THE BATTLE OF TRENTON INDOOR RACE WEEKEND IS AT HAND, 700 FEATURE WINNER BILLY PACH AMONG THREE QUARTER MIDGET FAVORITES; SLINGSHOTS, CHAMP KARTS READY FOR BATTLE
Billy Pauch, a tested tough racing
veteran with nearly forty years of driving experience and 700 career
feature wins to his credit, will lead more than five dozen Three Quarter Midget
drivers into the Battle Of Trenton on February 7-8, 2014 inside the
city’s Sun National Bank Center.
Much like George Washington 238 years ago, Pauch is battle hardened at
age 56, that didn’t stop him from winning the 2013 New Egypt Speedway
Modified Stock Car driving championship, outracing many drivers half
his age.
Among the many entrants Pauch will need to contend with his son Billy
Pauch, Jr., whose fast-rising driving career Pauch Sr. has mentored.
Both will drive TQ Midgets owned and prepared by Colin Martin of
Denver. Pa.
The Indoor events, a first for Trenton, are produced and promoted by
Len Sammons Motorsports Productions. The Sun National Bank
Center’s races are the first in the city of Trenton since August 19,
1979. Rick Mears, who went on to become a four time Indianapolis 500
race winner, was the winner of the final USAC Championship Car race at
the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds.
The Battle Of Trenton weekend racing events call for Twin 20 lap
features for the TQ Midgets and a complete program of Slingshots on
Friday, February. 7 followed by a 40-lap for TQ Midget main event
accompanied by Champ Karts on Saturday, February 8.
TQ Midgets are smaller, lighter powerful versions of Sprint and Midget
cars specially prepared for the rigors of indoor racing.
Anthony Sesely of Matawan, N.J., heads to Trenton as the overwhelming
favorite after sweeping the weekend in Atlantic City two weeks ago,
winning the TQ Midget features on Friday and Saturday night.
Mike Lichty, one of two Canadians (hailing from Innerkip, Ontario) who
have entered the TQ Midget action inside Sun National Bank Center,
finished second to Sesely in Atlantic City’s Gambler’s Classic two
weeks ago and was a strong contender on Friday night before a late
race crash.
Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J., whose shift from asphalt Modified to
dirt Modified racing in 2013 was among the year’s biggest racing
stories, is also a popular entry. He came home with a pair of
seventh place finish in the two nights of racing in Atlantic City but
was a contender for the win each night.
Slingshots are closed cockpit cars that are identically built and
purchased from one central source, Speedway Entertainment in Lebanon,
Pa. Since the cars are theoretically identical, great emphasis is
placed on driving skill.
Simon Egan of Stroudsburg, Pa., winner of the Atlantic City Indoor
Slingshot feature two weeks ago, will lead a field of nearly three
dozen competitors into Friday’s Slingshot battle.
The ‘Slingers’ will be competing for the Snyder’s-Lance Snack
Bowl 25 title Friday night. In addition to being the title sponsor of
both races, Snyder’s-Lance, with help and support from Walt Bennett
of Bennett Motors has established a two-race Slingshot point fund.
The Champ Karts are lightning fast, caged versions of go-karts that
compete regionally and nationwide on both dirt and paved surfaces and
on both ovals and road racing circuits. Karts are agile, have no
active suspension, and require a precise touch.
Anthony Colandro of Islip Terrace, Long Island, N.Y., the Champ Kart
race winner inside Boardwalk Hall two weeks ago, is among more than
thirty drivers who will be seeking victory in Saturday’s Kart feature.
One of his key rivals is likely to be Douglas Stearly, the Trappe, Pa.
standout who took the lead on the next-to-last lap in Atlantic City
only to spin out, costing him the race.
PRC Industries/Angela’s House Charity has come aboard to sponsor
the first Battle Of Trenton Indoor races.
PRC, located in St. James, Long Island, N.Y., is a returns-management
agency. The company is dedicated to the philosophy that household
appliances and computer products need not be throwaway goods.
