ATQMRA Teams Challenging Rumble Series in Toledo

A number of ATQMRA drivers and teams are making their way to the Rumble Series race in Toledo, Ohio December 19^th and 20^th. Following the lead of “Liquid” Lou Cicconi many ATQMRA drivers both present and past have acquired 600cc micro sprints to compete in the Ruble Series of Indoor races this winter. Leading the way is 2008 ATQMRA feature winner Liquid Lou with his 75 car he used to compete in Columbus. ATQMRA top veteran Dave Williams will be fielding the yellow number 3 he raced in years past. Matt Roselli will be racing the Dan DeRitis 66 Hyper Micro Sprint. Mike Osite the 1985 ATQMRA Champion will be racing his 20 Hyper Micro Sprint that he will use to compete in the Gambler’s Classic. ATQMRA 2005 Rookie of the year and 2008 feature winner Matt Janisch will be racing the Ted Jones Stallard 600cc miro sprint at Toledo and Fort Wayne.

Cicconi and Osite will be looking to score the rare double competing in both the 600cc micro sprints and the Midgets in the Rumble series hoping to take top honors in both classes. Cicconi set fast time with his midget at Columbus and was fast in his micro but was out early in the midget race. Both drivers will be making their next to last tune up prior to the Gambler’s Classic in Atlantic City in January.

Dave Williams continues his love affair with indoor racing by traveling to Toledo hoping to grab the brass ring with an indoor triumph. Williams raced a limited schedule with the ATQMRA in 2008 but is a strong supporter of the mighty TQ midgets of the ATQMRA.

Matt Roselli will be getting behind the wheel of the Hyper 600 Micro sprint for the indoor event in Toledo following a competitive rookie campaign with the ATQMRA in 2008.

2008 ATQMRA feature winner Matt Janisch picked up the ride in the Ted Jones number 14 Stallard Micro Sprint that is the same micro that raced with the ATQMRA in 2005 with success scoring numerous top five finishes and is hoping for success at the remaining Rumble Series events. Janisch has qualified for each of the last three Gambler’s Classic A-mains but has failed to close the deal and earn victory in Atlantic City. He hopes to pick up the checkered flag in the Rumble Series indoor races as a tune up in the Micro Sprint before he gets behind the wheel of his regular mount, the Blu Metz 48 for another assault on the Gambler’s Classic.

General Membership Meeting

Wednesday December 3, 2008

The ATQMRA had its annual general membership meeting at the Best Western in Bethlehem, Pa for the election of officers. Blu Metz will return as President with Peter Duchak as Vice President, Don Adams as Treasurer, Richie Coy as Secretary, Dan DeRitis as Car Owner Representative, Frank Fischer as Driver Representative and Mike Roselli as Member at Large. The only addition to the board is Roselli who will be the Business Manager for the organization.

The governance of the organization was expanded from a four member, to a seven member elected board that will have the authority to govern the organization with rule making authority over everything not related to car and engine specifications. Those items will need the approval of car owners to implement changes.

The 2008 ATQMRA awards banquet is set for Saturday, February 28^th at 7:00 Pm at Lobitz Catering in Hazleton, Pa.

We are working on an exciting schedule of events for the 2009 season that will include several new venues. We are working on finalizing the details and hope to have a complete schedule for the February General Membership Meeting.

Happy Holidays

Wall Township Speedway Rumors are for the worst

http://www.wallspeedway.com/

Click the above link to go to the Wall webpage to read the letter posted by Tim Shinn regarding the closing of the speedway. This is surely a sad day to hear of the closing of yet another short track. The ATQMRA has worked hard to put together a full schedule of 17 events for the 2008 season. We will surely miss racing at Wall Township Speedway. It was on the schedule the first season the ATQMRA raced and has continuously had TQ midget races ever since with the Turkey Derby being a premier event for the TQ midgets across the years. Wall will be missed but the ATQMRA will continue to grow and prosper at new venues throughout the northeast.

Shinn's signature represented the four partners who own the speedways — Fred Archer, Joseph Sanzari and the Creamer brothers (Fletch, Glenn and Dale).

"It is with an extremely heavy heart that I must, at this time, formally announce the closing of our beloved Wall Township Speedway, formerly known to the vast majority of us as Wall Stadium," the release said.
