 Excitement is growing rapidly for the first annual Oswego Speedway "Old-Timers" Reunion-Picnic to be held on the speedway grounds on Saturday, July 15th. On that date, many of the Supermodified heroes of the past will return to for this special event. Here’s an impressive list of drivers who will be attending: Bentley Warren, Todd Gibson, Norm Mackereth and his three sons Brian, Craig and Andy; Warren Coniam, Jim Gray, Johnny Spencer, Mark Letcher, Johnny Casey, Irish Jack Murphy, Doug Syer, Tiger Tommy Leeson, Gary Reichert, Chuck Ciprich, Wayne Landon, Kempton Dates, Steve Gioia Bill Sharkey and confirmation from another dozen or so competitors is expected. From the car-owner ranks we have received confirmation from Eleanor (Rutledge) Frye and family (Rutledge Rockets 45 & 46), Roy Murphy (Shamrock 13), Jim DeLucia (Solvay Automotive 04), Jerry and Bill Knoof (White Super 21), Andy Susco (Joe Orso’s 96 super), Sean Magari (10), Billy Wright (10pins) Kenny Reece (00), Bobby June (59), Ron Buckner (36) and several others expected to be added to the list soon. The reunion-picnic will be held behind the back grandstands where a tent, tables and chairs will serve as the meeting point. A picnic style buffet will be served by Garafolo’s from 12:00 to 3:00. Non-alcoholic beverages are included as well. Overnight camping will be allowed. Everyone is welcome to attend. This gives all the fans a chance to meet their former racing heroes in a casual atmosphere where they can take pictures, get autographs and just enjoy recalling the glory days of the past. Tickets are available for $20 per person, which includes admission to that evening’s racing program. Those who just want to attend the reunion only will have a $15 charge.
