we will be making a major push on the Junior Divisions. We will be encouraging the kids to bring their, bikes, scooters, and Big Wheels to take to the track before the races start and are looking into Big Wheel racing.

Changes will come swiftly pertaining to every aspect of Borgers Speedway and the changes will be awesome. The goal of Brendan Oconnor is to make Borgers Speedway the finest 1/7 mile asphalt speedway in the world. Sit back, strap yourself in, and get ready for the ride of your life. The Best Is Yet To Come.
