Winter Update … January 8, 2008 |
Milford, N.J.
The USAC Northeast Ford Focus Midget Series has been very
busy during the “off season.” Working on getting the
schedule finalized has been the #1 priority. The goal is to
be able to announce a schedule at The 2008 Motorsports Race
Car Show presented by VP Racing Fuels in Atlantic City.
We also would like to thank Wirtgen America and Connecticut
Trailers for their support the last few seasons. After the
schedule is finalized, the next job will be to nail down a
new Series Sponsor, and work on individual race sponsors.
There has been some big changes in the management of USAC in
Indianapolis. Kevin Miller has been named President and
Jason Smith VP of Racing Operations.. They have committed to
address the problems of the Ford Focus Series.
NE
Focus Notes – The
Ginny Quinones and Tad Uzzle Teams made the haul to Fort
Wayne, Ind. To take part in the 2 race Rumble Series. Both
missed making the tough 14 car features as 48 cars tried to
qualify.
- Former NE Focus racers, and present ARDC Stars, Nick Wean
and 2006 NE Focus Champion, Ryan Smith will try their luck
at Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals on January 12. Good Luck
to both teams!
- Last years Champion, Jeff Abold, is looking to do some
USAC National Midget racing, Super Racing, and maybe some
Focus racing too. Looks like a busy year for the college
freshman.
