Angell Park Speedway – BMARA to part ways
Angell Park Speedway has announced that they will not be sanctioned by Badger Midget Auto Racing Association for the 2010 race season. Angell Park Speedway and Badger Midget Auto Racing Association have been engaged in negotiations since October of 2009. Neither party has been able to come to an agreement as to the direction of midget racing at Angell Park.
Angell Park Speedway will continue to have a weekly midget show each week scheduled to kick off the season May 16, 2010. The representatives of Angell Park Speedway would like to take this time to thank the Badger group that also dedicated a great amount of time to the assignment. We also recognize and would like to extend great thanks to Badger for their time and effort in the past.
The new series at this time will be referred to as The Angell Park Speedway Auto Racing Association (APSARA). Angell Park Speedway will continue to provide the best weekly midget show in the country and has already released new programs to attract more cars on a weekly basis.
Angell Park Speedway is currently looking for a director of competition, a flagman, 1 -2 score keepers and a tech person. All interested people shall call the track at 608-837-5252 or e-mail a letter of interest to angellpark@spwl.net.
